If you’ve been asking yourself, “Where can I order custom polyethylene packaging for my business?” You can order custom polyethylene packaging straight from a manufacturer like Zohar Plast, based in Montreal, Quebec. We make custom polyethylene bags, liners, covers, film, sheeting, tubing and shrink packaging for businesses across Canada and the United States. You send us your specs, we quote, you approve, we produce.
That’s the quick version. If you’re still deciding where to buy, here’s the longer one.
Three places people usually look
Packaging distributors. Good if you need a small quantity of a standard size fast. The downside is that you’re choosing from what’s in stock, and if you need a particular width or thickness, you’re usually out of luck.
Online marketplaces. Fine for a one-off box of bags. Not great when you need the same bag, in the same gauge, month after month. Quality can shift from one seller to the next.
A manufacturer. This is where “custom” actually means custom. The people quoting you are the same people running the extruders, so a question about resin or gauge gets answered by someone who knows. It’s also usually where the price per unit gets better as volume grows.
If your packaging has to fit a specific product, container or machine, going direct almost always saves you trouble later.
What to know before you ask for a quote
You’ll get a faster, more accurate quote if you can answer these:
- What are you packing? (Product type, and whether it touches food)
- What size do you need? (Width, length, and gusset if there is one)
- How thick? If you don’t know the gauge, tell us what the bag has to survive: weight, sharp edges, moisture, outdoor storage.
- Flat or gusseted, clear or tinted, plain or printed?
- Roughly how much per order, and how often?
Don’t worry if you can’t answer everything. Sending us a sample of what you use now works surprisingly well.

What you can customize
Almost everything that matters: dimensions, gauge, resin type, format (flat or gusseted), and the product itself. Our range covers polyethylene bags, box and gaylord liners, pallet covers, extruded film, sheeting, tubing, shrink packaging and heavy-duty waste bags. Food businesses can also ask for food-grade packaging made from FDA-approved raw materials.
Mistakes we see all the time
Ordering by thickness alone is the big one. A thicker bag isn’t always a stronger one, because the resin matters as much as the gauge. The second is skipping a sample run when the packaging is going onto an automated line. Ten minutes of testing beats a thousand ruined bags.
