Common Questions
Q: Will a 5x7 greeting card with envelope fit in this bag?
A: Yes! The 5x9" size gives you about an inch of clearance on each side, so a standard A7 envelope (5.25 x 7.25") fits comfortably. You'll have room for a backing board too if you want extra rigidity.
Q: How thick is 3 mil compared to regular bags?
A: Most standard poly bags are 1-2 mil. At 3 mil, these are noticeably sturdier — you can feel the difference immediately. They resist punctures and creasing much better, which matters when you're shipping cards or photos.
Q: Can I use these for food at my farmers market booth?
A: Absolutely. These bags are made from FDA/USDA-compliant virgin LDPE resin, so they're safe for direct food contact. Great for individually wrapping cookies, brownies, or candy.
