Polypropylene vs. Polyethylene: Which Is Better?
Polypropylene (our bags): Superior clarity, higher melting point (great for hot environments), stiffer feel, excellent moisture barrier. Best for retail display where product visibility matters.
Polyethylene: Softer, more flexible, slightly lower cost. Better for shipping protection than display.
For retail packaging, polypropylene wins on clarity and presentation.
How to Choose the Right Size
Measure your product at its widest point (length x width). Add 1/2" on each side for a snug fit. The hang hole requires clearance above the product - ensure at least 1" of headroom above your item.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are polypropylene zip bags with hang holes food safe?Yes. These polypropylene zip top bags are FDA approved for direct food contact under 21 CFR 177.1520, and they are commonly used for bakery items, candy, snacks, and dry foods. They contain no latex, BPA, PVC, phthalates, or heavy metals, and meet California Prop 65 and CONEG requirements. Can you heat seal polypropylene bags?No. Polypropylene has a high melting point of roughly 320 degrees F, which makes heat sealing impractical. These bags use a press-to-close zipper instead. If you need a bag you can heat seal, choose a polyethylene bag. What size is the hang hole on these bags?The hang hole is approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) in diameter and is positioned above the zipper. That fits standard pegboard hooks, slatwall hooks, and most retail display racks. What sizes do polypropylene zip top bags with hang holes come in?Popular stock sizes run from 3" x 5" up to 8" x 10", including 4" x 6" and 6" x 9". To pick a size, measure your product at its widest point, add about 1/2 inch on each side, and allow at least 1 inch of headroom above the item so the hang hole clears it. Are polypropylene zip top bags reusable?Yes. The press-to-close zipper can be opened and closed hundreds of times. Polypropylene is stiffer and more durable than polyethylene, so these 2 mil bags hold their shape well for repeated storage and organization. Do you offer custom printing on polypropylene hang hole bags?Yes, custom printing is available on large orders, typically 10,000 bags or more.
