Bag Types

A Gusseted Lay Flat Bag is a plastic bag with a triangle shaped pleat on both sides of the bag. These gussets allow the bag to expand out, giving more room for bulky, large or square items. The gusset is considered to be the depth of the bag. For example, a 6″ x 3″ x 7″ bag would be 6 inches wide by 3 inches deep by 7 inches long.

Bags on a Roll (BOR) – Also described as Perfed on Roll Bags (POR) are bags that are wound on 3″ diameter core. They come in 2 varieties: Open-End first or Sealed-End first. By default we produce bags Open-End first.

THREE SIDE SEALED POUCH BAG

Side Seal Bags are bags that have the seals on the side instead of the bottom. They are measured width x length (both in inches).

Vacuum Pouch Bags

Wicketed Bags are bags that are held together by either a wire wicket or a cardboard header staple pack. This type of bag has the same measurement as a layflat bag but there is also a lip measurement. Staple pack bags have a perforated lip. These are used in high volume, semi-automated packaging applications, small parts packaging & food service.

Reclosable Bags (Zipper Bags) are closed at the top by squeezing the interlocking zipper together. Many brandnames such as ZipLock, Reloc, or MiniGrip describe this type of bag. Applications include small parts, meical, or food service.

Preopened Bags on a Roll are designed to run on automated and semi-automated bagging equipment. These bags are used mostly for small parts.
