What Are Poly Bags with a Lip?
Poly bags with a lip are made with one side longer than the other, making them easier to open. These are commonly used in packaging applications where a flap is required for closure with tape or a seal. Bags can be made plain or printed, and the film can be produced in color.
This style of bag is often chosen for its convenience and flexibility. Whether you’re looking to heat seal, tape seal, or add a reclosable feature, the extended lip makes the process straightforward and secure.
Custom Options
As a manufacturer, Rutan Poly works directly with your team to fine-tune bag specifications based on your application. We don’t provide off-the-shelf solutions—every order is made to your spec at our New Jersey facility.
No matter what application your poly bags will be used in, we’ve got you covered:
-
Bags with a lip can have hang holes, staple packs, be a wicket pack, etc.
-
You can also choose a reclosable tape seal. This is ideal for applications where multiple bag openings and closings are necessary.
-
Bags can also simply be closed with a heat sealer or impulse sealer.
Other options include choosing permanent tape closure (also known as permanent adhesive tape). This ensures secure closure and is also known as a security bag or mailer bag.
We work closely with clients in industries like packaging, shipping, food handling, security, and retail to ensure every detail of the bag fits the job. Thickness, width, and length can be adjusted as needed, along with print layout or serial numbering if required.
