Poly Bag Sizes and Thickness Hub
Pick a poly bag by size and mil thickness
Use this hub to land on the right poly bag size and mil for your item. Match dimensions in the size charts, then step up the thickness if you're shipping hardware, parts, or anything heavier than apparel.
Packrift stocks 1, 1.5, 2, 4, and 6 mil clear LDPE poly bags in 50+ dimension and thickness combinations.
Start with the size chart for your mil, then confirm bundle quantity on the linked product page before ordering.

Fit / not the right fit
Packrift is a good fit if you ship apparel, hardware, parts, or moisture-sensitive items inside an outer box, and you want stock LDPE poly bags by size and mil.
Packrift is not the right fit for FDA direct-food-contact bags, custom-printed bags, anti-static (ESD) bags as your only inventory line, or buyers who need 24/7 phone support.
FAQ
What mil should I use?
2 mil for apparel and soft goods, 4 mil for hardware and small parts, 6 mil for industrial or sharp-edge items. The poly bag thickness selector takes item type and returns a recommendation.
Are these FDA-approved for food?
The poly bags in this hub are general-purpose LDPE, not FDA direct-food-contact certified. For direct food contact, source FDA-grade poly bags separately.
Can I order one bag, or do I have to buy a full bundle?
Packrift sells in the bundle quantity shown on each product page (commonly 100, 500, or 1,000). There is no further minimum beyond the listed bundle.
Are anti-static bags in this hub?
No. This hub indexes clear LDPE poly bags. Anti-static (ESD-shielding) bags are a separate category that Packrift doesn't stock as a primary line.
Where does Packrift ship from?
Five US warehouse regions: Central Illinois, Northeast Pennsylvania, South Texas, Southeast Georgia, and West California. Each order routes to the closest warehouse with stock.
