Bags

Packaging bags are available for product protection, organization, retail presentation, food service, shipping, healthcare, agriculture, and industrial handling. Major categories include poly bags, reclosable plastic bags, paper and plastic shopping bags, mailing bags, vinyl bags, garment bags, medical bags, drawstring pouches, and FIBC bulk bags.

Start with the product’s dimensions, weight, shape, and sensitivity to handling or storage conditions. Then consider how the bag will be filled, whether customers or employees need repeated access, how the bag should close, and whether product visibility or retail presentation matters.

Measure the product at its widest, longest, and deepest points after arranging it as it will sit inside the bag. Allow additional space for inserting the product and closing the bag. Bulky or irregular products may require a gusset or additional width to prevent an overly tight fit.

Consider the product’s weight, edges, handling frequency, and storage conditions. Lightweight products may need less material thickness, while heavier items, components with sharper edges, or products handled repeatedly may require a thicker and more durable bag. Always review the specifications of the individual product before ordering.

The right closure depends on your workflow and how the package will be used. Open-end bags support fast filling, reclosable bags provide repeated access, adhesive closures simplify sealing, drawstrings support carrying and organization, and heat-sealable bags create a more permanent closure when used with compatible equipment.

Clear bags make it easier to identify products, inspect contents, and display merchandise. Opaque or colored bags can conceal contents, support presentation goals, or help distinguish products and departments. The best choice depends on visibility, privacy, organization, and branding requirements.

No. Food-contact, medical, laboratory, and other controlled applications may require specific materials, manufacturing conditions, labeling, or performance characteristics. Confirm the specifications and intended use of the individual bag rather than assuming every product is suitable for a regulated application.
