Suffocation Warning Poly Bags

How to choose suffocation warning bags

Size

Poly bag sizes read width by length, and the width is the open end. Leave room for the item and for the seal. Amazon's bagging requirements say an FBA bag must not extend more than 3 in past the product.

Thickness

A mil is one thousandth of an inch. Every bag in the tables is clear LDPE film. Amazon's bagging requirements set a 1.5 mil minimum for FBA poly bags, so use the 1.5 or 2 mil bags for FBA prep. The 1 mil bags fit retail, kitting and warehouse bagging where that minimum does not apply.

Closure

The 1.5 mil bags close with a resealable adhesive strip: peel off the strip and fold the flap. The 1 and 2 mil bags are flat with an open end. Close them with tape or a heat sealer.

Vent holes

The 9 x 12, 10 x 15, 12 x 18 and 14 x 20 in resealable bags also come with two 1/4 in vent holes that let air escape. They carry the same printed warning.

Amazon FBA bag checklist

Amazon's bagging requirements page sets these rules for FBA poly bags.

The listings give the printed warning as: "WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep away from babies and children. Do not use in cribs, beds, carriages or playpens. The thin film may cling to nose and mouth and prevent breathing." It is printed in English, Spanish and French. Amazon's bagging requirements give a different required wording, ending "This bag is not a toy." If a bag does not carry that warning, Amazon says to apply a sticker with the warning text in a prominent spot.

Buying by the case

Resealable bags come 1,000 to a case up to 14 x 20 in and 500 to a case from 16 x 20 in. The 2 mil flat bags come 1,000 to a case up to 16 x 16 in and 500 from 18 x 24 in. The 1 mil bags come 1,000 to a case. Most sizes also sell in packs of 100. For each size, the table row is the in-stock pack that costs less per bag.

Volume pricing applies at checkout: 3% off 3 or more items and 5% off 6 or more, with a higher tier on some listings. Orders of one or two items get free ground shipping in the US at $99 or more when the checkout shipping charge is $29.95 or less. Orders of one or two items with a product subtotal of $500 or more ship free when the checkout freight rate is $120 or less. Orders of three or more items get the volume discount instead of free shipping. For pallet quantities, standing orders or mixed sizes, send the SKUs, case counts and delivery ZIP on a bulk quote.
