Virgin LDPE flat poly bags in a 4×16 in. format are well suited to narrow, elongated products including taper candles, pillar candles, paint brushes, wooden dowels, and similar long-form items.

Material Notes

LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) at 1.5 mil provides sufficient protection for lightweight rigid and semi-rigid products like candles and brushes without excess film weight. The material offers good elongation to accommodate slight diameter variations across product lots. FDA compliant virgin resin is appropriate for products requiring food-adjacent packaging compliance, such as flavored or scented candles packaged near edible goods.

Use Case Notes

The 4×16 in. format fits standard 12 in. taper candles with clearance for a folded heat seal at the top. For pillar candles, the 4 in. width accommodates diameters up to approximately 3.75 in. when the bag is opened fully. For brush sets with multiple long-handle brushes bundled together, the narrow format keeps the bundle tight and presentation-ready.

Common Questions

Q: Will a standard 12-inch taper candle fit?
A: Yes. A 16 in. bag length provides adequate room for a 12 in. taper candle plus a folded heat seal at the open end without compressing the candle tip.

Q: Are these FDA compliant?
A: Yes. Produced from 100% virgin LDPE resin meeting FDA and USDA specifications for indirect food contact use.

Q: What is the case quantity?
A: 1,000 bags per carton.

Q: Can these be run on automated bagging equipment?
A: Yes. The open-end format and consistent gauge are compatible with most vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal and semi-automatic bagging equipment designed for flat poly stock.

Why Buy

Narrow elongated flat poly bags are an often-overlooked SKU where gauge inconsistency causes frequent sealer jams and seal failures. Our bags are produced from 100% virgin LDPE — not regrind — delivering predictable film behavior on heat sealers and reducing downtime in candle, craft, and hardware packaging operations.
