Common Questions
Q: What does "side gusset" mean and why does it matter?
A: Side gussets are expandable folds on both sides of the bag that let it open wide and stand with more volume. When filled, the bag looks fuller and more professional than a flat bag. When empty, it folds flat for easy storage.
Q: Is 2 mil thick enough for metal hardware?
A: Yes! 2 mil polyethylene is considered heavy-duty for small parts bags. It resists punctures from screws, nails, and sharp-edged hardware much better than standard 1 mil bags. For very heavy or extremely sharp items, consider double-bagging.
Q: Can I heat seal these bags closed?
A: Yes, polyethylene heat seals easily with a standard impulse sealer. You can also use twist ties, staples, or fold-over tape closures depending on your needs.
