With environmental rules getting tighter and more shoppers asking for greener packaging, transparent, compostable, and food-safe packaging materials are drawing more interest from companies around the world.
YiTo Pack makes cellophane bags as a fresh take on sustainable packaging. These bags are clear, compostable, heat-resistant, and easy to print on—so they work well for food, flowers, fresh produce, greeting cards, clothing, cosmetics, and plenty of other items.
Plastic-Free and Made Without Petroleum-Based Materials
YITO Pack cellophane film is made from natural cellulose derived from renewable wood pulp sourced from sustainably managed forests. It is non-toxic and can biodegrade under suitable conditions.
Key features:
Made without petroleum-based plastic
Suitable for home or industrial composting when using the appropriate certified material grade
Compliant grades available according to EN 13432 and ASTM D6400
Suitable for direct food contact
High transparency for excellent product visibility
How Do Compostable Cellophane Bags Break Down?
Home composting: Under suitable home-composting conditions, microorganisms gradually break down the material into water, carbon dioxide and biomass without leaving conventional plastic residue.
Industrial composting: In industrial composting facilities, controlled temperatures of approximately 55–65°C, together with moisture and microbial activity, can accelerate the decomposition process.
The wood-pulp raw material is sourced from FSC-certified, sustainably managed forests, supporting responsible forestry and forest ecosystem protection.
Cellophane film offers excellent transparency, allowing customers to clearly see the bread, vegetables, fruit or other products inside. This combines attractive product presentation with a more sustainable packaging choice.
Transparent, Heat-Resistant and Printable: Key Performance Comparable to or Better Than Traditional Plastic
Where Can Cellophane Bags Replace Conventional Plastic Packaging?
Traditional transparent packaging commonly uses the following materials:
|
Packaging Material |
Petroleum-Based |
Biodegradable or Compostable |
Recycling Difficulty |
Main Concern |
| OPP bags | Yes | ✘ | Relatively high | Increasingly affected by plastic-reduction policies |
| CPP bags | Yes | ✘ | Relatively high | Not compostable |
| PE bags | Yes | ✘ | Relatively high | May contribute to plastic pollution |
| PET bags | Yes | ✘ | Relatively high | Extremely slow degradation in the environment |
| PVC bags | Yes | ✘ | Relatively high | Restricted in certain regions and applications |
| Cellophane bags | No | ✔ | Can compost under specified conditions | Supports sustainable packaging goals |

Performance Indicator |
Traditional PE/OPP Plastic Bags |
YiTo Pack Cellophane Bags |
Key Benefit |
| Tensile strength | Performance depends on thickness; thin films may tear easily | High tensile strength with balanced machine-direction and transverse-direction performance | Stronger than many ordinary thin plastic bags |
| Heat-sealing performance | May wrinkle or develop weak seals if sealing conditions are unsuitable | Can be heat-sealed at approximately 115–120°C and remains dimensionally stable at higher temperatures, depending on the grade | Smooth sealing and easier processing |
| Heat resistance | Ordinary PE may soften or deform at elevated temperatures | Can withstand temperatures up to approximately 130°C, depending on the material grade and application | Better heat resistance than ordinary PE |
| Static performance | May attract dust and make bag opening difficult | Lower static build-up, reduced dust attraction and smoother machine operation | Helps reduce static-related packaging issues |
| Printability | May require corona treatment to improve ink adhesion | High surface energy and good ink adhesion, supporting rich and clear printing | Enhances product presentation and brand image |
Performance parameters may vary according to material grade, thickness, coating, printing method and processing conditions. Application testing is recommended before mass production.
