What Are 1.5 Mil LDPE Flat Bags Used For?

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) flat bags at 1.5 mil thickness are perfect for light-duty applications where product visibility and protection from moisture are essential:

  • Bakery & Food Service: Cookies, pastries, bread, candies (FDA approved)
  • Retail Packaging: Clothing, soft goods, small parts
  • Produce & Agriculture: Leafy greens, herbs, lightweight vegetables
  • Arts & Crafts: Scrapbooking supplies, beads, small components

1.5 Mil vs 2 Mil vs 3 Mil: Which Thickness Do You Need?

1.5 mil bags are best for items under 5 lbs that need moisture protection but not heavy-duty strength. If you're packaging:

  • Light items (under 5 lbs): Use 1.5 mil (cost-effective)
  • Medium items (5-10 lbs): Upgrade to 2 mil bags
  • Heavy items (10+ lbs): Use 3 mil bags or thicker
