Additions and Modifications

We are able to supply poly bags to your specific requirements, including additional treatments and additives to guard against potential sources of harm to your products. These additions and modifications include:

Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) free - ideal for dry cleaning or clothing bags as it keeps items clean and prevents discolouration (yellowing).
Perf Holes (perforated holes/micro-vents) - ideal for food and catering industries.
Watertight seal - ideal for aquatics industries, food packaging, and storing electronics.
Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) additive - ideal for freezer use.
UV Inhibitor additive - ideal for preventing the bag content from being spoiled by ultraviolet light.
Anti-static additive - ideal for the electronics industry.
Low slip bags - easier grip of the bag and better handling.
High slip bags - slide for ease of movement during handling process (so a large stack of bags can easily be taken apart and the bags quickly detached from one another).

Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Plastic Bags

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) resins are commonly used when making plastic bags for food packaging and other utility bags. The LDPE polymer has short side branches, which means that its molecules are less tightly packed, giving it its lower density.

Key Characteristics

The process of making bags out of the LDPE polymer results in a light-weight and flexible yet tough and durable plastic bag.

Furthermore, the way they are manufactured allows the bags to be clear and see-through, perfect for applications in which you need to see inside the bag. Another great feature of LDPE bags is that they are waterproof. This makes them very good at keeping moisture in, as well as keeping it out, depending on your needs.

Uses

Due to the versatility of the low density polyethylene bags, such as its flexibility, durability, lightweight qualities and waterproof qualities, they have a variety of uses. This includes applications in a lot of commercial and food industries, being used as bin bags and food bags.
