Charcoal & BBQ Packaging Bags
Charcoal and briquette bags are retail products. They sit on a shelf, they are picked up by the handle, they are opened and resealed, and they have to look right on a supermarket shelf next to an international brand. They also have to keep dust in and stop the product absorbing moisture.

How we approach charcoal bags
For lump charcoal we normally specify a laminated woven bag with a PE or kraft liner, since charcoal fines will sift through an unlaminated weave and stain a pallet. For briquettes and shisha, a BOPP laminated bag with a block bottom and up to 8 colours is the standard construction, because the shelf face is doing the selling. Handles and easy-open or resealable features are common options on this type of pack.
What to consider before you order
- Charcoal fines sift through plain weave — laminate it or add a liner.
- Shelf presence drives sales in this category: do not economise on the print.
- A carry handle and an easy-open feature matter to the end customer.
- Moisture absorption affects lighting performance; a PE liner helps.
- Heavy 10kg and 15kg packs need a tested handle and seam strength.

FAQ
Why do my current charcoal bags leave dust on the pallet?
Because the fabric is not closed. Plain woven fabric is a mesh and fine charcoal dust passes through it. The fix is inside lamination, an outer BOPP lamination, or a PE liner — any of which closes the weave. Most customers choose BOPP lamination because they also want the print quality for retail.
Can you print photographic artwork on a charcoal bag?
Yes, on BOPP laminated bags printed by rotogravure in up to 8 colours. Photographic images and fine text hold well on that surface. On plain woven fabric the same artwork would lose most of its detail, so we will advise you against it if the design depends on detail.
