Packaging for Winnipeg businesses
Winnipeg banned plastic shopping bags from January 1, 2021, and federal rules restrict several single-use plastics, so retailers here use paper or reusable bags and paper-based food packaging.
Winnipeg's Exchange District and The Forks market host independent shops and food vendors, and the city has a strong aerospace and bus manufacturing base. Long winters make heated storage important for paper-based packaging.
Food processing and agriculture
Food processors and grain and seed companies need retail cartons, seed packaging and shipping boxes.
Logistics and distribution
Distributors need corrugated cartons and wholesale boxes.
Retail and food service
Shops and restaurants need branded paper bags and takeout packaging.
