Overview

What This Product Is

Tea bag material is chosen by machine and format as much as by look: heat-seal flat bags run on thin, fast-infusing papers; dual-seal and pyramid formats need mesh with real tensile strength and a transparent window; premium compostable lines specify PLA. We supply all three families from mills experienced in food-contact export orders.

Because packing machines are unforgiving, we treat machine compatibility as part of the specification: tell us the machine type and sealing method, and we will match the material and width accordingly, with a written specification and food-contact documentation supplied with every shipment.

FAQ

Common Questions

Heat-seal or dual-seal — which material do I need?

It follows your machine's sealing system. Tell us the machine model and format; we will match the material family and width rather than leave you to decode the grades.

Is PLA mesh really compostable?

PLA is a plant-based polymer; its compostability claims are supported by the mill's documentation, which we pass on with the shipment so your own labelling stays accurate.

What documentation comes with a food-contact order?

A written declaration of compliance naming the grade, plus test reports where applicable — the same checklist we recommend in our food-grade buying guide.
