Common Questions
Q: Why choose metalocene over regular poly ice bags?
A: Metalocene film is significantly stronger and more puncture-resistant than standard polyethylene. Ice cubes have sharp edges that can poke through cheaper bags — metalocene keeps your ice contained and your customers happy. You'll see fewer bag failures and returns.
Q: How do wicketed bags speed up production?
A: Wicketed bags come pre-stacked on a metal wire (the wicket) so each bag opens automatically as you pull it from the stack. This eliminates fumbling to separate bags and can easily double your bagging speed compared to loose bags. Essential for anyone filling more than a few hundred bags per day.
Q: What size ice production are these bags designed for?
A: At 11x20 inches, these bags are sized perfectly for 8 pounds of standard ice cubes — the most popular retail size. Whether you're running a dedicated ice plant or bagging ice for your convenience store, this size moves fast year-round.
