Paperback Book & Catalog Sleeving Bags — 9" x 14" / 1.5 Mil LDPE / 1000 per Carton
These 9" x 14" flat poly bags are sized for light-duty sleeving of paperback books, product catalogs, print materials, and retail accessories.

At 1.5 mil LDPE, the bags protect against dust, fingerprints, and minor moisture exposure without adding weight to stacked print runs or book distribution cartons.

Material Notes
Manufactured from 100% virgin LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) resin meeting FDA/USDA specifications. All listed gauges are nominal. Virgin resin ensures consistent film performance across the full carton, which matters when running high volumes through automated sleeving and heat seal equipment.
Use Case Notes
Most standard trade paperback books (6" x 9" page size) fit with 1‒1.5" of margin per side in a 9x14 bag. Product catalogs folded to standard 8.5" x 11" trim with a stiff backing fit with moderate slack for easy insertion. For direct mail applications, the bag can be heat sealed over the open end and labeled for machine insertion. For retail display, a fold-over tape seal is common for accessory bags that need to be opened by the customer.
Common Questions
Will this bag fit a standard trade paperback?
Most trade paperbacks (6" x 9" trim with 0.5–1" spine) fit comfortably with margin on all sides. For larger format books (8.5" x 11" or 7" x 10" trim), verify your finished dimensions against the 9" opening before ordering.
Can this bag be used for food packaging?
Yes. Made from 100% virgin LDPE resin meeting FDA/USDA specifications for food contact applications.
Is 1.5 mil strong enough for mailed print pieces?
For single copies of catalogs or books in mailer envelopes, yes. For loose poly mailer use without an outer envelope, consider a heavier gauge or a poly mailer bag with a pressure-sensitive seal.
