In the competitive world of dry cleaning, every detail matters — not just the quality of your service, but the way your brand is presented from start to finish. One of the most overlooked yet impactful tools at your disposal? Custom branded dry cleaning bags.

At Atlantic Poly, Inc., we specialize in supplying high-quality plastic packaging products for businesses across industries, including professional dry cleaners. And we've seen firsthand how something as simple as a printed garment bag can elevate a company’s image, create customer loyalty, and even drive new business.

First Impressions Last

When a customer picks up their freshly cleaned clothing, the presentation matters. A clear, well-printed poly bag with your logo, contact information, and brand colors not only looks professional — it reinforces the trust your clients place in you. Instead of a generic plastic bag, custom branding creates a polished experience that shows attention to detail.

Walking Advertisements

Think about how many people see that bag before it’s discarded or recycled — in your store, in the car, on the customer’s arm. Each one acts as a mobile advertisement for your business. With smart design and clear branding, your dry cleaning bags can increase visibility in your local community without spending a dime on traditional advertising.

Consistency Builds Trust

In any service business, consistency equals professionalism. When your branded materials — including dry cleaning bags — match the tone and visual identity of your website, signage, and promotional materials, it communicates stability and care. Clients are more likely to return to and recommend a business that looks polished and consistent.

Functional Branding

Custom dry cleaning bags don’t just promote your brand — they protect your product. Our poly garment bags at Atlantic Poly are designed to shield clothing from dust, moisture, and handling damage. With options for vented or non-vented bags, various gauges, and multiple size formats, you get packaging that’s as practical as it is professional.

Easy to Order, Easy to Customize

At Atlantic Poly, we make the process of creating your custom branded dry cleaning bags simple and cost-effective. Whether you're looking for low minimum orders or high-volume runs, our U.S.-based production and decades of packaging experience ensure you get the best solution for your business — on time and on budget.

In healthcare settings, proper disposal of medical waste is essential not only to maintain a clean environment but also to protect healthcare workers, patients, and the community at large. Plastic medical bags play a crucial role in this process by safely containing and segregating hazardous waste materials.

Medical waste includes anything from used syringes and gloves to blood-soaked dressings and pharmaceutical materials. If not managed properly, these materials can pose serious health risks, including the spread of infections and contamination of the environment. That’s where high-quality plastic medical bags come into play.

Plastic medical bags provide a reliable, durable barrier that prevents leaks and exposure to biohazards during collection, transportation, and disposal. Designed to meet stringent regulatory standards, these bags often come in various colors and thicknesses to help healthcare facilities easily identify and separate different types of waste, enhancing both safety and compliance.

At Atlantic Poly, Inc., we specialize in manufacturing customized plastic medical bags that are engineered for strength, puncture resistance, and chemical stability. Our products are designed to withstand the rigors of medical waste handling, minimizing the risk of tears and spills that could compromise safety protocols.

In addition to safety, using the right plastic medical bags streamlines waste management procedures. Properly sealed and color-coded bags ensure that waste is easily sorted and handled by waste management professionals, reducing errors and improving overall efficiency.

In today’s healthcare environment, where infection control is paramount, choosing the right plastic medical bags is a critical component of your waste disposal strategy. Atlantic Poly, Inc. is committed to providing medical facilities with trusted, compliant, and effective plastic bag solutions that safeguard health and support environmental responsibility.

In the world of power generation, performance and durability are everything. Whether it’s a standby unit for emergencies or a primary power source in remote locations, generators need to operate efficiently and reliably — often under demanding conditions. One critical but often overlooked component in ensuring this reliability is the shroud — specifically, custom poly shrouds.

At Atlantic Poly, Inc., we’ve seen firsthand how properly designed poly shrouds can improve generator cooling, reduce wear and tear, and ultimately extend the life of your equipment.

Optimizing Airflow, Minimizing Heat

Generators produce a tremendous amount of heat during operation. Without proper airflow management, internal temperatures can rise quickly — leading to overheating, system shutdowns, or even permanent damage. A poly shroud helps direct and optimize airflow over and around critical components such as radiators, alternators, and exhaust systems.

Unlike generic or poorly fitted metal housings, custom poly shrouds can be engineered to fit precisely within your system, ensuring that cooling air is delivered exactly where it’s needed most. This kind of targeted airflow boosts efficiency and supports stable, long-term operation.

Why Poly?

Polyethylene and polypropylene materials are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to mold into complex shapes. This makes them ideal for shrouds that need to fit snugly in tight or uniquely shaped spaces. Unlike metal, poly won’t rust or degrade when exposed to moisture, fuel vapors, or industrial chemicals — which is especially important for outdoor or mobile generator units.

Because poly shrouds are lighter than their metal counterparts, they also reduce overall system weight, making them an excellent choice for portable generators or equipment mounted on vehicles or trailers.

Reducing Maintenance and Downtime

By controlling airflow and shielding critical components from dirt, debris, and moisture, a poly shroud doesn’t just support cooling — it protects your generator from environmental stress. This added protection helps reduce the frequency of maintenance, prevent damage to fan blades or belts, and minimize the risk of sudden failures.

That means less downtime, fewer repair costs, and longer intervals between servicing, all of which contribute to the long-term value of your investment.

Built for Performance — Made to Last

At Atlantic Poly, Inc., we specialize in custom-made poly shrouds that are tailored to your specifications and performance requirements. Whether you're outfitting a new generator system or replacing outdated components, we’ll help you design a solution that improves airflow, supports thermal efficiency, and holds up under pressure.

Ready to Upgrade Your Equipment?

If your generator system could benefit from improved cooling and longer-lasting performance, contact the team at Atlantic Poly, Inc. to learn more about our custom poly shroud capabilities. We’ll help you create a solution that keeps your equipment running cooler, cleaner, and longer.

In fast-paced work environments where efficiency, organization, and durability matter, poly pocket bags have quickly become a must-have solution for businesses across nearly every industry. At Atlantic Poly, Inc., we supply high-quality poly pocket bags designed to meet the demands of industrial, commercial, educational, and office settings. But what exactly are poly pocket bags—and what makes them so widely used?

Pocket bags are clear or colored polyethylene sleeves or pouches used to store, protect, and display documents, labels, instructions, work orders, and small items. They often come with features like adhesive backing, magnetic strips, hook-and-loop closures, or grommets for easy attachment to bins, machines, shelves, or walls. Their primary purpose is to protect documents from dust, dirt, grease, and moisture while keeping important information visible and accessible.

So, why are they so popular?

First, it’s their versatility. Poly pocket bags can be used in manufacturing plants to display safety instructions, in warehouses to label inventory racks, in hospitals to protect patient information, or in schools to organize classroom materials. Their applications are endless, and they can be adapted to almost any environment.

Second, poly pocket bags are durable. Made from tough polyethylene, these bags resist tearing, moisture, and exposure to harsh conditions. Unlike paper folders or vinyl sleeves that break down over time, poly pocket bags hold up even in high-traffic, high-use settings.

Another major reason for their popularity is efficiency. With easy-open flaps, resealable closures, and customizable sizes and formats, these bags help streamline processes. Workers can quickly identify the contents without opening the bag, keeping workflows smooth and organized.

In today’s industries, where compliance, labeling, and information sharing are critical, having a simple, reusable solution like a poly pocket bag can make a big difference. They're a small product with a big impact—and a favorite across sectors for good reason.

At Atlantic Poly, we offer a wide range of poly pocket bags that can be tailored to your specific needs. Whether you're looking for adhesive-backed pockets for equipment labeling, color-coded bags for inventory control, or magnetic holders for metal surfaces, we've got you covered.

At Atlantic Poly, Inc., we’ve seen how smart packaging can make all the difference when it comes to grabbing attention—and making the sale. That’s why sideweld poly bags are a go-to choice for retailers looking to elevate their point-of-sale (POS) displays.

What makes sideweld bags so effective? It starts with their sleek, durable design. The sealed sides and bottom provide a clean, structured look that presents products in a professional and organized way. Whether you're showcasing accessories, hardware, small electronics, or promotional items, sideweld bags keep contents visible, contained, and protected—all while allowing your branding or labels to shine.

They also offer customization that works at the shelf level. With options like hang holes, headers, perforations, or custom printing, sideweld bags are easy to integrate into retail hooks, bins, or impulse-buy displays. This makes it easier for customers to see, reach, and choose your product.

From high clarity film to custom sizes and gauges, sideweld poly bags offer retailers a cost-effective, versatile solution that enhances product appeal while maintaining protection and convenience.

Looking to improve your packaging and display strategy? Atlantic Poly, Inc. is ready to help you create custom sideweld bags tailored to your product and retail environment.

When shipping metal components or finished goods across borders, one of the biggest challenges manufacturers face is corrosion. Exposure to fluctuating temperatures, humidity, and salt air during transit can quickly compromise the integrity of valuable parts—especially during ocean freight or long-term storage. That’s where VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) bags come in.

At Atlantic Poly, we specialize in providing high-performance VCI bags that do more than just protect—they help your business stay compliant with global shipping standards and avoid costly delays or damaged inventory.

Why Compliance Matters

International shipping requires strict adherence to packaging and material standards, especially for metal goods. Certain export destinations (like the EU, Asia, and the Middle East) have regulations around corrosion protection and environmental safety. Improper packaging not only puts your products at risk but can also result in non-compliance, customs issues, or rejections at the port of entry.

🛡 How VCI Bags Solve the Problem

Our VCI bags release a safe, invisible vapor that forms a molecular barrier on metal surfaces. This barrier protects against moisture, salt, and other corrosion triggers—without the need for messy oils or greases. The result is clean, dry, and protected parts that meet international shipping requirements and customer expectations.

At Atlantic Poly, Inc., we understand the growing demand for environmentally responsible packaging. As businesses and consumers alike prioritize sustainability, custom-printed packaging solutions must evolve to meet these expectations. That’s why we offer a range of eco-friendly printed poly bags designed to reduce environmental impact while keeping your branding sharp and professional.

Choosing Sustainability Without Sacrificing Quality

Switching to eco-friendly packaging isn't just about doing the right thing—it’s also a smart business decision. Today’s consumers are more environmentally aware than ever, often favoring brands that show a commitment to reducing waste and promoting sustainability. Printed poly bags provide a unique opportunity to pair your message with materials that align with your values, all without compromising performance, durability, or visual appeal.

Eco-Friendly Options from Atlantic Poly

Our most popular sustainable option is the recycled poly bag. These are made from post-consumer or post-industrial recycled materials, offering the same level of protection and flexibility as traditional bags while supporting a circular economy.

In industries where cleanliness, compliance, and precision are non-negotiable, cleanroom packaging plays a critical role in protecting sensitive components and materials. At Atlantic Poly, Inc., we specialize in providing custom cleanroom bags that meet strict regulatory standards while offering the flexibility you need for unique applications. When it comes to customization—especially sizing and printing—getting it right is essential to ensure optimal performance, compliance, and usability.

The first step in designing custom cleanroom bags is understanding your cleanroom’s ISO Class level and any relevant industry-specific guidelines, such as FDA, USP <797>, or EU GMP standards. These requirements influence the materials, manufacturing processes, and packaging environments suitable for your application. Atlantic Poly offers bags manufactured under ISO-certified conditions to ensure compliance and quality from the outset.

Precise sizing goes beyond convenience, it helps minimize material waste, reduces the risk of contamination, and ensures that your products fit securely without excess air or unnecessary packaging. To get sizing right, it’s important to determine the exact length, width, and depth your bags require, along with the appropriate thickness to balance protection with flexibility. The type of closure, whether open-ended, zip-top, or heat sealable, should also be considered in your design. If you need assistance, Atlantic Poly’s technical team is ready to analyze your needs and recommend the perfect size based on your product dimensions and handling processes.

Custom printing on cleanroom bags is more than just branding; it plays a vital role in traceability, batch control, barcoding, and regulatory labeling. Our cleanroom-compatible printing solutions ensure that inks and printing processes do not compromise the sterility or cleanliness of the bags. Whether you need custom logos, lot or batch codes, barcodes, QR codes, handling instructions, or color-coded identification zones, Atlantic Poly provides printing options designed to maintain the integrity of your packaging and your product.

Partnering with a trusted manufacturer like Atlantic Poly means working with a team that understands the demands of cleanroom environments. We collaborate closely with clients in biotech, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and aerospace to deliver high-quality, custom-engineered cleanroom bags produced in cleanroom-compatible environments. Our in-house experts guide you through every step, from design and prototyping to production, ensuring your packaging performs flawlessly every time.
