Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is a 2 mil gusseted poly bag on a roll?It is a clear low-density polyethylene (LDPE) bag 2 mil (0.002 inches) thick with expandable side gussets, supplied on a perforated roll wound on a 3" core with a 1" core plug. Each bag tears off at the perforation, and the bag is tubular with a bottom seal so it holds bulky contents without leaking. What is a gusset on a poly bag?A gusset is a folded side panel that expands when the bag is filled, letting a gusseted bag hold bulky or deep items that would not fit a flat bag of the same width. The bag lies flat when empty, so gusseted bags store and dispense as compactly as flat bags. Are 2 mil gusseted poly bags food safe?Yes. These bags are made from 100% virgin LDPE resin and meet FDA and USDA specifications for direct food contact, which is why they are used for bakery items, produce, and bulk foods. What does 2 mil thickness mean, and should I use 2 mil or a heavier bag?2 mil means the film is 0.002 inches thick, the general-purpose middle weight for gusseted roll bags. Choose 1 mil or 1.5 mil for light, smooth goods such as bakery and apparel; choose 2 mil for everyday food service, retail, and light parts; step up to 3 mil or 4 mil for sharp edges, heavy hardware, or long-term storage. How do you seal gusseted poly bags on a roll?Heat sealing with an impulse sealer gives the most secure, tamper-evident closure on these bags. They can also be closed with twist ties for reusable temporary closures, self-adhesive bag tape for a permanent seal, or staples for non-food applications. Who uses 2 mil gusseted poly bags on rolls?High-volume packers who need to grab a bag one-handed use them: bakeries and delis, produce and bulk-food departments, retail and craft sellers bagging clothing or hardware, and industrial shops packing electronics, automotive parts, and components. The perforated roll format also feeds automated dispensing systems. How are the rolls packaged and can I buy them wholesale?Bags come perforated on rolls with a 3" core and 1" core plug, and Prism Pak sells them from a single roll up to pallet quantities at wholesale pricing. In-stock items receive same-day processing and ship from our warehouse. Related ProductsLooking for different options?
