Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat does 1.25 mil mean on a poly bag?A mil is one thousandth of an inch, so a 1.25 mil poly bag is 0.00125 inches thick. That gauge is a light-duty film: strong enough for soft, non-sharp contents like baked goods, apparel and small parts, while costing less per bag than 2 mil or 4 mil film. Are 1.25 mil lay flat poly bags food safe?Yes. These bags are made from 100% virgin low density polyethylene (LDPE) resin that meets FDA and USDA specifications for direct food contact, so they can be used for cookies, candy, bread, produce and other unwrapped foods. What is the difference between 1.25 mil and 2 mil lay flat poly bags?The 1.25 mil bag is thinner and less expensive per bag, and is the right choice for lightweight, smooth-edged products. A 2 mil lay flat poly bag is 60% thicker, giving more puncture and tear resistance for heavier items, hardware, or anything with corners or edges. Can you freeze food in 1.25 mil lay flat poly bags?Yes. LDPE stays flexible at freezer temperatures and will not crack, so these bags can go in the freezer. Heat seal the bag rather than using a twist tie for long-term frozen storage, since a sealed bag blocks moisture loss and freezer burn. What is the difference between lay flat and gusseted poly bags?Lay flat bags are two flat panels sealed on three sides with no expansion, which suits flat or thin products. Gusseted bags add folded side or bottom panels that open out to hold bulky, three-dimensional items such as loaves, pans, or boxed goods. Who uses 1.25 mil lay flat poly bags?Bakeries, candy makers, produce packers and delis use them for food packaging; retailers and e-commerce sellers use them for apparel, gifts and accessories; and manufacturers and shops use them for parts, hardware, samples and kitting. Any operation packaging light, non-sharp items in volume is a fit.
