Plastic Zip lock Bags

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Plastic zip lock bags are a great bag to store any type of item that needs to be sealed.  The seal on our zip lock bags creates an almost perfect barrier that are perfect for perishable items that you want to store for up to a week.

We would not recommend the use of zip lock bags if you want to maintain the consistency of an item for longer than a week.  Zip lock bags are also perfect for small items such as nails, nuts, bolts, small jewelry, or anything else that is small and needs to have a seal that can open and reclose.  This is why zip lock bags are called re closable bags.

Zip lock bags typically come in 2 mil and 4 mil.  2 mil zip lock bags are good for everyday items that do not have sharp end or have significant weight.  4 mil zip lock bags are for heavier items or items that have sharp edges.  That standard stock sizes of zip lock bags range from 2 x 3 al the way up to 18 x 20.  Usually after that zip lock bags will need to be custom made if you want a larger size or gauge.  Another type of zip lock bag is a zip lock bag with a write on white block.  This enables you to write on the zip lock bag, so you know what the contents are inside.

Zip lock bags can also be custom printed.  Custom printed zip lock bags can be printed up to 8 colors including process print.

Composting your lawn leaves, the easy way

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Here is a neat idea to get the best use out of your plastic bag. You can compost your lawn leaves very easily by using a plastic bag, no compost bin required! Leaf compost (also called leaf mold) returns nitrogen, carbon and micronutrients to your soil, adds valuable organic matter and helps soil retain moisture better. Make sure to use black plastic bags like the garbage bags we offer under our industrial section. Here is how to do it:
trash-bagsFirst: Let your mower do the heavy work. A lawn mower sucks up leaves off the lawn, chops them up into small pieces that decompose fast and mixes them with grass clippings, which further help to the decomposition process.

Second: Take a large, heavy-duty black plastic bag and make several holes in it. Transfer the leaf pieces from the mower into this bag. You can fill the plastic bag ¾ of the way full. Add a shovel-full of garden soil. If the leaves are dry, you also need to add water. Basically, the whole mixture should feel like the muddy path in the park right after a rainy afternoon. Make sure that even the leaves at the bottom of the plastic bag have the correct moisture level.

Finally, loosely tie the top of the plastic garbage bags and put it aside in your yard or any other convenient but airy place. Every couple of weeks, give the plastic bag a shake. After about 6 months, open up the bag and check on the leaf compost. If it is dark, powdery and you can’t see any leaf particles, it’s finished. If you can still identify leaves, tie the bag up again, give it a good shake and wait a few more months.black-light-gauge-trash-liners

Packaging your products

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Product packaging may seem a trivial part of the promotion experience, but it can be the most important part of your product presentation. You display your product to the customer through its packaging in the same way that you make yourself up to present yourself to the world every day. The way you package your product is worth more than a thousand words when convincing your customers to go for your product. Everything needs to be taken into account: the shape, size, and appearance of the packaging, color and design, the convenience of using the packaging, etc.

There are many ways to package and label products. One of the most efficient ways is to print colorful logos and product information on the packaging itself. You can brand everything from the boxes, tissue paper, poly bags, ribbons, even the tape you use to seal everything together. But before you go crazy, let’s start with the basics. The first thing to consider is the nature of your product. Here is a quick guideline for the most common situations:

Crystal Clear Polypropylene Bags

Crystal Clear Polypropylene Bags

Does your product need to keep the aromas or moisture? The best film to package candy, flours, dried flowers, candles, or any product with scents is definitely polypropylene and cello. These bags have outstanding moisture and vapor barrier which extends the shelf life of the items like aromatic candles or food. Please check our vast inventory of polypropylene bags.
All these products can be customized and printed.

Do you need faster packing and great looks? Consider using wicketted printed poly bags with serrations for fast tear off and heat sealing after loading. Check our portfolio for more ideas.

When you are ready to custom print your poly bags, please make sure to request FDA approved plastic. If your product must be kept in the freezer, we can add EVA (an additive that won’t allow the plastic to stick to your product while frozen)
Every product has its particularities, remember we are here to help you find the best packaging for your products.
