Custom flip top poly bags can be a practical packaging option for businesses that need a convenient way to package, protect, and present their products. However, choosing the right bag involves more than simply selecting a size. The product being packaged, how the bag will be handled, and the desired presentation can all affect the final specifications.

Before ordering custom flip top poly bags from Atlantic Poly, Inc., consider the following factors.

Start With the Product

The product should determine many of the bag's specifications. Consider its dimensions, shape, weight, and whether it has sharp edges or other features that could affect the packaging.

A bag that is too small may be difficult to load, while an unnecessarily large bag can use more material than needed and may not provide the desired presentation.

Choose the Appropriate Material and Thickness

Different products and applications may require different levels of protection. The type and thickness of polyethylene used can affect the bag's strength, flexibility, clarity, and overall performance.

Think about how the packaged product will be handled, stored, and transported when determining the appropriate material specifications.

Consider the Flip Top Design

One of the main advantages of a flip top poly bag is its convenient opening and closing design. Consider how frequently the bag will be opened, whether the product needs to be accessed after packaging, and how the closure will be used during handling.

The right design can make packaging easier for employees while also providing customers with convenient access to the product.

Think About Product Visibility

For products that benefit from being seen before purchase, clear polyethylene can provide visibility while helping protect the contents from dust, dirt, and handling.

If appearance is important to your packaging strategy, consider how the bag's clarity, dimensions, and overall design will display the product.

Determine Whether Custom Printing Is Needed

Custom printing can help identify products, communicate information, or reinforce a company's branding. Depending on the application, you may want to include a logo, product information, handling instructions, or other relevant details.

Planning the artwork and printing requirements early can help ensure the finished bags meet both packaging and presentation needs.

Consider Your Order Volume

Your expected usage should also be part of the decision. Think about how many bags you need initially and whether the same specifications will be used for future orders.

Having a clear estimate of your packaging requirements can make it easier to select a practical custom bag solution for your business.

Find the Right Custom Flip Top Poly Bags

The right custom poly bag should fit the product, perform well during handling, and support your packaging goals. Size, material, thickness, closure style, visibility, printing, and order requirements are all worth considering before placing an order.
