UV Protection Technology
Amber-tinted polyethylene absorbs and blocks ultraviolet light waves in the 200-400nm spectrum that cause photodegradation in sensitive compounds. Unlike clear poly bags, amber bags maintain product potency and stability during storage, handling, and shipping. This protection is critical for medications, vitamins, certain chemicals, and botanical extracts that break down when exposed to light.
Commercial Applications
Pharmaceutical compounding operations use amber bags for packaging light-sensitive medications and active ingredients. Supplement manufacturers rely on these bags for vitamins, herbal extracts, and nutraceuticals susceptible to UV degradation. Laboratory and research facilities store reagents, samples, and photosensitive chemicals. Cannabis dispensaries package products requiring light protection. Veterinary clinics and animal hospitals store medications safely. The 5x7 size handles small to medium product quantities while maintaining efficient storage footprint.

Sealing Options
These open-ended bags accommodate multiple closure methods depending on your operational requirements. Heat sealers create permanent, tamper-evident closures ideal for final packaging. Impulse sealers offer quick sealing for high-volume operations. For temporary storage or reusable applications, fold-over with tape provides adequate closure. Match your sealing method to your throughput requirements and security needs.
Size Selection Guide
The 5x7 dimension suits small bottles, vials, blister packs, and individual product units. For larger items, consider our expanded amber bag size range. Allow approximately 0.5 inch clearance on width and 1-2 inches on length for proper sealing margins when selecting bag size for your application.
