Using a shipping bag can make the job much easier in the shipping industry. When your company is constantly shipping items out, you want to use a reliable product. Western Packaging sells shipping bags made out of polypropylene and can provide you with the confidence you need in your bags. There are more than 50 different sizes available for you to choose from.
What Are Shipping Bags Used For?
When choosing a shipping bag that is right for your company, you need to consider many different things. Such as what you will be putting inside of it, how heavy it is, what size it is, and the type of transportation it will be enduring. These factors can help you make the best decision for your business as possible.
The pp bags can give your bags and the products inside them protection from rain, moisture, UV rays, dust, and more. They can also help reduce the amount of shifting in the shipping process. Sometimes, these bags sit on store shelves for a while and get moved around; you want them to be able to hold up through the process. Some examples of what is put in these bags are:
- Cement
- Soil, Mulch, and Fertilize
- Gravel and Sa
- Dog Food
- Cat Food and Cat Litter
- Goat Feed and Pig Feed
- Horse Feed
- Chicken Feed and Bird Seed
- Aquatic Materials
- Maize, Rice, and Flour
- And So Much More
Types Of Shipping Bags
There are a couple of decisions you have when it comes to a shipping bag. They also come in various dimensions to make sure you are getting something that is going to work for your needs. Some of the different choices that you have are:
- Standard- Standard bags are chosen most commonly for feed and grain purposes. They offer you a strong, durable, and reliable product to trust during the shipping process of your product.
- Laminated- Laminated bags add a little more strength and protection to your bags. This is an excellent option if you need something a little more resistant than the standard bags.
- Paper Laminated- Paper laminated offers more protection from moisture, UV rays, and dust particles. The layered design of the packaging gives it more strength and durability.
Each bag is made with polypropylene and allows the packaging to be flexible. They can also withstand the moving, tossing, and pressure that they will endure during shipping. The puncture-resistant material is a lifesaver in these situations.
Key Takeaways
- Shipping bags keep products dry and clean during transit.
- Polypropylene is strong without adding extra weight.
- The right-sized bag prevents spills and tears.
- Laminated styles are better suited to outdoor storage.
- Printing on the bag keeps product details in place.
Practical Things We See Every Day
Bags speed up the packing line. One person can fill and close a bag in seconds. Boxes slow everything down.
We see fewer torn packages with woven bags. Cardboard gets soft when it sits in damp air, and thin plastic rips when a pallet shifts. Woven material flexes instead of splitting.
Space is another big difference. Empty boxes stack up and take up space, but empty bags fold flat and fit in a small space.
The weather is another issue we hear about a lot. Loads sit on docks in the rain or under the hot sun. Paper sacks can soften in a few hours. Poly bags handle that better and are still open and clean when it is time to unload.
Printed bags save headaches. Paper labels fall off when loads rub against each other, but when product info is printed on the bag, it stays.
The shop stays cleaner. There’s no cardboard dust and no piles of broken boxes to haul out.
Shipping costs drop for some customers. Bags weigh less than boxes, so more product fits on a truck. Over time, that can lower the freight bill.
Most customers care about one thing above all: that the bag doesn’t break. A split bag means lost product and a mess to clean up.
