Material Notes

Made from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) resin. HDPE at 0.5 mil provides a higher tensile strength-to-thickness ratio than LDPE, making it appropriate for thin-gauge newspaper bags that must resist tearing and moisture penetration. HDPE is stiffer than LDPE, which contributes to its load-carrying capacity at low gauge. Also available in extra-clear LDPE for applications requiring greater transparency or softer film feel.

Use Case Notes

Newspaper delivery contractors typically load these bags at the dispatch point or en route. The cardboard header facilitates fast loading by keeping the bag mouth open during insertion. The 21-inch length accommodates most broadsheet and tabloid newspapers up to 22 pages (pre-folded to approximately 12x15 inches), with room for weather protection overhang at the open end.

Common Questions

Q: What is the difference between HDPE and LDPE newspaper bags?
A: HDPE newspaper bags are stronger at lower gauge, less transparent, and have a slightly crinkly feel. LDPE versions are softer, more transparent, and stretchier. For outdoor delivery where rain and wind resistance matter more than clarity, HDPE is the standard choice. LDPE is preferred for retail display applications where a clearer film is desired.

Q: Is the suffocation warning required by law?
A: Many jurisdictions require suffocation warnings on bags with openings larger than a specified dimension. These bags come pre-printed with the standard suffocation warning, which reduces the compliance burden on the buyer and eliminates the need for separate labeling.

Why Buy

For newspaper publishers, print media distributors, and delivery contractors, purpose-built newspaper delivery bags provide a reliable, ready-to-use solution with the hang hole header already in place. The 0.5 mil HDPE construction delivers the weather protection newspaper delivery requires at the lowest practical film weight and per-unit cost.
