Poly bags provide numerous advantages over other packaging options, including:

  • Durability: Strong and long-lasting, poly bags offer excellent protection for products during shipping and storage.
  • Water Resistance: These bags are resistant to moisture, making them ideal for items that need to stay dry.
  • Transparency: Many poly bags are clear, allowing customers to easily view the contents inside without needing to open the package.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Poly bags are a budget-friendly packaging option, providing high performance at a low price.

Applications for Poly Bags

Poly bags are versatile and used across a range of industries, including:

  • Food and Beverage: Perfect for packaging items like bread, produce, snacks, and other perishable goods.

  • Industrial: Ideal for hardware, machine parts, medical supplies, and other industrial goods.

Material Specifications

  • Types of Polyethylene:

    • LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene): Offers flexibility and softness, suitable for lightweight packaging. It’s commonly used in food packaging due to its moisture resistance.
    • HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): More rigid and durable, perfect for industrial applications that require puncture resistance.
    • Linear LDPE: Combines strength with flexibility, ideal for heavy-duty uses.

  • Thickness & Durability:

    • Poly bags come in various thicknesses, measured in mils:
      • 1-2 mils: Suitable for lightweight items like clothing.
      • 3-4 mils: For medium-duty uses such as retail packaging.
      • 6+ mils: Best for heavy-duty, industrial items like machine parts.
    • Thicker bags offer higher puncture and tear resistance, making them ideal for protecting heavier or more fragile products.

  • FDA Compliance:

    • Poly bags intended for food contact must meet FDA standards, ensuring they are made from virgin resins to avoid contamination. 

  • Chemical and Environmental Resistance:

    • These bags resist chemicals, moisture, and dust, making them perfect for packaging sensitive products like electronics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial materials.

  • Sustainability:

    • Offer biodegradable or recyclable poly bag options for eco-conscious customers. Mention your commitment to reducing environmental impact by providing green alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a Poly Bag? What Does Poly Bag Mean?

In the world of packaging, the term “poly bag” almost always refers to a plastic bag made from low density polyethylene. With the advancement of raw materials engineering, this includes linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and can also be used to describe bags made from high density polyethylene (HDPE), medium density polyethylene (MDPE) or all of the above. What Does Poly Liner Mean? Also known as Poly Liner Bags, Poly Liners are made with the same materials as Poly Bags described above. The word liner is just the descriptive use for essentially the same product. Flat Poly Bags (Poly Liners) are exceptional for lining circular spaces for example office trash cans. Where as a Gusseted Poly Bag (Gusseted Poly Liner) would be used to line a box or rectangular package.


What are the thermal properties of polyethylene?

HDPE Melting point in the 120 - 180 C range (248 - 356 F)

Softening Point: 120ºC (266ºF)

Recommended Use Temp for HDPE:<100ºC (212ºF)

LDPE and LLDPE Melting point in the 105 - 115 C range (221 - 239 F)

Softening point: 95ºC (203Fº)

Recommended Use Temp for LDPE: < 80ºC (176ºF)


What are the electrical properties of polyethylene?

Polyethylene is a good electrical insulator however without an additive it can become easily electrostatically charged.


What are the optical properties of polyethylene?

Depending on the density and the gauge PE can vary between almost transparent and a milky opaque or translucent. LDPE being the clearest followed by LLDPE being slightly less clear and HDPE being the least transparent of all. If you are looking for a high clarity material that would be polypropylene.


How should plastic bags be disposed of?

Plastic bags are recyclable and should be dropped off at the nearest recycling facility to you. Many locations around the U.S. offer curbside drop off for recycling. Please note that only certain locations accept flexible packaging as this requires a slightly different process than hard plastics

Usage Applications

Food Packaging:
Poly bags are widely used in the food industry for packaging fresh produce, baked goods, and frozen products. FDA-compliant bags ensure food safety, while heat-sealable options help preserve freshness and extend shelf life.

Industrial & Manufacturing:
Durable poly bags safeguard parts, hardware, and raw materials from moisture, dust, and contaminants. Thicker HDPE bags are ideal for heavy-duty applications, offering superior resistance to tears and punctures, ensuring reliable protection for industrial goods.

Healthcare & Pharmaceutical:
In healthcare settings, sterile-grade poly bags are essential for storing medical instruments and pharmaceuticals. These bags provide a contaminant-free environment and can be securely sealed to maintain sterility, ensuring the safety of critical healthcare supplies.

Retail & Shipping:
Poly bags offer lightweight, cost-effective packaging solutions for retail items such as apparel, accessories, and small goods. Custom options like printed logos, tamper-evident seals, and resealable closures are particularly popular among eCommerce retailers.

E-Commerce:
Designed to reduce shipping costs while protecting items during transit, poly bags are a go-to for eCommerce businesses. Features like tamper-evident seals and easy-to-use tear strips enhance security and the unboxing experience for customers, ensuring products arrive safely.
