Specs: 12″ x 16″ | 1.5 mil | LDPE | 1000/Carton | FDA/USDA Compliant

Applications

Folded children’s clothing and youth apparel, onesies and infant outfits, lightweight scarves and bandanas, folded dish towels and kitchen linens, photo prints and calendar inserts, greeting card sets with envelopes, retail gift packaging for light soft goods, and mail-order fulfillment bagging for clothing e-commerce operations.

Features

Bottom seal construction provides uniform strength across the bag base. Lightweight 1.5 mil gauge delivers economical coverage for soft, non-abrasive retail items. Bags can be heat sealed, stapled, twist-tied, or taped. The 12 x 16 format accommodates most standard folded youth garments and soft goods without excess material or bunching at the open end.

Material Notes

LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) provides excellent transparency and flexibility. 100% virgin resin meets FDA/USDA specifications for incidental food contact where applicable. At 1.5 mil, these bags are best suited for soft goods in retail and light fulfillment environments. For heavier garments or items with hardware accents, a 2 mil bag is recommended to prevent gauge-through damage.

Use Case Notes

Standard folded children’s t-shirts and onesies typically measure 8 to 10 inches wide and 10 to 12 inches tall when folded, fitting cleanly in a 12 x 16 bag with room for a hang tag or product card. Youth-sized polo shirts and button-downs fold to similar dimensions. For children’s denim or heavier knitwear, sizing up to 12 x 18 or using a 2 mil bag is recommended. The 1000-count carton supports high-volume apparel fulfillment operations.

Common Questions
