Material Notes
LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) is the standard material for flat poly bags across food processing, retail, and light industrial applications. This virgin resin formulation is FDA and USDA compliant, making it appropriate for direct food contact packaging where required.
Use Case Notes
The 8" x 16" footprint is well-suited to tall, narrow products that do not fit standard square bags. Candle producers use this size to protect tapered pillars and column candles. Beverage distributors rely on it for individual bottle wrapping and transport protection. The 1000-count carton supports medium-volume production lines and wholesale fulfillment operations.
Common Questions
Q: Are these FDA compliant for food contact?
A: Yes. These bags are manufactured from 100% virgin LDPE resin that meets FDA and USDA specifications for direct food contact.
Q: Can I heat seal these bags?
A: Yes. The open-end construction is compatible with heat sealing equipment. They can also be closed with ties, staples, or tape.
Q: What is the difference between bottom seal and side weld?
A: Bottom seal bags are sealed across the bottom and are typically used for lighter-weight applications. Side weld bags have seams along both sides and a fold at the bottom, offering greater strength for heavier products.
Why Buy
At 1000 units per carton, these 8" x 16" LDPE bags deliver consistent performance at a wholesale price point. Virgin resin construction ensures compliance and reliable seal integrity batch after batch — a requirement for candle manufacturers, bottlers, and food-adjacent operations that cannot afford packaging failures.
