Fairview Mills understands that it is often less expensive to store and transport pet food or pet food ingredients in bags as opposed to loose, bulk products. Fairview Mills is one the many J-Six Enterprises divisions. We have the infrastructure to handle your bulk, loose pet food ingredients, and then bag them to your specifications. It is much easier to transport your products from raw product to ready to use pet food. For example, send us whole corn. We will unload it and mill it. Then, we'll package it in the way you want. The next step in pet food processing is now that your raw corn has been processed.
THE FAIRVIEW MILLS TREATMENT
If you plan to pack your pet food ingredients into bags and totes you need to make sure they are quality-controlled. To ensure that your pet food ingredients are properly packaged, we run each product through our analytics laboratory to check for moisture, nutrients, and other metrics. Next, we vigorously sift your ingredients to get rid of as much dust and chaff. This process will improve the quality of pet food ingredients and ensure that your fifty-pound bag is completely filled with your product, not with chaff or dust. It will make it easier to track inventory accurately when you know that a 50-pound bag of corn Gluten is actually fifty pounds.

The twenty-five kg bag is our smallest bag for pet food ingredient packaging. Fairview Mills, a division J-Six Enterprises', offers pet food ingredient packaging. It is designed for easy transport and storage, but not as final product packaging. Many clients choose our super sacks, bags and totes with larger capacities. Fairview Mills will still find solutions for each customer. Therefore, we can handle smaller quantities of your contract packaging. These bags come in a range of different construction materials and sealing methods. Multi-wall papers bags are an eco-friendly choice. They can be closed by pinching or sewing. Many polyethylene and polypropylene bags can be purchased with heat or sewn sealing.
50 Pound Bag - Perfect For Pallets
For clients who require stackable bags, fifty-pound bags are an excellent choice. They can be stored individually or in palleted stacks. You can choose from a variety of materials and sealing methods to make these bags. Multi-wall papers bags are an ecofriendly alternative. They can be closed by pinching or sewing. Available in sewn or heat seal, there are many polyethylene bags and other polypropylene options. These 50 pound bags can be used as ingredient packaging and not final product packaging. The pet food ingredient packaging can be used for transport and storage.
1000 Pound Tote - Poly Lining!
It is helpful to have totes that can easily hold large quantities of pet food and ingredients. The one-thousand pound totes are ideal for transporting large quantities of pet food ingredients. These sturdy totes are made of poly-lined material for durability and strength. The exterior fabric's weave will not allow for even the smallest of pet food ingredients to be lost due to the poly lining. These large totes have a large capacity and are intended for easy transportation and storage. Before we fill these large bags of one thousand pounds with your quality products, our sifting process will run your pet foods ingredients through.
2000 Pound Supersack - The largest pet food ingredient bulk storage container
The super sack bulk bag is one of the most sought-after options for contract packaging. Super sacks can carry a full ton pet food and pet ingredient ingredients. They provide toughness and durability, while also reducing packaging costs per pound. Super sacks can be stored either on their own or on top of pallets. Because of their box-corner design, super sacks can be stackable on top of one another. Before filling these two-and-a-half thousand pound bags with quality products, we run pet food ingredients through our sifting machine.
