Common Questions
Q: Will a folded adult t-shirt fit in these bags?
A: Yes! A standard adult t-shirt (S-XL) folds to roughly 8x10 inches, fitting comfortably in this 9x16" bag with room for tissue paper or a thank-you card. Even bulkier items like hoodies fold to fit when rolled or tri-folded.
Q: What does "3 mil" thickness mean, and why does it matter?
A: Mil measures thickness in thousandths of an inch — 3 mil is 0.003" thick. Standard poly bags are often 1-1.5 mil, so these are about twice as thick. The extra thickness means better puncture resistance, less stretching, and a more premium feel for your customers.
Q: Can I heat seal these bags closed?
A: Yes, LDPE poly bags seal beautifully with a standard impulse sealer. The 3 mil thickness creates a strong seal that won't pop open. You can also fold and tape, or use sticker labels for a simpler closure.
