Benefits of Custom Poly Bags for Shipping
Better Product Fit
Custom poly bags can be sized to match your product more closely. This reduces excess material, improves appearance, and helps prevent products from shifting inside the bag.
Lower Packaging Waste
When bags are too large, businesses use more material than needed. Custom sizing can reduce waste and help keep packaging costs under control.
Improved Product Protection
Custom poly bags help protect products from dust, dirt, moisture, and handling during storage, packing, and shipping.
Faster Fulfillment
When a bag is designed for your product and packing process, warehouse and fulfillment teams can pack orders faster and more consistently.
Branding Opportunities
Custom printed poly bags can include your logo, brand colors, product information, QR code, website, return instructions, or promotional message.
Wholesale Efficiency
For high-volume businesses, custom poly bags can be ordered in larger quantities to support regular production, ecommerce, or distribution needs.
Types of Custom Poly Bags for Shipping
| Custom Poly Bag Type | Best For |
|---|---|
| Custom Lay Flat Poly Bags | Apparel, parts, retail products, general packaging |
| Custom Gusseted Poly Bags | Bulky products, boxed goods, irregular items |
| Custom Reclosable Poly Bags | Items that need to be opened and resealed |
| Custom Clear Poly Bags | Product visibility, apparel, retail, warehouse organization |
| Custom Printed Poly Bags | Branding, product instructions, warnings, retail packaging |
| Custom Heavy-Duty Poly Bags | Industrial products, heavier items, warehouse use |

| Custom Wicketed Bags | Automated or semi-automated packing operations |
| Custom Poly Mailers | Ecommerce shipping and direct-to-customer orders |
Custom Poly Bags vs. Poly Mailers
Custom poly bags and custom poly mailers are both useful for shipping, but they serve different packaging needs.
| Feature | Custom Poly Bags | Custom Poly Mailers |
|---|---|---|
| Best For | Product protection, storage, inner packaging, bulk packaging | Direct ecommerce shipping |
| Closure | Tape, tie, staple, zipper, or heat seal | Peel-and-stick self-seal closure |
| Appearance | Clear, translucent, or custom printed | Usually opaque or branded |
| Use Case | Apparel bags, industrial bags, retail packaging, warehouse use | Clothing orders, soft goods, ecommerce parcels |
| Customization | Size, thickness, printing, closure, venting | Size, thickness, color, logo, branding |
If you are shipping individual customer orders, a custom poly mailer may be the best outer shipping bag. If you need to protect, store, group, or package products before shipping, custom poly bags are often the better option.
Custom Poly Bags for Clothing and Apparel
Custom poly bags are widely used by apparel companies because they help keep garments clean, folded, organized, and protected before shipping.
They are ideal for:
- T-shirts
- Hoodies
- Sweatshirts
- Jeans
- Dresses
- Activewear
- Uniforms
- Children’s clothing
- Boutique apparel
- Wholesale garments
- Screen-printed apparel
- Embroidered clothing
For clothing brands, custom poly bags can be sized by garment type and printed with sizing information, suffocation warnings, SKU details, or branding.
Custom Printed Poly Bags with Logo
Custom printed poly bags with your logo help create a more professional packaging experience. They can be used as inner apparel bags, retail product bags, or branded shipping packaging depending on the product and material.
Common print elements include:
- Company logo
- Brand colors
- Website URL
- QR code
- Product details
- Handling instructions
- Return instructions
- Suffocation warning text
- Reorder information
- Social media handles
For ecommerce brands, custom printed bags can help turn packaging into a marketing touchpoint.
What Size Custom Poly Bag Do I Need?
The right custom poly bag size depends on the product’s length, width, depth, and closure method. Measure the item after it is folded, stacked, or prepared for packaging.
Common size considerations include:
| Product Type | Recommended Bag Approach |
|---|---|
| T-shirts and small apparel | Clear custom apparel bag or small poly mailer |
| Hoodies and sweatshirts | Larger clear poly bag or heavy-duty mailer |
| Jeans and pants | Medium to large poly bag with room for folding |
| Industrial parts | Custom thickness based on weight and edges |
| Retail products | Clear or printed bag sized to product dimensions |
| Bulk items | Gusseted or large custom poly bag |
| Ecommerce orders | Custom poly mailer or outer shipping bag |
A custom bag should fit the product comfortably without stretching, tearing, or making sealing difficult.
Choosing the Right Thickness for Custom Poly Bags
Poly bag thickness is measured in mils. The right thickness depends on the product weight, handling needs, and shipping method.
| Thickness | Best For |
|---|---|
| 1 Mil – 1.5 Mil | Lightweight products, dust protection, inner packaging |
| 2 Mil | General apparel, retail, and ecommerce packaging |
| 3 Mil | Heavier products, industrial use, added durability |
| 4 Mil+ | Heavy-duty applications, parts, tools, bulk packaging |
For most apparel and ecommerce packaging, 1.5 mil to 2 mil is common for inner poly bags. For heavier shipping or industrial use, 3 mil or higher may be recommended.
