The right Specifications for a Flat Poly Bag
Before placing an order for a flat poly bag from TDI Custom Packaging, it’s crucial to gather precise specifications. These measurements require width, length, and gauge.
Width and Length
Importantly, you will need to measure the right width and length, because a correct fit is crucial. With a custom bag that is too tight for especially bulkier products, you may have to force contents inside. On the other hand, excessive space could lead to items sliding around causing potential damage.
Ensure the dimensions are as accurate as possible, even down to one-tenth of an inch! Additionally, exclude the area beyond the skirt or the side seams, and focus solely on the usable portion of the bag.
Gauge or Thickness
The gauge of a poly bag refers to its thickness, typically measured in mils (1 mil = o.oo1 inch) or microns (1 µ= o.oo1 millimeter).
Generally, gauge determines the strength and durability of the bag, with a higher gauge indicating a thicker and more robust material.
