Food Service

Supply Tie bags for food handling and counter service: gusseted poly bags from 2.5 in. up through 8 in. wide, wicketed poly bags on a header for one-handed loading, flip-top sandwich bags, and clear stand-up pouches with a bottom gusset. Gauge is the decision most people get backwards — 0.75 to 1.5 mil is right for a sandwich or a bakery item that gets handled once, 2 mil and up for anything with a corner or a bone in it. Gusseted bags are listed width x gusset x length, and the gusset is what lets the bag stand and take a loaf or a deli container without stressing the seams. Wicketed bags run 1000 per carton on the wicket so a packer can strip one off without opening a box.
