FAQ About Plastic Bags

1. Are plastic bags environmentally friendly?

While traditional plastic bags raise environmental concerns, we offer eco-conscious alternatives including biodegradable and compostable options made from plant-based materials. These break down much faster than conventional plastic bags while maintaining similar durability during use.

2. What thickness should I choose for my plastic bags?

The ideal thickness (measured in mils) depends on your intended use. For lightweight items like clothing or small retail goods, 0.5-0.7 mil works well. Grocery bags typically use 0.9-1.2 mil for adequate strength. Heavy-duty applications may require 1.5-2 mil thickness. Our experts can recommend the best option based on your specific requirements.

3. Can I get plastic bags with custom printing?

Yes, we offer full-color custom printing on all our plastic bags. The process uses high-quality, food-safe inks that won't smudge or fade. Minimum order quantities apply for custom designs, typically starting at 10,000 units. We provide design templates and can assist with artwork preparation to ensure optimal print quality.

Additional Features

• FDA-compliant for food contact
• Available in clear or colored options
• Anti-static and anti-fog variations

• Tamper-evident options for security

Ordering Information

Standard plastic bags ship within 3-5 business days from order confirmation. Custom orders typically require 2-3 weeks for production. We offer bulk discounts starting at 10,000 units and provide free samples of our standard products for evaluation.

Plastic Bags Industry Standards

Our manufacturing process complies with all relevant regulations including:

• ASTM D6400 (Compostable Plastics)
• EN 13432 (European Biodegradability Standards)
• FDA 21 CFR (Food Contact Materials)
• California Proposition 65 Compliance

More FAQ About Plastic Bags

4. What's the difference between recycled and virgin plastic bags?

Virgin plastic bags are made from new, never-used polymer materials, offering maximum clarity and consistent quality. Recycled plastic bags contain post-consumer or post-industrial recycled content (typically 30-100%), making them more sustainable but potentially with slight variations in color or texture.

5. How should I store unused plastic bags?

Plastic bags should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ideal storage temperature is between 50-75°F (10-24°C). Avoid humid environments as moisture can cause bags to stick together. For long-term storage, keep in original packaging until ready for use.

6. Can plastic bags be used for freezer storage?

Many of our plastic bags are freezer-safe, especially those made from LDPE material. Look for bags specifically labeled for freezer use with a minimum thickness of 1.5 mil. These withstand temperatures down to -40°F (-40°C) without becoming brittle or cracking.

Environmental Considerations

While plastic bags offer unmatched convenience, we encourage responsible use and disposal. Our eco-friendly product line includes:

• Bags made with 30-100% recycled content
• Plant-based biodegradable options
• Compostable bags certified for industrial facilities
• Programs for recycling used plastic bags

Final FAQ About Plastic Bags

7. What's the shelf life of plastic bags?

When stored properly, our plastic bags maintain their quality for 2-5 years. Biodegradable versions have a shorter shelf life of 6-12 months before beginning to degrade. We recommend rotating stock and using older inventory first.

8. Can plastic bags be heat-sealed?

Many of our plastic bag options can be heat-sealed for secure closures. Bags made from LDPE material (1 mil thickness or greater) seal best at temperatures between 250-300°F (121-149°C). We offer pre-made heat-sealable bags or can add heat-sealable strips to custom orders.

9. Are there weight restrictions for shipping plastic bags?

Due to their lightweight nature, plastic bags are typically shipped in bulk quantities. Standard pallets contain approximately 1,500-3,000 lbs of product depending on bag size and thickness. We optimize packaging to maximize shipping efficiency and minimize freight costs.
