Specifications for Operations
At 0.75 mil thickness, these bags are designed for light-duty applications where product weight and handling are minimal. Best suited for dry goods, baked items, and products under 2 pounds. The side gusset construction provides approximately 2-3 inches of expansion capacity, allowing the bag to adapt to various product shapes while maintaining a compact profile during storage and display.
The virgin polyethylene material is moisture-resistant and provides a barrier against dust and contamination. Bags are packaged in cases of 1,000 for commercial purchasing and warehouse efficiency. The seamless tubing construction eliminates side seams that can fail under stress, while the bottom seal is engineered for consistent strength across production runs.
