Material Notes

Manufactured from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) resin to FDA/USDA specification standards. At 1 mil nominal gauge, this is the lightest practical thickness for open-end flat poly bag applications. LDPE flexibility prevents cracking or brittleness that would occur in thinner or stiffer film alternatives. All gauge listings are nominal.

Use Case Notes

The 11×14 format fits standard US photo print sizes (8×10, 8.5×11, 11×14), art prints, certificates, and similar flat documents. At 1 mil, these bags are appropriate for protective sleeving during storage and display rather than rough-handling shipping applications. For transit protection, a 1.5 or 2 mil bag is recommended.

Common Questions

Q: Is 1 mil thick enough for photo prints?
A: Yes, for indoor storage, retail display, and standard mail handling. For high-friction shipping environments or packages that receive significant handling, a 1.5–2 mil bag provides better abrasion resistance to protect print surfaces.

Q: What is the maximum print size this bag accommodates?
A: The 11×14 opening accommodates prints up to approximately 10.5×13.5 inches with normal insertion clearance. For exact dimensional fits, the bag interior dimension is nominally 11 inches wide by 14 inches tall (open end).

Q: Are these suitable for direct food contact?
A: Yes. Made from FDA/USDA compliant LDPE resin, these bags are suitable for food-contact packaging when properly sealed, though the primary application is document and print sleeving.

Why Buy

The lowest material cost per bag in this size range for operations that sleeve, protect, and distribute flat documents, prints, and lightweight apparel at volume. The 1,000-unit case keeps per-unit packaging cost minimal for photo labs, print fulfillment, and wholesale document distribution operations.
