Common Questions
Q: How thick is 6 mil compared to regular poly bags?
A: 6 mil is about three times thicker than standard 2 mil bags. It's heavy-duty packaging designed for items that could puncture thinner material — think chunky knits, items with buttons or zippers, or anything you're shipping that needs extra protection.
Q: Can I seal these bags?
A: Yes! You can heat seal these bags for a professional, tamper-evident closure. You can also fold over the top and secure with tape, or use twist ties for a reusable option.
Q: Are these bags food safe for baked goods?
A: Absolutely. Made from FDA food-contact compliant virgin LDPE, these bags are safe for cookies, bread, and other food items. The 6 mil thickness also provides extra protection during transport.
