Paper or Plastic? It Doesn't Matter.

2010-05-03T09:00:00.001-04:00

When you go to the grocery store and hear “Paper or plastic,” choosing is not so easy as it may seem. Some of us are thrown into a state of drastic indecision that results in the bagger grabbing whichever one he is closest to.

Plastic bags often get a bad rap, with charges against them that they take much longer to decompose than paper, and that they can kill turtles in the Pacific that mistake them for food. Many states have begun taxing for the use of plastic bags. San Francisco has banned plastic bags altogether. But jettisoning plastic isn’t necessarily the best choice for the planet.

Paper can sometimes take just as long to decompose in landfills due to a lack of sunlight, water and oxygen. The energy required to produce paper bags is much greater - poly bags use 71% less. Plus, millions of acres of trees are cut down to produce them, allowing for less CO2 to be absorbed from the atmosphere.

So what’s the answer? Reusable bags are best. All of the stuff that you’re carrying in the bag, you could probably do without. It doesn’t really matter whether you choose paper or plastic, just be conscious of how much you use, and recycle when you’re done.

How Plastic Bags Are Made

2010-04-26T09:00:00.001-04:00

As you may have noticed from reading our blog or website, we feel the possibilities with plastic bags are endless. They are literally everywhere. The average American uses 300 to 700 plastic bags a year. Some of us even have drawers dedicated specifically to hold these handy bags. It’s safe to say that everyone knows what a plastic bag is, what it’s used for, and where to get them, but hardly anyone knows how these beauties are made.
They are made from granules of linear polyethelene, melted down and blended to a smooth homogenous mixture, and after a long, process, are turned into the bags we know and love. Watch this mesmerizing video from the Discovery Channel show, How It’s Made, in which they go behind the scenes of bag production.

What Does "Poly" Mean?

2010-04-12T09:00:00.000-04:00

If you frequent our blog, you’ve probably heard us mention poly bags once or twice…or 500 times. We can’t help it! We love plastic bags and want to share the convenience of poly bags with the world. But unless you’re as obsessed with poly bags as we are, you probably are a little unsure as to what the “poly” in bags means. It actually refers to polyethylene and polypropylene.

Polyethylene
The sturdier of the two “polys”, polyethylene is a type of polymer that is classified as a thermoplastic. This means that it can be melted into a liquid as it returns to a solid state. It is a found in many household items such as food wrap, shampoo bottles, milk jugs, toys, and our favorite—plastic bags! In addition to these handy household items, polyethylene is used in products that contain plastic components like artificial knee and hip replacement parts, bulletproof vests, and even the flooring for ice skating rinks.

Polypropylene
The melting point for polypropylene is much higher than other plastics, so it is often used in products that are dishwasher or microwave safe. Polypropylene is the more durable of the two plastics and is used in heavy-duty industrial plastic bags, as well as plastic hinges, or tops for travel mugs. It is very easy to add dyes to and is often used as fiber in carpeting.

Increase Brand Awareness with Poly Bags

2010-04-01T09:00:00.002-04:00

If you aren’t already aware, Poly bags are a great way to get your name out in a functional and highly creative way. Other forms of print advertising have to work a lot harder to get attention, because you’re putting your information on an item that they don’t really need. A postcard or door hanger is more of an annoyance for most customers, even though they have been proven effective at getting attention.

Putting your logo on poly bags is smart advertising because you’re putting the brand on something useful. Think about how much we reuse poly bags, long after the store. They are extremely functional. Another plus to poly bags is that when people carry them around, others see the logo and gets it in their head. If it’s a really creative and eye-catching logo, people who are unfamiliar with your store will inquire about it, thus producing more potential customers.

I experienced that first-hand last night when I came back from the new market that opened up by my apartment. I had three people on the way home notice my plastic bags and the new logo on them, and ask where the store was. I was happy to point them in the direction of my new favorite market.

If you want to increase brand awareness, be sure to look into customizable plastic bags from Excellent Poly.

What Would A World Without Plastic Bags Be?

2010-03-22T09:00:00.000-04:00

Where would the world be without plastic bags? We’d be living in the middle ages! Newspaper bags wouldn’t exist, so to read the paper we would have to buy it at the grocery store. Talk about inconvenient. Bread would come in paper bags and go stale in no time without plastic bread bags. No plastic garbage bags means that we would have a giant landfill in our backyards, or we would have to deal with the paper bags spilling and ripping, overflowing and tearing. It's obvious that paper can’t beat plastic.

Thankfully we don’t live in that kind of world. Newspaper boys throw the newspapers on our doorsteps in newspaper bags. Bread stays fresh with the little ties on plastic bags. I can take out the garbage and not have to worry about getting my feet covered in eggshells and last night’s Chinese food. Plastic bags are even customizable, making the world of poly bags more diverse and interesting.

Companies like Excellent Poly Bags are leaders in the field of plastic bag distribution. They customize poly bags and are furthering plastic bag technology. So talk to them about your plastic bag needs and thank your lucky stars we don’t live in a world without plastic bags.

Plastic Bags: How They're Made and What They Do

2010-03-15T09:00:00.002-04:00

Poly bags are made from crude oil and natural gas, and the process itself is often called the “tubular film process.” The polythene melt is blown into an annular tube, where air is blown to make the melt swell. The hot plastic is blown with more air to cool it. The plastic film is cooled and flattened with rollers and either kept like that or slits are cut into it. If it is kept flat, the film is sealed with another sheet of film or cut to make a bag with one side left unsealed for the opening.

One of the most interesting things about making poly bags is that there are so many different options in how they result that the choices are almost endless. From wicketed bags to newspaper bags, header bags and bread bags to plastic bags and staple bags, there are poly bags for anything! And if you want to advertise on your poly bags, it’s easier said than done. You can choose a range of colors that will attract the eye and make your plastic bags the cat’s meow. So if you run a small business and need some plastic bags, don’t just settle, get some poly bags that will bring you a return.

A Variety Of Poly Bags For Your Business

2010-02-15T07:57:00.001-05:00

In this world of business, advertising holds a very important place. The more creative and innovative the ad is, well, the better the response is for the product. Using poly bags for advertising is a great way of cost-efficient advertising.

Various kinds of bags are available for advertising and each one has its own benefit.

Plastic bags stacked together using a piece of metal are called wicketed bags and are ideal for supermarkets where loading has to be fast. The metal, called a wicket, acts as the dispenser, and the bags are often sealed with heat or tape.
Poly mailers have good adhesive qualities and stronger when compared to the normal mailing envelopes so they can be used to distribute your product.
Staple packs are convenient for dispensing products and are easy to use.
Newspaper bags have excellent durability and can quite literally be put through snow, sleet, sun, and rain. These will help you brand your products especially if you run a publication such as a magazine or newspaper. You can print your logo on news paper bags and promote your brand recognition.
Header bags are made from thermoplastic sheets which allows for flexibility and can be used for storing the perishable items in keeping them fresh and safe. Bread bags are ideal for storing food items to keep them fresh for a longer time.

So visit Excellent Poly and select the bags that best suits your need and go Bagvertising!

Using Poly Bags To Help Protect Your Business Mailings

2010-02-08T07:20:00.001-05:00

If you happen to be in a business that does a lot of mailings then you might want to consider purchasing bulk poly bags. A poly bag is a plastic bag that comes in assorted sizes to be used with all type of products. You might have your own home based business in which you mail out a specific type of product. Using wicketed bags would be beneficial in packaging your product before mailing. If you send out pamphlets or other printed materials, you might want to use newspaper bags to help protect your materials.

The staple packs and wicketed types come in easy to use wire frame dispenser packs. Using poly bags in the distribution of your product helps keep the product or papers from becoming damaged due to weather conditions. You can also purchase poly mailers, which are a type of mailer that has a protective plastic coating already on it.

If you happen to be in the business of distributing food items, you can use header bags or bread bags to keep your food items fresh. While you can use ordinary plastic bags to send food in, they are not as safe for perishable items as the bags that can be heat sealed for protection.

Are You A Newspaper Delivery Company? Need Newspaper Bags?

2010-02-01T12:22:00.002-05:00

Newspaper delivery services are actually quite profitable, but one of the main things you need to look at is the quality of the supplies you are using! One of the main things you should consider is the newspaper bags you are using. Too thin of a material or not using top notch materials could mean that the bag will end up ripping or getting the paper wet - never fun for the customer! Too thick of a material and you could be spending more money than you need to be which is never good for your overhead. One type of material you could consider taking a look at are poly bags.

This material seems to be considered as "just right". It's thick enough to keep the papers protected, but it’s also cost efficient as well. Plus, you can also customize these bags however you see fit. Maybe you need different sizes or a specific color or design placed on the bag? You can get this done! You can also choose from different kinds of styles as well. For example, if you aren't delivering newspapers, but you are delivering something like a newsletter or magazine you could try a door knob bag or if you are a delivery company that produces magazines you could consider a header bag.

These bags are reinforced with a special type of plastic and are enclosed, they also include one or two holes on the top of the bag which are used for hanging the bags. You can also get these with no holes.

Are You A Small Retail Store? Are You Interested In Branding Your Name On Clear Poly Bags?

2010-01-25T08:13:00.000-05:00

If you own a small retail store such as a candy store, grocery store or clothing store, you could be branding your name right now and you don't even know it! If you have thought about this, maybe you have been hesitant in doing so because you aren't sure how it will affect your business. I can tell you by doing some simple research online you are going to find that clear poly bags are clearly the way to go when it comes to branding and promoting your business name.

It doesn't matter how big or how small you are, every little effort helps you on becoming the business you really want to be. You don't have to spend millions of dollars a year on advertising your business the conventional way through television, radio or newspapers. Instead, you can take a product such as clear poly bags, or poly bag packaging, completely customize the bag, and allow it to brand your name for you. These bags and packaging options are incredibly cost efficient and could bring back profits threefold!

We can customize the bags so that they include your business colors (or any colors for that matter), slogan, business name, logos, etc. You can also choose from various sizes and functions as well. For example, if you are a grocery store you could consider using a clear or semi-clear poly bag that has handles (easy to carry for your customers!), and your slogan and logo on the bag (both sides or one side).

This means for every single customer that comes into your store they are ultimately taking OUT that bag and advertising it for you! Not only is this going to get you more business money wise, but it's also going to bring awareness to your store and your name as well. Awareness is everything! If people don't know you exist, no one is ever going to come into your store!

Different Kinds Of Promotional Marketing For Your Business

2010-01-18T06:13:00.000-05:00

Over the years companies such as ours have utilized ways in order to help you market your business. There are virtually thousands of different ways to market your website and your business and really get your name out there. After all, this is THE most important part to owning any business. If no one knows you exist, chances are you won't ever get any sales or any customers, and really, what's the point in that? Some of the ways you can freely market your business are some of the most popular and efficient ways.

One thing you could try is clear poly bags, promotional bags, wicketted bags or mailer bags. These are bags and packing materials that you can place in your business or store that people will use to place their bought products in. Your store could be a video game rental store, grocery store, candy store, or anything else really! You can place your name, logo, slogan, business name, URL or anything else you want on these clear poly bags or poly bag packages. The customizations are completely up to you!

Another cool option is to find sites that offer promotional items that you can customize just like the items above. The only problem with this is that since customers won't be using these products IN your store, you will more or less have to market TO them. Whereas with the bags, it's a functional item that they need. Another option I like is more about professionalism and leaving a mark rather than marketing or branding - customized business mats.

Are Polypropylene Bags Really Green?

2009-12-14T08:33:00.000-05:00

Nowadays just about everyone is becoming more and more "green". People are starting to take the time to get involved with things like recycling, ecology, renewable resource products like windmills and solar panels. However, not everyone actually knows how to recycle specific items such as glass, newspapers, metal, plastic, textiles, and packing materials like polypropylene bags, clear poly bags, poly bag packaging, peanuts, etc. For the most part, companies have made it easier for us to recycle.

For instance, the USPS stores and a lot of companies that ship products to you now use peanuts that actually ARE biodegradable - all you have to do is add water and it's completely safe to pour the liquid down your kitchen drain or sewer. Can't exactly do this with the old peanuts now can you! As for the polypropylene bags, clear poly bags, or poly bag packaging this might start to blur the lines a little more. Are these types of materials recyclable? Well, compared to newspapers, brown bags and other paper bags, a polypropylene bag has two major advantages.

Number one the bags require about a third of the free energy to produce the bags and only about one tenth of energy to recycle! Secondly, these bags are considered "green" because they do NOT create pollution or waste during production or during the breakdown of the recycling option. Whereas with something like paper bags or brown bags, it takes chemicals in order to breakdown the wood that the bags are made up of.

Can You Brand Your Business Name On Polypropylene Bags?

Consumers look for freshness! Give them Zipper Closure Bags

2009-11-18T12:22:00.005-05:00

Everyday after work, I walk into our local supermarket and shop for groceries. Ye, I know, every day is a bit too much, but can I do? Everything looks so good these days! There are great new products from all around the world, new organic produce, fresh bakery goods that my nose can’t resist, and I just got to try these new and exciting things that I find on the shelves.

As a consumer, I’ve been noticing that more and more products that I buy come in a zipper closure bag. I don’t know, it’s just happens that I go directly for the food that comes within those bags. I mean, maybe somewhere in my mind I know that these products will remain fresh for a longer period of time? Maybe. But the fact is that I do appreciate when manufacturers put in extra twist in the packaging and because I am single, it’s really great to have a bag that promises to keep my products fresh.

If you are wrapping up food and want to keep up with the leading zipper bag trend, visit us at www.excellentpoly.com. Oh, and remember that Zipper Closure Bags are available in any color, size and thickness and can carry your brand with pride!

What are Polypropylene Bags?

2009-11-09T08:56:00.000-05:00

Polypropylene

Polypropylene. Wow. Sounds Big. We like to call it Poly, but really, if I had to compare polypropylene bags to anything, I would say that they are like super heavy-duty garbage bags for your home times 15.

Poly bags are super strong and with good reason considering they made with polypropylene. This is a thermoplastic polymer, produced by the chemical manufacture and utilized in an extensive mixture of applications, including packaging, fabrics and textiles (e.g. ropes, thermal underwear and carpets), stationery, plastic parts and reusable containers of different types, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, mobile constituents, and even polymer Federal Reserve notes.

But it doesn't mean you have to be a Federal agency in order to use Poly bags. These bags are one of the more popular and purchased types of bags in the entire industry. In fact, in 2007 it was said that these bags had a turnover of about $65 million! That's just amazing to me! You can use these clear poly bags and poly bag packaging for every buisness you might imagine.

Even if you run a grocery store, you might want to use these tear proof bags. Excellent Poly's bags are nothing like the usual tear "proof bags" that tear on your home! Our bags are proven tear proof bags! For more info, visit us at www.excellentpoly.com.

As with anything else in life, you need to have to the right tools to do the job - in this case polypropylene bags. These are considered to be some of the toughest duty bags available which is why most companies and businesses carry them. These clear poly bags come in all kinds of colors and sizes depending on what you need for your specific business.

One of the main things you want to look when shopping for the above is for wholesale pricing - especially if you are going to be buying large quantities. Wholesale means one main thing - saving money! When you buy a bigger quantity you will actually save more in the long run.

Poly bags will most likely come in a box or on a roll depending on the style and type. Some of them may come with stands and or "machines" as well. By machines I mean the actual stand that the bags are placed on so you can easily and quickly "unravel" the bag, disconnect at the perforated edge, and voila you've got your bag! These would be good for all kinds of businesses such as candy stores, meat packing plants, grocery stores and deli sections, bakeries, etc.
