Cellophane Bags and the Myths: Clearing Up the Confusion for a Greener 2025
In 2025, as we continue to focus on protecting our environment, it's crucial to understand the materials we use for packaging. Over the years, we've covered many aspects of cellophane bags, but there’s still confusion around them. Often, plastic bags are incorrectly labeled as cellophane, which is the first myth we want to clear up.
To help you make informed, eco-conscious choices, let's debunk some common myths surrounding cellophane bags. Our cellophane bags are:
- BPA-free
- Australian-made
- High-quality food-grade cellophane
- Anti-static film
- Biodegradable base film
- Heat-sealable on both sides
- Excellent barrier to water vapour, gases, and aromas
- Resistant to oils and greases
- Both sides receptive to inks, adhesives, and tear tapes
While clear, cellophane can often have a slight yellowish tint and may sound crunchy or have a crumpled look. Made from cellulose, a plant-based material, cellophane is not only environmentally friendly but also provides superior food protection.
To distinguish real cellophane from plastic, a simple test involves burning it. Cellophane, being plant-based, will burn like paper and leave ash, while plastic will shrink and burn differently.
Cellophane is often compared with BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene), which is thicker, clearer, and has a longer shelf life for food. However, BOPP is plastic, not cellophane, and isn’t as environmentally friendly.
