Wet Pack Grocery Bags #12 - Cold and Wet Item Isolation for Retail Checkout
Wet pack bags provide essential item separation at grocery checkout and takeout counters. These white HDPE bags isolate cold, wet, or condensation-prone items from dry goods in the same shopping bag, preventing moisture damage and keeping customers satisfied. The #12 size corresponds to standard paper grocery bags, making staff training simple and inventory management straightforward.

Commercial Applications
Grocery stores and supermarkets rely on wet pack bags for checkout efficiency. Baggers quickly separate frozen items, refrigerated products, and fresh meats from bread, chips, and paper goods. Deli counters use these bags for prepared salads and rotisserie items that generate condensation. Takeout restaurants and food service operations appreciate the moisture barrier when packing hot soups alongside cold beverages. Convenience stores stock wet pack bags for ice, fountain drinks, and refrigerated grab-and-go items that need isolation from other purchases.

Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between wet pack bags and regular poly bags?

Q: How many items fit in a #12 wet pack bag?
A: The 7x4x15 dimensions accommodate most individual frozen dinners, 1-2 pound meat packages, ice bags, deli containers, or 2-3 beverage bottles. The gusseted sides expand for bulkier items.

A: Yes, these HDPE bags are FDA compliant for food contact. They're designed specifically for grocery and food service applications where food items need moisture isolation.
