Super Poly

What Super Poly does

Super Poly Ltd. is a family-run Canadian plastic packaging manufacturer founded in 1986 and headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta. The company produces a diversified portfolio of industrial and commercial packaging products organized into four categories: Industrial and Janitorial (garbage bags, clear tubing, parts bags); SP Flexible Packaging (stand-up pouches, form-and-fill rollstock, vacuum pouches, flat bottom pouches, quad seal pouches); Agricultural and Heavy Industrial (polywoven bags, BOPP bags, mini totes/FIBCs, multi-wall paper bags, paper poly kraft bags, container liners and bulkheads); and Retail and Commercial (boutique bags, T-shirt bags, reclosable poly bags, pound bags, clear poly bags, clear roll bags, bread bags). The company operates a fully equipped manufacturing facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba, alongside sales and distribution offices in Vancouver (BC), Edmonton (AB), and Toronto/Trenton (ON), with a hybrid production model that combines local manufacturing in Winnipeg with offshore production managed through long-standing Asian supplier partnerships initiated in the 1990s and continuously funded with over US$2.5M in supplier upgrades and quality control.

The underlying manufacturing technology spans PP woven fabric weaving, multi-layer film lamination with controlled oxygen-transmission rates and moisture barriers, 10-colour rotogravure and 6-colour flexographic printing, BOPP reverse-transparent printing, and custom slitting/rewinding for form-fill-seal rollstock. CFIA- and FDA-approved materials enable food-grade applications, and the company markets sustainability-relevant outcomes including stand-up pouches that use approximately 70% less raw material and occupy 95% less space than alternatives. Super Poly sells directly to B2B customers through a sales-led go-to-market motion via toll-free phone, email, and walk-in orders at Edmonton and Winnipeg locations, with quote-based pricing, custom-printed SKUs carrying plate-making fees and minimum run quantities (e.g., 5,000 bags for custom stand-up pouches), and a stock product catalog for commodity buyers. Its customer base spans food and beverage processors, agricultural exporters (grains, seeds, pet food), grocery and convenience retailers, and industrial/janitorial buyers across Canada and the United States, distributed through its own four Canadian offices and partner network across North America.
