Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat does 2 mil mean on a poly bag?2 mil means the bag film is 0.002 inches thick, or about 50 microns. It is a light-to-medium duty gauge that holds up better than 1 mil and 1.5 mil bags for food, retail, and light industrial packaging, while costing less per bag than 3 mil. Are 2 mil gusseted poly bags food safe?Yes. All of our 2 mil gusseted poly bags are made from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) resin that meets FDA and USDA specifications for direct food contact, with no recycled content. What sizes do 2 mil gusseted poly bags come in?We stock gusseted poly bags from 4" x 2" x 8" up to 24" x 10" x 36". Gusseted bag sizes are listed as width x gusset depth x length, so a 4" x 2" x 8" bag opens to a 4" wide by 2" deep base. Browse the sizes above to match your product. How do you seal a gusseted poly bag?You can heat seal a gusseted poly bag with an impulse sealer, or close it with a twist tie, staple, or adhesive tape. Heat sealing gives the most tamper-evident closure. See our bag sealers and packaging tools for recommended equipment. What is the difference between 2 mil and 3 mil gusseted poly bags?2 mil bags are thinner and more economical for lightweight products and food packaging, while 3 mil bags add puncture resistance for heavier or sharp-edged items.
