How Thick of Bag Do I Need?
Bag thicknesses range from a .0005 mil up to approximately a .008 mil. Although other thicknesses can be produced, this range encompasses the typical needs of most poly bag consumers. The thickness of your bag will depend on the weight of the items being contained as well as how puncture resistant the film must be to contain any sharp edges.
