Polypropylene Bag FAQs
What is a polypropylene bag?A polypropylene bag is a crystal-clear flat plastic bag made from virgin polypropylene resin, identified by recycling code #5. Prism Pak stocks flat PP bags in 1.5 mil and 2.0 mil thicknesses with an open, heat-sealable top. Polypropylene is stiffer and clearer than polyethylene, which makes it the standard choice for retail display and food presentation. Are polypropylene bags food safe?Yes — our polypropylene bags are FDA compliant for direct food contact. They contain no BPA, phthalates, latex, PVC, mercury, or heavy metals, and their moisture and vapor barrier helps extend the shelf life of bakery items, candy, snacks, and coffee. What is the difference between polypropylene and polyethylene bags?Polypropylene bags are crystal clear, stiffer, and have a higher melting point and a better moisture barrier, while polyethylene bags are slightly hazy, softer, and more flexible. Choose polypropylene when the product needs to be seen — retail display, bakery, and gift packaging — and polyethylene for general-purpose and bulk handling. What size polypropylene bag do I need?Measure your product at its widest and longest points, then add 1 to 2 inches to both the width and the length. Common stock sizes are 4" x 6" for cookies, candy, and jewelry, 6" x 9" for bakery items and greeting cards, 8" x 10" for apparel, and 10" x 13" for magazines and retail merchandise. Can polypropylene bags be heat sealed?Yes — flat polypropylene bags ship with an open top and are heat sealable. Leave an extra inch or two of headspace above the product so there is clean film to seal, and note that polypropylene has a higher melting point than polyethylene, so sealers may need a slightly higher temperature setting. Is there a minimum order for wholesale polypropylene bags?No — Prism Pak has no minimum order requirement on polypropylene bags. Volume discounts apply on case quantities, in-stock sizes ship the same day, qualifying orders ship freight free, and custom sizes are available by quote. |
