Common Questions
Q: What garments fit in a 16 x 36 inch bag?
A: This size accommodates most full-length garments including graduation gowns (typically 48-60 inches when folded), choir robes, floor-length dresses, and long coats when folded once. The 16-inch width handles garments up to about a size 2XL comfortably.
Q: Can these bags be heat-sealed?
A: Yes! LDPE poly bags seal easily with a standard impulse sealer, heat sealer, or even a household iron on low heat with parchment paper. You can also use twist ties, ribbon, or tape for a quick closure.
Q: Are these bags safe for long-term garment storage?
A: These bags are excellent for short to medium-term storage and protection during transport or seasonal storage. For very long-term archival storage of heirloom garments, breathable garment bags may be preferred to prevent moisture buildup.
