Few things are as ubiquitous in our lives today as the Polypropylene and Polyethylene bag.

What is Poly?Polypropylene and Polyethylene are commonly known as plastic. Poly bags come in all shapes and sizes with many different features used across many industries. Poly material is an inexpensive petroleum-based product that can be as strong or as flexible as needed. The flexibility of configuration and adaptability of purpose is why this material is used to package everything from coffee or bread to furniture and mattresses. Perfect for All IndustriesPoly bags are the bags of choice for most packaging and containment needs because they are:
More Than a Trash BagMany of us are most familiar with plastic trash can liners and trash bags. Before grocery stores started using poly bags and still used paper bags, trash liner poly bags were in regular use because they kept the trash contents from leaking nasty liquids. Today poly bags have grown to include medium weight and heavyweight bags for protecting bigger and bulkier products during shipping, storage, and delivery. For goods and products with odd shapes or long lengths, many industries use poly tubing. Picture a grocery produce bag roll but bigger and not sealed at the bottom. Dry cleaners often use these tubes for protecting long gowns and dresses or area rugs and comforters. Simply cut the bag material to length and tie both ends to protect the contents. Adco lists many different poly bag configurations available for a multitude of uses. Another Way to AdvertiseRetail packaging and shipping are also opportunities to advertise your product. As soon as your product leaves the plant or distribution center, you want your brand on it. Look at how deliveries take place today. Everything sold through Amazon comes in an Amazon branded package, and their poly packages have graphic designs to show it. Printing on poly materials is standard practice in today’s market. Durable and MultipurposeWith poly material being durable and multi-use, it is very common to see bags being reused. Grocery bags become trash can liners. Large closeable poly bags are used for storage and temporary suitcases by college students every semester. The uses for plastic bags big and small are endless. Many of these bags can be used multiple times before being disposed of making them eco-friendly. Negligible Storage SpaceWhether your poly bags are stored flat, in rolls, etc… they do not require as much space as other packaging materials when not in use. Storage space is money in many industries. Poly bags take up very little volume allowing you to keep a larger supply on hand.
