Material Notes

LDPE at 1.5 mil is a light to standard gauge appropriate for small, low-abrasion products such as soap bars, wax melts, and dry goods sachets. The film provides a moisture barrier adequate for protecting solid products from humidity during display and short-term transit. FDA compliant virgin resin is appropriate for packaging products with indirect food contact, such as herb and spice sachets or food-adjacent personal care items. For wet or high-oil products such as lotion bars with high butter content, confirm the bag is sealed tightly to prevent oil migration through the bag opening.

Use Case Notes

The 5×6 in. format accommodates standard craft soap bars (typically 3.5×2.5×1.25 in.) with room for a folded heat-seal or sticker closure at the open end. For lotion bars with a wax coating or melt-prone formulas, wrap loosely and seal at room temperature to avoid distorting the product surface. For wax melts, the bag provides containment for fragrance and colorant dusting during distribution.

Common Questions

Q: Will 1.5 mil hold up for retail display of soap bars?
A: Yes. At 1.5 mil, these bags provide adequate surface protection for soap bars during retail display. For products that will be stacked or handled frequently, 2 mil provides additional abrasion resistance if needed.

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 used with a heat sealer?
A: Yes. 1.5 mil LDPE seals reliably with low-temperature impulse sealers. Use the lowest effective temperature setting to avoid scorching the film at this gauge.
