Reusable Freezer Bags
Zero Waste
Stop using those single use plastic freezer bags and take another giant stride down the road towards destination 'zero waste'. 👍
Our 'Flaxie Freeze' reusable freezer bags are made from the same PUL fabric as our range of Flaxie lunch bags. Certified food safe (EU & USA), BPA & PVC free, water resistant and machine/hand washable, these hardwearing bags are perfect for freezing fruit, vegetables, herbs, meat, bread....anything except liquids really!
The freezer bag closes with a double fold and snaps. Why snaps? We made and tested many prototypes in the process of creating the final version. We found that using a zip restricted the opening of the bag and food could get caught in the teeth of the zip when placing it in the bag. We tried Velcro. This worked better but...again...when food rubs against it, some could be trapped in the velcro. Not nice. Snaps allow a more flexible opening and provide a hygienic closure.
To provide a reliable, freezer proof closure, we use genuine 'KAM' brand snaps. These high quality snaps are made from polyacetal resin, a very strong, durable plastic and are BPA-free. KAM snaps have been tested for lead and phthalate content and are CPSIA-compliant for children's products.
Choose a colour for each food group and/or stick on a label for easy identification. You can also write directly on the bag with a pen - just be careful to use washable ink!

PUL...?
Polyurethane Laminate or "PUL" is a soft, flexible, hardwearing and waterproof fabric.
PUL is comprised of 2 layers: a polyester fabric (typically 1mm thick) with a very thin layer of polyurethane film bonded to the reverse. Polyester is preferred to cotton because it is difficult to have a really water-resistant product using cotton.
The polyester side can be printed with any design and will retain its stretchability even with the additional polyurethane layer. This makes for an extremely resilient fabric which will last for many years. It’s important to note that PUL remains supple and soft to the touch, unlike a cotton fabric backed with a separate plastic fabric or an ‘oil cloth type fabric’.
These characteristics make PUL the perfect fabric for our range of lunch bags and freezer bags.

Great for freezing because it takes up little space and allows easy storage in the freezer ...
