Flat Poly Bags 12″ x 30″ 1.5 mil 1000/CTN

Long-Stem Rose & Cut Flower Flat Poly Bags 12″ x 30″ — 1.5 mil LDPE

These 12″ x 30″ flat poly bags are a standard floral industry format for long-stem cut flower packaging, rose bunching, and wholesale bouquet distribution. The 30-inch length accommodates standard long-stem roses (18–24 inch stems) with room to close above the bloom head, while the 12-inch width fits a standard bunch without excessive bagging. The 1.5 mil gauge is appropriate for cut flower use where the bag needs to be lightweight and moisture-flexible while still providing stem protection during cold chain transit.

Material Notes

Manufactured from 100% virgin low-density polyethylene (LDPE) resin. All stated gauges are nominal. LDPE film maintains flexibility at refrigerated temperatures (34–40°F) used in cold chain floral distribution, ensuring the bag does not become brittle or crack during transit. Complies with FDA 21 CFR and USDA requirements for direct food contact — appropriate for produce and food-adjacent floral packaging applications. No recycled content, no printing unless custom ordered.

Use Case Notes

For rose bunching operations: insert a standard 10–25 stem bunch, slide bag up to the blooms, and twist-tie or heat seal the open end below the heads. The 30-inch length provides adequate coverage for 24-inch long-stem roses with 4–6 inches of closure material above the cut stem ends. For mixed bouquet retail display, slide the bag over the completed arrangement and gather at the stem base with a rubber band or raffia tie. For fresh produce (asparagus, leeks), orient bag lengthwise and pack from the open end, then twist and seal at the top.

Common Questions

Q: Will long-stem roses (24 inches) fit in a 12×30 bag?
A: Yes. 24-inch long-stem roses fit comfortably with approximately 6 inches of bag extending above the stem tops for a clean twist or seal closure. For roses longer than 26 inches, consider a 12×36 or 14×36 format.

Q: Are these bags safe for fresh produce like asparagus?
A: Yes. These bags are manufactured from FDA/USDA-compliant virgin LDPE resin and are safe for direct contact with fresh produce including asparagus, leeks, and similar long-format vegetables.

Q: Can these bags hold water for flower freshness?
A: Yes. The LDPE film is water-resistant and the bottom seal construction will retain small amounts of water around stem ends for short-term transit. For extended water retention, use a foam water pick in addition to the bag.

Q: Are these available in other floral sizes?
A: We stock flat poly bags in a range of floral-compatible formats. If the 12×30 doesn’t match your specific bunch or bouquet dimensions, contact us for available alternatives.
