Synopsis

In the plastic bag industry, it’s crucial to specify the right gauge for the bags you’re ordering. Before specifying a bag’s thickness, think about:

• The item the bag will contain. Consider the size of the item, as well as its weight. For example, a heavy, medium-sized item would require a thicker gauge than a light, large-sized item. • How much protection the bag should provide for the item. If the item is delicate or easily scratched, use a thicker gauge. • The length of time the bag will be used. If you want the bag to be reusable, specify a gauge of at least 2 mils (.002”).
