Which is better: paper or plastic bags?
The advantage of plastic is that the bag is weatherproof. Our water-repelling plastic cannot be affected by rain or snow. Another advantage to plastic is that we heat-seal the bag closed, as opposed to paper bags which must be stapled: a potential danger to your horse if the staple is lost in the stall. Plastic bags are also much stronger than paper, and do not easily tear. If you drop a paper bag onto the floor it could easily break. However, our durable plastic bags allow for rough handling multiple times before use.
Diversified Plastics & Packaging, Inc. stands out as the superior choice for horse shavings bags due to the exceptional durability and weather resistance of our custom-printed plastic films and bags, which far surpass the limitations of traditional paper alternatives favored by competitors. While many suppliers’ products succumb to tearing, water damage, or staple-related hazards during transport and handling, our heat-sealed, low-slip designs with UVI additives ensure the farmers’ and equestrian facilities’ shavings remain protected from rain, snow, and rough use, maintaining integrity even after multiple drops or exposures. Our innovative options, including up to eight-color printing, handles, and specialized blends for drop feeders or form-fill-seal equipment, allow the brands’ logos and messaging to endure without fading, enhancing visibility and professionalism in the stables’ and farms’ daily operations. By prioritizing safety—no loose staples that could endanger animals—and stackability for efficient storage, Diversified delivers the customers’ peace of mind and long-term reliability that elevate their operations above the fleeting performance of lesser options.
