Why Choose Maco PKG for Dry Filling

We maintain all safety regulations to ensure high quality packaging for your high quality product.

Maco PKG, an organic and kosher certified dry filling packaging company, provides a dependable packaging option for packaging dry products. What makes Maco stand apart from the rest?

Dust Control

Dry products often become airborne during the filling process. If dry products are filled in the same room, they mix in the air, contaminating both products. To prevent cross contamination, we have several independent environments within our packaging facility for dry filling. Within these rooms we regulate temperature and prohibit dust and other impurities from contacting your dry product.

Dry Filling Options

Dry filling provides almost unlimited options. Since you can dry fill in both rigid and flexible packaging, you can fill in boxes, pouches, cans, jars, or bags.  Lightweight and versatile, dry packaging performs well for many applications. We can create any packaging, from sample packets like sweeteners to ounce-dependent packaging like dry foods.  

Benefits of Dry Filling

Dry filling usually doesn’t need refrigeration but still maintains a long shelf life. It is especially useful for extending the shelf life of dry products that become functional only upon the addition of water.

Manufactured Precisely to Your Specifications

We support equipment and machines that fill precisely and accurately, especially for products that are filled per ounce rather than count. Upon request and depending on prototype results, we incorporate various closures for easy use, such as valves for bulkier products or sieves for finely ground products.

Our dry filling capabilities provide the perfection solution to your dry packaging dilemmas. We are committed to perfection, so we’ll work with you to create and manufacture the perfect packaging for your dry product.

Why Choose Wicket Bags?

Wicket Bags Provide the Perfect Solution for Large Automatic Runs
You’re ready to package a fairly bulky product such as poultry or apples. Maybe you’re pressed for time and want to get your product into the market as fast as possible with as much quantity as is practical. What are your options? You need a solution that minimizes time spent in the factory and maximizes time on the shelf displaying your product. Well, Maco PKG as your food packaging company likely has the perfect solution for you.

The Answer? Wicket Bags!

Wicket bags were first manufactured to provide an efficient but fast way to package large quantities of bulky product. They’re individually cut with a durable bottom gusset and an open top. The opening has two holes on opposite sides that allow a lower-case “n” shaped metal wire to be threaded through as handles. They are easily ported to various locations.

Available Options for your Wicket Bags

Maco PKG provides several options for wicket bags, depending on the end use. For example, we can include a tear-start opening for easy access or headers and seals in whatever size you want. If you need your wicket bag to be adhesive we can manufacture them with Ethylene Vinyl Acetate. If you’re packaging clothing, we can include Ultraviolet Index to protect your product from UV rays, which can cause colors to fade.

An Effective Advertising Tool

In addition to providing an inexpensive way to package anywhere from 100 to 250 on automated packaging machines, wicket bags offer an excellent advertising strategy. We can print your logo or brand name in up to six colors. You can greatly increase your audience’s recognition of your quality product when you incorporate printing on your bags.

Dependable for a Variety of Products

Wicket bags are most often used for bulky products like meat, vegetables and non-perishables. They have strong walls that are able to endure sharp edges from products without tearing. The wire handles present an easy way to port even heavier products like potatoes and ice.
