Wine Bottle & Tall Candle Pillar Flat Poly Bags 7" x 18" — 2 mil LDPE
These 7" x 18" flat poly bags are a standard format for tall, narrow product packaging applications including wine bottles, pillar candles, and column-form merchandise. The 2 mil gauge provides solid protection against surface abrasion and moisture while keeping the bag lightweight for high-volume production use. The long narrow profile reduces excess material on the sides and creates a cleaner wrapped appearance compared to using an oversized bag.

Material Notes
Manufactured from virgin low-density polyethylene (LDPE) resin. All stated gauges are nominal. Complies with FDA 21 CFR and USDA requirements for direct food contact, making these bags appropriate for winery tasting room operations, food gift packaging, and incidental food product contact applications. The LDPE film provides reliable low-temperature flexibility for cold storage of bottled products.
Use Case Notes
The 7" width accommodates most standard 750ml wine bottle diameters (approximately 3–33.5 inches) with room for a clean twist or heat seal at the top. The 18" length provides adequate room for a standard 12–13 inch wine bottle with a 4–5 inch closure tail above the neck. For taller formats (magnum or 1.5L bottles), evaluate the 7x24 or 8x20 format. For pillar candles, the bag slides over the candle and can be sealed at both ends for retail display packaging.
Common Questions
Q: Will a standard 750ml wine bottle fit in a 7x18 bag?

Q: Are these FDA compliant for food contact?
A: Yes. Made from virgin LDPE resin, these bags comply with FDA 21 CFR and USDA requirements for direct food contact, supporting their use in food gift packaging and winery applications.
