Materials Used to Make Bags |
|
Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) |
|
Polyethylene is the most commonly used
plastic in the world. Low Density
Polyethylene is the material used in
most poly bags mainly because it
provides great strength, clarity and
flexibility. |
| |
|
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) |
| High
Density or HD bags are made out of a
thin and light substance, which helps to
lower cost of the bags as well as the
freight. High Density bags are not as
clear as Low Density poly bags however
they are very strong, tear-resistant,
and stiff. These bags are both
strong and economical. |

|
Cellophane: |
|
Cellophane offers excellent film clarity
for display. The cellophane film works
as a barrier to preserve aromas and
keeps food fresh. Cellophane also
enhances appearance of products.
Cellophane however is not recommended
for use in extreme temperatures. |
| |
|
Polypropylene: |
|
Polypropylene has the highest clarity
available. This is an excellent material
to protect against moisture and vapors.
It is suitable for food, crafts, photos,
cards, and scented products.
Polypropylene is the preferred option
for display. |
