A Brief Discussion on Precautions for Storing Plastic Packaging Bags in Winter


Custom-made plastic packaging bags are a common product we order, but we’ve noticed that in winter, the plastic becomes quite brittle. What causes this? Let’s take a closer look.

  Qingdao Platinum Packaging Technology Co., Ltd. is a manufacturing enterprise specializing in plastic flexible packaging, encompassing the research and development of new plastic materials, printing, lamination, slitting, bag-making, and related R&D. The company’s production base is located in the Jiaobei Industrial Park, Jiaozhou City, Qingdao, while its business operations and R&D center are situated in the Shinan District of Qingdao. With many years of experience, the company produces high‑quality plastic flexible packaging materials and comprehensive packaging solutions. Its main product lines include: laminated plastic packaging bags, color‑printed packaging bags, food‑grade packaging bags, vacuum‑sealed bags, retort pouches, low‑temperature frozen‑food bags, cat litter bags, and rolls of automatic packaging films for food and medical applications; as well as transfer printing films, warning tapes, flag‑type tapes, bird‑deterrent tapes, and cable ties for air conditioners, among others.

  In fact, product damage in winter is rarely due to the material itself; rather, it’s closely linked to temperature. Variations in flexibility can lead to cracking or tearing during use. When using plastic flexible packaging in cold weather, be sure to maintain an appropriate ambient temperature throughout handling and application. Avoid excessive stretching, and do not store the packaging for extended periods in low‑temperature environments. During transportation, prevent undue compression. If these precautions still fail to prevent issues, you may need to consider switching to raw materials specifically formulated for seasonal conditions when producing the plastic flexible packaging.

  Finally, it is best to store plastic packaging bags at a temperature of approximately 20–30°C. Under these conditions, the material’s properties remain stable, allowing for longer storage.

  That concludes today’s presentation. For more information, please visit our official website.
