Select what works best for all your shipping and packaging applications.
1 MIL - Economical short term storage.
1.5 MIL - Lightweight protection from dirt and moisture.
2 MIL - Protection for shipping and storage. Most popular thickness.
3 MIL - Additional protection for hardware, nuts, bolts and industrial parts.
4 MIL - heavy duty protection when packaging nails, screws, heavy sheet metal parts, etc.
6 MIL - Extra heavy duty protection against punctures and tears on bulky items or items with sharp corners.

 
These bags are cut individually from seamless tubing and are sealed at the bottom of both flat and gusset bags. This is the strongest seal available and is suggested for bags with heavy-duty uses.

 
These are side-welded bags with two holes in the lip fixed to a metal wicket. They are used with automatic and semi-automatic bag openers or in manual operations.

 
These bags are made from folded polyethylene sheeting, sealed on each side. This seal (or weld) can be used on flat and gusset bags and is suggested for retail uses.

 
Seal Top reclosable bags can be made with or without a tamper evident seal. The use of these bags is preferred when there is the need for multiple entries or repackaging of the bag.

 
These bags are made on a continuous roll of seamless tubing perforated at specified intervals for ease in tearing the bag off the roll. The “top” opening can be above or below the perforation. This storage configuration takes minimum storage space and is routinely used for bin liners, pallet covers and very long bags. Pre-opened bags are suitable for automated bag-filling machines.

 
These bags are side-welded with a continuous seal along the top width, 2”- 3” below the fold. The bags are loaded and sealed from the bottom. Reinforced headers are available.

 
For these bags, polyethylene sheeting is folded and sealed along the backside of the bag to form a tube. The bags are cut and bottom-sealed and are the required type of bag for wrap-around printing.

 
These are side-welded bags with a fold over lip.
 
These are side welded bags with a perforated top lip stapled to a header card. They are used with semi-automatic bag opening machinery or in manual operations. They are packed with 100 bags per header card.
 
These are sealed in separate pockets along their length for the purpose of multiple unit packaging within a single bag.
 
Sheeting is used for wrapping, lining and dividing layers.
 
These are side-welded, staple packed bags with a perforated lip and hole just below the top of the bag.
