5/20/25

At Fruth Custom Packaging, we’ve expanded our operations to meet the growing demand for biohazard and autoclave bags. Designed for use in healthcare, medical research, pharmaceuticals, and the biotechnology industry, our autoclave bags include sterilization bags for medical instruments, specimen bags for safe sample transport, and biohazard bags for the proper disposal of infectious waste.

We engineer our autoclave bags for exceptional impact and puncture resistance, ensuring they meet the world’s most rigorous sterilization and decontamination standards. Our products comply with ASTM tear resistance, impact resistance, and dart drop tests, and are compatible with high vacuum steam, ETO gas, gamma, and chemical sterilization methods. All of our bags meet USP 〈1211〉 Sterilization Assurance specifications and are fully compliant with EPA regulations, as well as WHO, CDC, and various state health and safety codes.

Proudly manufactured in the U.S. using 100% domestically sourced resin, our autoclave bags are supported by some of the fastest lead times in the industry. We also offer customizable features like temperature indicator strips to enhance safety and compliance.

Thanks to our extensive customization capabilities, we can tailor our autoclave bags to meet the specific needs of each application. Available in a wide variety of sizes and material gauges, our bags can be configured with gussets, resealable closures, antistatic properties, temperature indicators, barcoding, and custom printing.

As our General Manager Jaime Read put it, “Our expansion reflects Fruth’s ongoing commitment to delivering U.S.-made sterilization packaging to the medical and life sciences sectors. This expansion allows us to continue providing industry-best lead times and customization options.”
