The perfect businesses for branded bags

Printed Poly Bags, or branded plastic bags, are useful for many different industries.

Dry cleaners, grocery stores and deli’s are perfect examples of businesses that can use branded plastic bags. Atlantic Poly’s Clear Dry Cleaning bags are made with hanger holes and sloped shoulders. In roll form for easy dispensing, dry cleaning bags are perfect for protection from dust and dirt, and keeping clothes wrinkle free!

For grocery store chains and retail stores, Atlantic Poly supplies both reusable and recyclable plastic grocery and shopping bags.  For the best effect, the print needs to be bold and legible, and the message should be easy to read from a distance.

As you already know, plastic bags are easier on the environment than paper. Atlantic Poly is where you can find gallon sized pleated plastic bags that are even easier on the environment than most. The uses and markets for polyethylene or poly bags are virtually endless. We have many sized and styles of plastic bags in stock too.

Atlantic Poly's layflat and gusseted bags are the perfect blend of technology and source reduction. They are made with 100% renewable energy from sources like wind and solar power. Our eco-conscious line is fully recyclable, completely non-toxic and performs so well, that you can feel confident using lighter gauge bags. It’s easy to source reduce with Atlantic Poly's layflat and gusseted bags.

Atlantic Poly medium and large layflat and gusseted bags are made from proprietary formulations. These plastic bags are engineered to provide three times the impact and twice the tensile strength of traditional low density polyethylene bags. They are formulated to provide better performance at lower gauges. That makes Atlantic Poly's layflat and gusseted bags easy on the environment, too.

Lighter density plastic bags are a good choice for items that are not heavy and require only a basic shield from their nearby environmental surroundings. Heavy density poly bags keep your goods safe from harm in more abusive environments where dirt, dust, moisture, and motion could damage your goods.

If you are looking for gallon size plastic bags, or any other size, contact Atlantic Poly.

We want you to know that Atlantic Poly is a steward of the earth's environment in that we work very hard to maximize the use of recycled source material throughout our entire supply process. This blog will focus on the product nature and recycling promise of two of our primary products: Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
 
LDPE is the basic compound of original commercial use of polyethylene. LPDE is characterized by good toughness, resistance to chemicals, flexibility and clarity. It's an excellent material in low heat electrical and chemical applications. LDPE is a flexible plastic which makes it a very versatile product with a wide range of commercial applications. In recent years, LDPE versatility improved as it emerged as a commonly accepted recyclable product. The average household today utilizes an assortment of recycled LDPE products to include:
 
• Trash can liners
• Compost bins
• Shipping envelopes
• Paneling
• Lumber
• Landscaping ties
• Floor tile
 
HDPE is more rigid and harder than lower density materials. It also has higher tensile strength; four times that of low-density polyethylene. It is three times better in compressive strength and meets FDA requirements for direct food contact applications. HDPE is a versatile plastic with many uses, especially for packaging. It carries low risk of leaching and is readily recyclable into many goods such as:
 
• Laundry detergent bottles
• Oil bottles
• Pens
• Recycling container
• Floor tile
• Drainage pipe
• Lumber
• Benches
• Picnic tables
• Fencing
 
It is important to us that you understand that Atlantic Poly is doing our part to protect the environment through our use of recycled products in our processes. We also encourage you to consider recycling not only the common household items listed here, but any and all products that you notice marked with the "recyclable" label.

Because there is an increasing need these days to remind consumers of your business, business owners need to use all avenues to remain top-of-mind. Custom printed poly bags are a great and effective solution.

Bags are needed for numerous and various purposes and the available standard sizes of bags sometimes falls short in meeting the requirements. Atlantic Poly is the answer.
