4 Types of Poly Bags and Their Functions
There are so many different types of poly bags out there, you probably couldn’t count them all on both hands. But today we’re going to break down four of the most popular and most used types of poly bags and what they are used for!
For tiny, soft, and non-fragile objects, poly plastic bags are a great alternative to cardboard boxes! Poly bags create less waste and need less fillers, such as packing peanuts, cardboard spacers, dunnage air bags, or scrap paper. They're perfect for books, small gadgets, clothes, and fabric goods. Poly bags are also a great way to package items that are already stored in durable boxes, like DVDs, cosmetics, video games, snacks, etc. These four different types of poly bags are the most widely used and each have different functions.
Anti-Static Poly Bags
Anti-static poly bags usually come in a different color than the lay-flat or gusseted poly bags (ours come in pink) and are used to protect sensitive electronic equipment against static electricity. These poly bags are mostly used for items such as hard drives, circuit boards, video cards, and other sensitive electronics! These bags also keep the electronics clean and protect against moisture.
Gusseted Poly Bags
Gusseted poly bags feature expandable sides, a foldable pleat, and fitted bottoms. This makes the bags wider and able to hold more within them. These bags are best for items that have irregular shapes and eliminate wasted space!
Reclosable Poly Bags
Reclosable poly bags are exactly how they sound, a standard plastic bag that you can reclose and reuse. These bags are perfect for preserving any small items and have a very easy-to-use sealable opening. You can reuse these any time you need and store food, candies, or any other small objects!
Poly Tubing
Poly tubing is one of the best and most efficient ways to package large, bulky, or oddly shaped items. Poly tubing provides the convenience of a custom-fit poly bag and the versatility of a broad range of sizes! Simply cut tubing to desired length, insert product, then close both ends using impulse sealers to create personalized poly bags in seconds!
