What Are Flat Poly Bags?
Flat Poly bags are flat, two-dimensional plastic pouches with just width and length. They have no expandable sides or bottoms. They are constructed of clear, flat, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and are ideally suited for items that can be flat-packed or that have a consistent, uniform shape. Packaging Friends offers FDA- and USDA-approved types to help ensure food safety and maintain uniform product integrity.
Proper packaging must effectively accommodate a product in whatever shape or form it comes in. Our flat poly bags are perfect for companies seeking straightforward, affordable, and handy packaging solutions.
How Flat Poly Bags Work
Flat poly bags are effortless, straightforward, and functional when compared to shrink or other types of stretch plastic bags. In their flat, simple design, flat poly bags are convenient to fill, seal, and store. They are available in various thicknesses, ranging from 1 mil to 6 mil, with excellent clarity and good protection. Once filled, the bags seal easily with heat, tape, or twist ties, making them a practical solution for storing flat or uniform items neatly.
Flat Poly Bag Sizes
Clear LDPE flat bags are the standard design option for day-to-day use and are available in various sizes, ranging from a small size of 3 inches by 3 inches to a large size of 20 inches by 30 inches. FDA-compliant food-grade bags are ideal for wrapping products such as bread, fruits and vegetables, frozen foods, and baked goods without compromising food safety. Flat poly bags are also available in static-shielding designs, making them ideal for protecting electronics, such as circuit boards. For added convenience, we offer reclosable bags in the form of zip-lock or lip-and-tape closures, providing reusable and resealable packaging solutions.
Advantages of Flat Poly Bags
Flat poly bags are highly transparent, offering excellent visibility of products, and are flat when empty, which maximizes warehouse space. Flat poly bags offer customized protection, featuring options such as food-grade material, static-shielding layers, heat-sealable construction, and resealable versions. Several closure options are available to provide safe and secure packaging. For businesses seeking to reduce their packaging costs, the flat poly bag offers a highly affordable option when ordered in bulk quantities, thanks to our competitive pricing.
