Food Products
Packaging whole and process grains, sugar and
mix ingredients. We have now expanded to providing bread and bakery product
bags.
Our company began its history by providing high quality packaging
materials for this marketplace and we have never forgotten its importance.
To maximize fill rates you need a truly square, stiff bag that opens
readily and breathes properly. The seal has to hold and the bag has
to stack properly. Valves must close properly. Most common constructions
are multiwall paper pinch bottom and sewn open mouth. We also make
breathable plastic bags for grains and processed foods that do not
require paper. We offer a square bottom bag for bakeries requiring
differentiation for their premium brands. We also offer "Promotional Bags"
where trading cards or coupons can be inserted in isolatation from the product.

Packaging for french fry and butcher wrap
Coated webs have to be consistent to run properly at high speed. With
the most recent high-speed, computer controlled coating equipment,
Hood Packaging is a leading supplier of coated papers. We are a
growing supplier of coated papers to the institutional french fry market.
Combining our equipment, proprietary blends of co-extruded resin coatings
and specialty papers have permitted customers to substantially improve
their filling speeds. |

Cookie and Coffee Bags
Small sized SOS and satchel bags using tin tie closures, unique die
cut windows and superb quality graphics help our customers deliver
extraordinary shelf impact. |

Dairy products
"Z" fold bags, bags with a polyethylene liner that extends above the
edge of the bag, provide a unique solution for packaging milk power.
The inner liner improves your assurance of hygienic filling over other
bag types.

Pet Foods
Pet Food Packaging requires exceptional consumer graphics, print quality
and grease barrier stability. Filling at high speed requires an easy
opening bag with sharp, square gussets. Add to that electron beam,
ultra violet lacquers and stand up plastic pouches with zipper closures
and we have perhaps the most complete line of flexible packaging for
pet foods in North America.

Building Products
Roofing
We were among the first companies to develop polyethylene shrink bundle
wrap for roofing shingles. Rugged polyethylene, with balanced shrink
properties, silicone release varnishes and lacquers, along with excellent
print registration helps roofing shingle manufacturers stretch their
packaging dollars over older paper alternatives that are more subject
to weather and breakage problems. |
|
Insulation
We were one of the first companies in North America to produce polyethylene
packaging for insulation materials. Paradigm films, our high strength,
rigid films that require less resin, bring real advantages in filling
while reducing costs whether you use bags or have form, fill and seal
equipment. |
|
Cement and Minerals
Sonic sealed valves, micro perforation, valve configuration and polyethylene
handle bags permit a wide range of alternatives for the cement and
mineral markets. We are a major supplier to this marketplace, particularly
with our new EXTech™ high performance papers that permit a reduction
in paper basis weight, while providing improved strength and lower
breakage rates. |

stop shop" for the industrial salt business - providing the widest

sewn open mouth multiwall bags - square end poly valve bags - back
seamed valve bags - handle bags with hard, patch or
reinforced patch handles - open mouth PE - PE form fill and seal. |
