Poly Bags

Common Types of Poly Bags

June 9, 2022 by BigBagMartian

When it comes to buying bags for retail purposes, one of the most frequently used types is poly bags. The term poly bag itself can refer to any type of plastic bag. However, it typically refers to bags made from polyethylene. Polyethylene is one of the most used plastics in manufacturing and serves as a reliable and affordable material for bag creation. There are multiple varieties of plastic that go into the production of these bags, all with different advantages and purposes. Here are some of the primary types.

HDPE Poly Bags

High-density polyethylene serves as the most linear ethylene polymer used to make bags. This makes it the strongest and densest version of polyethylene for bag making. Its strength allows for a thinner/less expensive that can still hold the weight.  HDPE is typically used for grocery bags and bathroom trash can liners.  HDPE does have a tendency to rip when snagged.

LDPE Bags

A low-density polyethylene bag has a loose molecular structure, in contrast to HDPE. Low-density polyethylene (LPDE) bags have a looser molecular structure than HDPE bags. Bags made from LPDE are more flexible and have greater clarity. These bags are much less susceptible to ripping.

LLDPE Poly Bags

Slightly denser compared to LPDE bags, linear low-density polyethylene features a more linear structure during creation. That makes these bags more durable and with higher tensile strength. Commonly, produce bags in grocery stores use LLPDE materials. In these instances, the thinner material leads to lower material costs while still offering sufficient strength. Also, LLPDE bags also have less clarity compared to other bags.

Polypropylene Bags

Made from polymerized propylene, polypropylene bags are in their own category. Typically, it serves as the second-most used type of bag behind polyethylene. It features a clear appearance and high tensile strength. This makes it perfect for food packaging and electronics manufacturing. In addition, bags made from these materials help to keep items free from contaminants.  Polypropylene is much like cellophane and commonly used in baking and gift applications.  Its moisture-blocking properties are excellent for food preservation.

Promotional Bags

Advantages of Promotional Bags

May 25, 2022 by BigBagMartian

Brands are always looking for new ways to promote themselves. Whether it’s through social media or a special promotion, digital marketing plays an important role for a company. However, there are traditional options that work just as well. Using promotional shopping bags offers numerous advantages for businesses, and can help present yourself and your brand to large numbers of customers. Here is a look at some of the key benefits.

Enhanced Name Recognition

When you have a brand, you want to find ways that your clients will remember who you are and what you do. Having promotional bags makes this easier to do. As customers use your bags, others will become familiar with your brand and what you offer. This will lead to those potential clients recognizing your identity when it’s time to purchase.

Promotional Bags Have Value

Depending on the type of bag you have, they can last a significant amount of time. A reusable tote bag, for example, can be used for up to 6 years if properly cared for. When a bag is made with such durability, the brand on it gets enhanced exposure. In addition, depending on how often it’s used by a customer, it can lead to a high return on your investment.

Better Relationships

Having custom promotional bags doesn’t just serve as a way to remind others of your brand. They are also an impactful way to connect with your customers. Creating useful marketing items indicates you are aware of what your customers need and are willing to provide them with those items.

Promotional Bags Mean More Business

As mentioned, having custom promotional bags gives you higher visibility. This reach helps drive other people to your brand. A recent survey shows that 50% of people are more likely to do business with a company that offers promotional materials. They like receiving gifts and even a tote bag will help you stand out.

How Pallet Covers Help Businesses

May 11, 2022 by BigBagMartian

If your business has a warehouse full of inventory, you know how important it is to have it protected. There are a number of products available that allow you to protect your items while in storage. One of the most cost-efficient options available is pallet covers. These covers slip directly over pallets, helping protect your goods from various elements. Here are the benefits involved with pallet covers, as well as a look at the inventory at Bagmart.

Enhanced Protection

As mentioned, one of the biggest benefits that pallet covers offer is protection. These covers keep elements such as dust, moisture, and pollution away from your inventory. In addition, they offer insulation from humidity and prevent corrosion and scratching. Many of the covers we offer are waterproof and durable, meaning you get a solid return on your investment. And since they are made from high-quality materials, you know will get the best protection available. Plus, when compared to shrink film, they are easy to use and have the ability to be used multiple times.

Industrial Usage

Another benefit to pallet covers is that they have uses beyond warehouse storage. Many businesses rely on these covers to protect their goods. These include retail stores, chemical plants, food storage, and pharmaceutical companies. These covers are also helpful for companies that need to package items since they help provide protection during the shipping process.

Bagmart’s Pallet Covers

Bagmart features two distinct styles of pallet covers. Clear covers come in multiple sizes and thicknesses, all to match your specific needs. There is also a darker version that provides enhanced light protection. These include a UVI additive that protects items from UV light in addition to prolonging the life of the cover itself.

Bagmart’s single-use, food-grade liners can be switched out daily, ensuring your guests always have a clean transport method for ice. They also serve as small ice bags.

Stretch FIlm

Stretch Film Benefits for Business

March 17, 2022 by BigBagMartian

For businesses that deal with pallets of materials, using stretch film is an effective way to provide protection and packaging at an affordable cost. It is what it says: a stretchable plastic film that keeps products from being damaged while shipping. Damage may come as a result of incorrect handling, errant movement, or things based on the environment. There are specific benefits that come from adding stretch film to your business. Here are some of the advantages as well as a look at the inventory carried by Bagmart.

Superior Protection

Stretch film is the perfect solution for businesses that have large numbers of products that need to be secured. When used, they offer increased security, minimizing the possibility of shipping damage. For items stored outside, special UVI film protects items from UV rays. In addition, an opaque film blocks load contents which reduces cases of theft. It also prevents dist, moisture, and dirt from seeping into wrapped products.

Efficiency and Value

Along with the protection it provides, stretch film is an efficient way to wrap items. A stretch wrap machine, which automates the wrapping process, helps with making securing items a faster process. The film itself offers better packaging operations and inventory control while expanding the versatility of product loads. It is also a more economical option when compared to strapping, corrugated, or heat shrink film. On average, equipment for stretch wrap cost less than alternatives of the same caliber, and use less energy.

Bagmart’s Stretch Film

If your business needs film, come to Bagmart. We have film that can be wrapped both by hand and by machine. Our stretch film is available in a variety of sizes and colors. For movers, we also offer XP High-Performance Pre-Stretched Film. This film comes in lighter-weight rolls that are easier to use and at a lower cost without sacrificing performance. The special XP formulation eliminates the need to stretch film for the best results.

Bagmart’s Custom Bags: Frequently Asked Questions

March 2, 2022 by BigBagMartian

No matter if you have a large or small-sized business, the right bag makes all the difference. You want a high-quality bag that gives you the chance to display the products you have to offer. Bagmart carries a wide selection of bags for businesses that are designed to highlight your goods to consumers. In addition to our stock selection, we also do custom bags. These bags are perfect for when you need a special size or feature or want a logo included. Here are some things to consider regarding our custom bags.

How Long Does It Take?

Once you place your order and send a digital version of your artwork, Bagmart takes around a week to create a proof that we send to you for approval. Following this, it takes 4-6 weeks for production, then up to a week of shipping depending on your location. Typically, we ask customers to send their orders two months in advance from when the bags are needed.

What Sizes of Custom Bags Do You Create?

Depending on your needs, we likely can create bags of various sizes with the features you need. Whether it’s pleats that fold out to give you extra room, a die-cut handle, or zipper locking that prevents tampering, we give you the options you need. In terms of thickness, we can customize for this as well; just let us know in either mils or microns what size you are looking for. If you’re not quite sure of the specific size of the bag you need, you can tell us what is going in it. We also customize based on the materials you need, including standard polyethylene or bags similar to cellophane.

Do You Do Prints?

Bagmart can add your custom graphics to our bags. All you need to do is send an e-mail with the artwork in a digital format (most of our vendors use Vector Art). Typically, printing is charged on a per color/per side basis. This means if you use fewer colors and only print on one side, you save money on printing costs.

How Many Custom Bags Can You Do?

While it depends on the bag, the manufacturing plant will usually require a minimum of 5,000 bags. This can be modified based on numerous factors, including the bag type and size. If you are in need of fewer bags, an option may be to get an unprinted bag and apply labels manually or reach out to a printer offering “hot stamping”.

Storage Bags
