Industrial Poly Bag FAQs
What are industrial poly bags used for?Industrial poly bags are used to store, protect, and ship heavy, sharp, or bulky goods in manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, automotive, construction, and food processing operations. Typical contents include machined parts, fasteners, brake pads, filters, belts, work-in-progress inventory, and bulk dry goods that need protection from dust, moisture, and contamination. What mil thickness should I use for industrial poly bags?Use 2 mil for light-duty packaging, 3-4 mil for medium-duty work, and 6 mil or heavier for sharp-edged parts and heavy loads. LK Packaging industrial bags typically run 3 to 6 mil, which is thicker than standard retail poly bags and is what gives them their tear and puncture resistance during rough handling. Are LK Packaging industrial bags food safe?LK Packaging offers FDA-compliant industrial bags suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical, and cleanroom environments. Not every industrial bag in the line is rated for direct food contact, so confirm FDA compliance on the specific item or call 1-570-709-0366 before using a bag with unpackaged food. What sizes do LK Packaging industrial bags come in?Stock sizes range from 6" x 9" up to 60" x 96", and custom sizes are available. To size a bag, measure your product's length, width, and depth, then add 2 to 3 inches for easy loading; choose a gusseted bag when the item has real depth. What is the difference between flat and gusseted industrial bags?A flat bag is a two-panel sleeve best suited to thin or uniform products, while a gusseted bag has folded side or bottom panels that expand to hold bulky, boxy, or irregularly shaped loads. Gusseted industrial bags are the better choice for bulk parts, foam, drum and box liners, and large components. Is LK Packaging the same company as Elkay Plastics?Yes. LK Packaging is the current name of Elkay Plastics, a US manufacturer that has produced plastic bags for more than 60 years. The industrial product line, item numbers, and quality standards carried over under the LK Packaging name, so an Elkay part you bought previously is the same bag today. Can I buy industrial poly bags wholesale without a minimum order?Yes. Prism Pak sells LK Packaging industrial bags at wholesale pricing with no minimum order requirement and no membership fee. Full-case orders earn immediate savings, pallet quantities receive the deepest discounts, and custom-printed, custom-size, and private-label runs are available on request. |
