Things to Consider When Ordering Heavy-Duty Bags

Before ordering just any heavy-duty bags, there are several things to consider. Not only will the right bags protect the product inside, they also represent your brand. To maintain a good relationship with customers, it is essential that you choose the appropriate bags.

For one thing, you need to decide between custom and stock heavy duty bags. With custom heavy-duty bags, PolyPak America provides you with a specialized solution based on your exact needs. Therefore, if you need to ship bulky or extra-heavy products and highlight your brand through custom printing you may need to order a customized product.

Another consideration is how you are shipping your product and what distance. Again, for extra-heavy products, especially those shipped quite a distance resulting in multiple people handling the bags, you need something strong and durable. In this case, custom poly bags for shipping are an excellent choice. Customized bags that are capable of getting the product to the customer regardless of the location should be high on your list of priorities.

One thing to remember is that not all heavy-duty bags manufacturers are the same. While they may offer customers similar products, there are typically significant differences in the materials used and the manufacturing process. For that reason, you need to identify the one company that can create the type of bags that you want and need. PolyPak America has 45 years of experience and can help you make the right bag choice.

custom and stock heavy-duty bags

For example, if you ship gravel or asphalt, then you need a sturdy bag that will not rip or tear. However, you may also want bags with color or special printing to help them stand out. As a result, everyone who sees your product will recognize your company name and brand. Ultimately, the right custom poly bags for shipping will serve as a marketing tool that has a direct impact on the success of your business.

For stock and custom bags, you can choose from 0.5 to 2.0 cubic feet. When comparing the two choices, stock and custom, the primary difference is that customized bags are made specifically for your company, whereas stock bags are generic. Custom bags for decorative rocks, salt and ice melt, asphalt, and other products feature colors and lettering that coordinate with your brand.

“Environmentally Friendly and Recyclable” Marketing claims and Why You Should Care!

For quite some time now, “environmentally friendly” and “recyclable” have been buzzwords. Based on current statistics, roughly 67 percent of adults confirm they regularly recycle metal cans and aluminum. However, of the 33.6 million tons of plastic discarded each year in the United States, only 6.5 percent is recycled. There is a growing number of purported environmentally friendly plastic bag manufacturers hard at work to combat the problem of discarded plastic. These manufacturers produce a broad range of claimed “eco-friendly” plastic products from recycled plastic for both personal and business use. With the ever changing federal regulatory requirements as to what can be stated when making claims on your custom bag, PolyPak America has put together a brief overview of the various statements and claims that can be made to be in compliance with the FTC.
·         Eco-Friendly claims: This claim would not be deceptive if the statement “made with recycled materials” is clear and prominent: the manufacturer can substantiate that the entire product or package is made from recycled material; making the product with recycled materials makes the product more environmentally beneficial overall.
·         Biodegradable claims: It is deceptive to make an unqualified degradable claim for items entering the solid waste stream if the items do not completely decompose within one year after customary disposal. Unqualified degradable claims for items that are customarily disposed in landfills, incinerators, and recycling facilities are deceptive because these locations do not present conditions in which complete decomposition will occur within one year. An example of a qualified Biodegradable claim would be if there was subsequent language identifying the conditions that would result in the product degrading and under what conditions must exist for the product to biodegradable and over what time period.
