Choosing the right gauge & duty
Match bag thickness to load and handling. Light duty suits lightweight parts and dust covers; medium duty fits everyday fulfilment; heavy duty resists punctures for bulkier or denser goods. For stacked or abrasive items, step up a gauge and add paper interleaves or bubble.
Shipping externally? Consider mailing bags or combine inner bags with cardboard outers for courier networks.
Speed at the bench
For high-throughput packing stations, dispenser packs deliver bags one-at-a-time to cut fumbles and waste. Use tape or heat sealers for quick closure. For garment fulfilment, pre-size polyprop sleeves speed SKU handling and keep items pristine.
Packing tips & best practice
- Right-size: select a bag slightly larger than the item to avoid stress—excess slack invites movement.
- Protect surfaces: pair with tissue or cardboard sheets for scuff-prone finishes.
- Seal securely: use peel-and-seal mailers or add strong tape/heat seals to keep dust and moisture out.
- Label cleanly: apply thermal labels on flat areas; avoid seams and pleats.
- Sustainability: switch to paper bags or paper mailing bags where workflows allow.
Bags – Frequently Asked Questions
Polythene (LDPE/MDPE) is softer and more flexible—great for protection and packing. Polyprop (BOPP) is stiffer and crystal clear—ideal for retail garment presentation.
Use paper bags for an eco-first approach, gift-ready looks and easy recyclability. For high moisture resistance or tear resistance, choose appropriate polythene gauges or mailing bags.
Paper ranges are widely recyclable. Many polythene films are recyclable where facilities exist—check local guidelines. Remove labels/tape if requested by your scheme.
Match gauge to weight, sharp edges and handling. If in doubt, step up a gauge or add internal protection like kraft paper or void fill.
Yes for soft goods using mailing bags. For fragile or heavy items, use a cardboard outer plus internal protection.
