Application Guide and Size Charts
Jiffy® Mailers are designed to be a cost efficient alternative to corrugated cartons by reducing shipping cost, reducing labor costs, and reducing inventory requirements. Please use the below application guide and size chart to determine which of these mailers would be right for you.
Standard Poly Bags
Plain flat and side-gussetted polyethylene bags are the basic bags used for packaging. Many are FDA grade, approved for food contact. They can be manufactured from a variety of polyethylene resins and resin blends to provide the most economical bag for specific applications. Sizes can be as small as 2" x 2" or large enough to enclose large pallets of material or cover large pieces of machinery. (See FAQs for more Information)
In addition to standard flat and side-gusseted bags, other constructions are available, such as bottom-gusseted bags, bags with lips, bags with fold-over tops, bags with comportments or pockets. etc. Bags may be available as individual bags, as bags on rolls, as wicketted bags, as bags on staple packs, and more. As they are manufactured, many of the poly bags can be printed with anything from simple text to photographic quality images.
We have thousands of sizes, gauges, and styles of poly bags available. Contact us for your specific needs.
Re-Closable Bags
Our Zippit® reclosable bags offer clear advantages to you....
The white zipper on our stock bags quickly identifies the location of the zipper and enhances the bag's appearance.
The wide white zipper on our stock bags, combined with the two-track profile of the zipper, provides a more secure closure that remains easy to open.
Gripper lines on the lip of our bags make them easier to hold.
Standard Zippit® bags are packaged in a "tissue style dispenser bog. They are tidy for storage, yet it's easy to pull out one bog of o time.
Other bags for specialty uses are also available. such as optical Zippit®l bags, medical Zippit® bags, and 3-compartment Kangaroo` bags. If a standard bag isn't available that fills your needs. we can create a custom bag to your requirements.
Trash Can Liners
We carry a wide variety of plastic trash can liners. Bags are available in many different sizes, strengths, materials, and colors and may be folded or on rolls. The development of high performance resins and improved manufacturing techniques has made bags stronger while they have become thinner. In addition to lining trash and waste receptacles, bags can also be used to contain powders or other materials in cartons or drums, as dust covers, for surface protection, or to solve a myriad of other problems. Let us help you... we have bags available for almost any conceivable use.
While the range of liner sizes, gauges and types can be overwhelming, choosing the correct liner is normally as easy as 1-2-3.
1. Determine the proper material (resin) for your application. The two most commonly used materials are Linear Low Density (LLDPE) and High Density (HDPE). LLDPE offers good puncture resistance and should be used if you have sharp objects in your trash. HDPE is more cost effective if your trash is soft and unlikely to poke through a bag.
2. Determine the correct size. Many trash containers have the gallon size printed right on the container itself. If you don't know the container capacity, use the method outlined in question #2 "How Do I Determine Correct Bag Size?' in the Poly Bag FAQs.
3. Determine how much weight the liner will need to hold. Don't forget to allow for the extra weight if you have wet trash.
In some situations you may have additional requirements, such as FDA grade bags or bags printed for medical waste or colored bags to obscure the contents or anti-static bags, etc.
