These wet pack bags solve a common grocery checkout problem: keeping wet, cold, or dripping items separated from dry goods in the same shopping bag. Made from white high-density polyethylene (HDPE), these bags prevent meat juices, seafood moisture, frozen condensation, and damp produce from damaging bread, paper products, and other dry purchases. The #20 size corresponds to standard paper grocery bag sizing for familiar, intuitive use.

Commercial Applications
Grocery stores and supermarkets rely on wet pack bags at checkout lanes to improve customer satisfaction and prevent damage claims. Meat departments use these bags for fresh cuts, ground beef, and poultry packages that may leak. Seafood counters bag fish, shrimp, and shellfish to contain moisture and odors. Frozen food sections benefit from wet packs to isolate frost-covered packages that create condensation. Deli and prepared foods operations use them for hot rotisserie items or wet salads.
