Frequently asked

What mil does Amazon FBA require?

1.5 mil minimum for suffocation-warning poly bags. 2 mil is the practical default that most sellers use.

Is thicker always better?

No — thicker bags cost more, take more storage space, and don't add value for light items. Match mil to product weight and sharpness.

How do I pick between flat and gusseted?

Flat for thin items (apparel, documents). Gusseted for thicker items (bottles, boxes) — the gusset lets the bag expand to match the contents.
