Seeds
Durable, high-performance sacks for protecting, storing and transporting the elements that generate the harvests of the future.
The seed industry
What is really needed
The seed industry requires extremely durable sacks that keep the contents safe from external factors such as dust and light. The ideal sack for seeds is 3-ply (in fact seeds, which have jagged ends, can tend to pierce the pack), treated on the exterior with the Moistshield finish, an alcohol-based varnish applied to the plies in the pre-printing phase, conferring hydrophobic properties to the paper: the water is not absorbed by the paper, but glides off it due to the surface tension present on the treated paper (the so-called “lotus effect”). In this way, the seeds only come into contact with water when they have been planted in the earth.
What Fiorini Packaging proposes
Our approach
Besides choosing from the wide range of sacks in our standard range, we can also work with you to develop the most suitable solution to meet your specific requirements. Our engineering department adopts a problem-solving approach: technology and innovation are not abstract concepts, but instead tools used every day by our team to solve problems linked to production, packaging, and the supply chain.
More often than you might think, a customised solution can be much more convenient than standard choices.
But that’s not all. We will help you design your production line based on your actual needs and possibilities, based on the type of equipment you have available, with a view to optimising the entire production process and increasing profits, so that the improvements made in the production area have a direct, positive effect on your sales.

The high technology that ensures the best performances
Hi-Tech
Add the most suitable treatment
Airshield: the open-mouth sack, completely sealed
With Airshield we can offer packaging in the form of an open mouth sack that can be completely sealed; available with easy-open system on the base. By using this packaging, you will have:
- 100% sealed product;
- no external contamination of the product;
- extended product shelf life;
- possibility of separating the paper part from the plastic part to ensure optimum recycling of materials.
Dustshield: protection from dust, zero contamination
Available with an easy open system on the base. By using this packaging, you will have:
- 100% sealed product;
- no external contamination of the product;
- extended product shelf life;
- possibility of separating the paper part from the plastic part to ensure optimum recycling of materials.
Moistshield: water glides away, the paper remains eco-friendly
Moist Shield is a special treatment used on standard packaging, which confers HYDROPHOBIC properties to the paper. In this way, water is not absorbed by the paper, but glides off it due to the high surface tension of the processed paper (the so-called lotus effect).
This treatment offers two advantages:
- a superior barrier effect compared to that of normal paper, therefore an extended shelf life for the product inside;
- even after treatment, the sack remains eco-friendly and recyclable, as the coating used is environmentally sound.
