What Are Gusseted Poly Bags?
Unlike the regular flat poly bag, gusseted poly bags are custom-made plastic bags with extra sides or bottom pleats. They provide more capacity for bulk, irregularly shaped, or three-dimensional products. They are FDA-approved with expandable sides that mold to your product.
At Packaging Friends, we recognize that proper packaging must effectively accommodate a product in any form or shape. Therefore, our gusseted poly bags are the ideal solution for businesses requiring versatile, high-capacity packaging.
How Gusseted Bags Work
The magic of gusseted bags comes from their accordion-pleated construction, which allows them to stretch out when filled, forming a box shape that maximizes storage space. The pleats are flat when not in use, allowing for optimized storage, but unfold to accommodate large items when necessary. The flexible nature means the bag will naturally take the shape of your product, providing greater protection and a cleaner look than flat bags.
Types of Gusseted Poly Bags
Gusseted poly bags are available in a range of widths, from 6" to 68", and lengths, from 6" to 82", featuring a durable bottom seal and high clarity. Side-gusseted bags have pleats on the sides for expansion in width, while bottom-gusseted bags have pleats at the bottom for depth and expansion in that direction.
Some bags have both features for maximum capacity. Wicketed gusseted poly bags offer all the benefits of regular gusseted bags, combined with the convenience of wicketed packaging for quicker and easier dispensing.

Packaging Friends offers a wide range of gusseted bags in our catalog for every business use across various industries.
Our Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) bags are designed to meet FDA and USDA specifications for a safe and reliable seal, featuring excellent heat-sealing properties and bottom seals. They come in a range of thicknesses, from 2 mil for super lightweight needs to 6 mil. This makes them ideal for heavy-duty industrial uses, combining outstanding clarity with reliable sealing.
Benefits of Gusseted Poly Bags
A gusseted poly bag provides superior versatility compared to flat bags. The expandable design reduces material waste while improving product protection. All our gusset bags feature strong side and bottom seals that won't tear under pressure, meaning your products stay safe and secure. The professional appearance improves product presentation, while the space-efficient storage, even when empty, maximizes warehouse efficiency.
Applications of Gusseted Bags
Food Packaging and Storage
Gusseted bags work well for candies, baked goods, bulk grains and seeds, and other food products. The FDA-compliant materials ensure food safety while the expandable design accommodates varying product volumes. Fresh produce, frozen foods, and dry goods benefit from the bags' ability to conform to natural shapes while maintaining protective barriers against moisture and contamination.
Retail and Shipping Use
Gusseted bags also work well as gift bags or to package clothing, toys, blankets, and other large or irregularly shaped items. Retailers appreciate the professional appearance and product visibility, while the expandable capacity handles seasonal inventory fluctuations. That’s why many e-commerce businesses rely on gusseted bags for the secure shipping of bulky items.
Industrial and Commercial Needs
Manufacturing operations typically use gusseted bags for component packaging, parts storage, and the protection of work-in-progress. The bags' strength and capacity handle industrial applications while maintaining cost-effectiveness. The construction and automotive industries benefit from the chemical resistance and durability of materials and equipment.
Sizes, Thicknesses, and Closure Options
Our gusseted bags come in sizes ranging from small (6 inches) for retail packaging to large (68 inches) bags for industrial use. 2-mil through 6-mil thickness options cater to different strength requirements. Heat-sealable tops, self-adhesive strips, and wicketed styles are available for high-speed packaging applications. Additionally, custom sizes and specifications can be provided to meet specific packaging requirements.
