Everything You Need to Know About 55 Gallon Trash Bags
At Packaging Friends, we stock 55-gallon bags in 0.65 mil and 0.9 mil thickness, which balances weight and flexibility. The bags are puncture-resistant, made of linear low‑density polyethylene (LLDPE) for tear and stretch resistance, and are FDA-approved, heat-sealable, and recyclable.
The 36" width by 58" length is ideal for most typical container drums and bins. They come in either clear or black; clear for visibility and regulatory compliance, and black for camouflage and looks. We supply them in packs of 100 or 200 per roll, for easy storage. Their star-seal design increases base strength and also reduces leakage. For heavier-duty applications, the 0.9 mil black bags can handle more heavy waste, while the 0.65 mil clear bag is best for lighter duties or where visibility is required.
