The primary advantage of using twist tie ribbon is that the end user can easily open the bag without destroying it and reseal it to store the product and, in the case of food, keep it fresh. At Packaging Tools, we carry paper/plastic, plastic/plastic, decorative metallic, and twist ties with no metal for use in both semi-automatic and fully automated machines. With a wide variety of colors, sizes, and styles available, you can find the right option for your products’ specific needs and requirements.

Paper/plastic twist ties have both a paper and plastic layer, are compatible with the majority of twist tie machines, and are commonly used in retail, grocery stores, and dry cleaning operations.

Plastic/plastic twist ties are high strength, can be used with most twist tie machines, and are the preferred type for the food industry, because they provide tight closures and are more durable than paper options.

Paper/paper twist ties are your best option if you’re prioritizing biodegradability, as this type of twist tie ribbon will decompose into the soil. They are ideal for tomato trellises and other plant support systems.

Polycore twist ties are an exclusive Tach-It product offered by Packaging Tools. They are 100% metal free, fully recyclable, work with all of our twist tie machines, and are a great choice for the food industry, because they can be microwaved and there is no chance of metal contamination.
