Common Questions
Q: What makes metalocene better than regular poly ice bags?
A: Metalocene polyethylene has a tighter molecular structure that provides better puncture and tear resistance. This matters for ice because sharp edges can poke through weaker films — metalocene keeps your ice contained from freezer to customer.
Q: How many ice cubes fit in an 8lb bag?
A: An 8lb bag typically holds about 80-100 standard ice cubes, or roughly 1 gallon of ice. It's the classic convenience store size that fits easily in most coolers.
Q: I'm starting a small ice business — is 1000 bags enough to start?
A: For a new operation, 1000 bags is a great starting quantity. You'll have enough to test your market without over-investing, and our fast shipping means you can reorder quickly when you're ready to scale up.
