Rutan Poly manufactures food-safe poly bags, films, liners, and sheeting for companies that process, package, or distribute food and beverage products. Everything is made in New Jersey, so you get consistent quality, quick turnaround, and full control over materials and sizing. We’re not a reseller — we manufacture everything ourselves.
Packaging That Fits Real Food Operations
Our FDA-Approved Plastic Bags are made with materials suitable for direct and indirect food contact. These bags are used across frozen foods, produce, baked goods, dry ingredients, and more.
We make every order to your spec — width, length, gauge, venting, clarity, slip levels, and anything else your process needs. Whether you’re running automated equipment or packing by hand, we can build the right structure.
We also offer blends that perform well in colder environments or high-moisture processing rooms, along with clarity and strength options when products need to look clean on display or withstand heavier handling.

Ready to Talk?
If you’re reviewing packaging for a new product, replacing a current material, or tightening up your specs, please tell us what you’re running and what the packaging needs to handle.
Things like product weight, clarity needs, venting, gauge, line requirements, or any issues you’re trying to fix.
We’ll review the application and tell you what makes sense, rather than pushing something that doesn’t. When you’re ready, reach out through the contact form, and we’ll take it from there.
