Common Questions
Q: What size items will fit in a 20x16x42 gusseted bag?
A: With gussets fully expanded, you have about 36 inches of usable width (20" + 16") and 42" of height. That's perfect for large gift baskets up to 18" diameter, tall floral arrangements, oversized boxes, or bulky items like pillows and stuffed animals.
Q: How thick is 3 mil compared to standard bags?
A: 3 mil is considered heavy-duty. Standard retail bags are typically 1-1.5 mil, so these are about twice as thick. The extra thickness provides much better puncture resistance and tear strength, making them ideal for heavier items or rough handling.
Q: Can I use these for storing food items like large gift baskets with treats?
A: Yes! These bags are made from 100% virgin LDPE that's FDA food-contact compliant, so they're safe for food applications. Perfect for wrapping large cookie towers, candy arrangements, or gourmet gift baskets.
