Common Questions
Q: Why choose 3 mil thickness over thinner bags?
A: At 3 mil, these bags are nearly twice as thick as standard 1.5 mil bags. The extra thickness prevents punctures from pointed items like brush handles, utensil tips, and tool ends. If you're packaging anything with sharp edges or need bags that hold up during shipping, 3 mil is the way to go.
Q: Can I use these for food items like wrapped silverware?
A: Yes! These bags are made from 100% virgin LDPE that meets FDA/USDA specifications for food contact. They're commonly used by caterers, food trucks, and restaurants for pre-wrapped utensil kits.
Q: What's the best way to seal these bags?
A: You can fold the top over and tape, use a twist tie, or heat seal for a tamper-evident closure. For food service, heat sealing creates a professional, sanitary package.
