Types of Polyethylene Bags

POLYETHYLENE BAGS:

These are the most common plastic bags. The polyethylene bags we stock are made from virgin materials, so they comply with FDA requirements for use in food applications. A wide selection of sizes and gauges are available to meet virtually any need you might have.

Available in the following bag styles:

 

HIGH DENSITY:

High molecular weight, high density film makes these bags strong and durable. Ideal for shopping bags. Several of these bags are packaged in a low cube dispenser carton that is easy to use at the retail counter and stores easily on shelves. Meet FDA requirements for food use.

Available in the following bag styles:

  • Merchandise Bags
  • Utility Bags on Rolls
  • T-Shirt Bags

 

POLYPROPYLENE BAGS:

Polypropylene bags have long been the premier choice for outstanding product presentation and to preserve freshness. Excellent clarity, vapor and moisture barrier properties. Meet FDA requirements for food use.

Available in the following bag styles:

  • Flat
  • Gusseted
  • Seal Top
  • Drawstring

 

STATIC CONTROL BAGS

PINK ANTI-STATIC: Pink Anti-Static bags are an excellent choice when static control is necessary, but Faraday Cage Protection is NOT required. They effectively eliminate the hazard of static damage to sensitive electronic components during packaging, storage and shipping.

Available in the following bag styles:

Flat • Seal Top • Tubing

 

POLYETHYLENE GUSSET BAGS

LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene) bags provide extra strength and impact resistance that allows a lighter gouge bog to do the same job as a heavier gouge LDPE bag LOPE (Low Density Polyethylene) provides excellent protection for everyday use at a great price

  • Mode from seamless tubing and ore bottom sealed for extra strength, with no slits or side seal
  • Bogs 15" wide and under come in dispenser pocks of l 00 for cleanliness and convenience
  • Meet FDA requirements for use in food applications
  • Any size not listed can be custom made to your specifications

 

POLYETHYLENE FLAT BAGS

LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene) bags provide extra strength and impact resistance that allows a lighter gauge bag to do the same job as a heavier gauge LOPE bag. LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) provides excellent protection for everyday use at a great price

  • Made from seamless tubing and are bottom sealed for extra strength, with no slits or side seals
  • Meet FDA requirements for use in food applications

 

Poly Bag Dimensions

The first dimension stated when describing a poly bag is the width. All bag measurements are inside diameter (ID).

Types of Materials & Additives

LOW DENSITY

  • Virgin low density polyethylene complies with FDA and USDA requirements for use with food.
  • Fractional Melt improves strength in cold temperatures.

Poly sheeting for construction applications

Image
The construction industry uses poly sheeting. Poly sheeting for the construction industry   provides a temporary support of existing structures and the soil their on. The polyethylene material stands up to the elements and pressures during construction. Their biggest advantages to working in the construction industry is that they're water-proof, rot-proof, and resistant to chemicals. Poly sheeting can be used for construction, landscaping, masonry and more. Poly sheets are highly durable, have high strength, and are tear resistant. Plastic sheeting is useful for industrial applications, protection against the elements on construction sites, moisture and gas barriers and many other innovative uses. Poly sheeting for construction benefits: Construction enclosures Erosion control Shipping and packaging Insulation membranes We offer many poly sheeting packaging supplies in different mil thicknesses: 1 mil ,  1.5 mil ,  2 mil ,  3 mil ,  4 mil ,  6 mil ,  8 mil ,  10 mil

Coffee Pods - a Sustainable Solution or Fleeting Fad?

Image
  Whether you use them or not, single-use coffee pods have taken the world by storm... and with quite a large amount of controversy. So what made a luxury coffee producer choose aluminum for their coffee pods?   Luxury coffee producer Nespresso chose to use aluminum to create their pre-portioned capsules because it offered the best protection from oxidation, preserved coffee freshness, and prevented food waste through leftovers. (According to the Sustainability Manager at Nespresso, the kitchen sink is the largest source of consumption of coffee made by standard drip pots.) Now, we know individual coffee pods can be controversial, even to the point of attempted ban in the US and Europe, and creating aluminum is no easy process either. So why did Nespresso choose Aluminum where Keurig chose plastic?   In 2009, Nespresso decided to source sustainable aluminum with the help of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. By 2015, Nespresso has 14 non-government organizations

Plastic Strapping Buckles

Image
Plastic and Wire Buckles The work volume, production speed required, and required strength deter­mines closure method. For low volume, low tension applications, buckles are a good method of joining plastic strapping. This is particularly true if portability and cost are major issues. One can easily hand tension the strap, with or without the use of a hand pull or crank tensioner, and apply the buckle without the need of a power source. The metal buckles are stronger than the plastic ones and can withstand greater tensioning. Plastic buck­les are used on lighter weight loads, espe­cially in agriculture, as they can be easily hand applied in the field without the need for tools. Always Use: Phosphate finished buckles on bonded and all woven cord strapping. Galvanized finished buckles are required for composite cord strapping Bright finished buckles are for polypropylene strapping.   Read more on the other types of plastic strap closures and check out our selection of buckles
