Poly Bags in Edison, NJ
Edison is one of New Jersey's most commercially significant communities — named for Thomas Edison who invented the lightbulb and the phonograph here, and today home to a remarkable Indian-American business community that has created one of the most vibrant South Asian commercial corridors in America along Oak Tree Road, major pharmaceutical and biotech companies, and a strategic position along the NJ Turnpike corridor. My Custom Boxes serves Edison's diverse and commercially sophisticated business community with premium custom packaging.

Why Choose Our Poly Bags
Custom Poly Bags | E-Commerce Mailers, Garment Bags & Retail Packaging
Poly bags — polyethylene packaging bags — are the most widely produced flexible packaging format globally, serving the broadest range of packaging applications from e-commerce garment shipping to industrial parts containment to retail product packaging. Their combination of low cost, lightweight, waterproof protection, and printability makes them the default packaging solution for applications where premium presentation is secondary to practical protection and cost efficiency.
Poly Bag Applications
- E-Commerce Mailer Bags: Self-seal poly mailer bags for apparel, soft goods, and lightweight product e-commerce shipping — the dominant e-commerce shipping format by volume
- Garment Bags: Clear poly bags for garment storage and retail display — protecting clothing from dust while maintaining visibility
- Retail Poly Bags: Printed poly bags for retail checkout and shopping bag applications
- Industrial Parts Bags: Heavy-gauge poly bags for industrial component storage, kitting, and parts packaging
- Agricultural Bags: Large-format poly bags for soil, mulch, fertilizer, and seed retail packaging
Poly Bag Material Grades
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is the standard poly bag material — flexible, clear to semi-clear, and suitable for most standard applications. Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) provides higher tensile strength and puncture resistance for heavier applications. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) provides stiffer, more rigid properties for retail bags and agricultural applications. Recycled content LDPE and bio-based PE are available for brands with sustainability requirements.
Poly Mailer Bags vs. Corrugated Mailers for E-Commerce
Poly mailer bags and corrugated mailer boxes serve the same e-commerce shipping function with different trade-offs. Poly mailers are lighter (reducing shipping weight charges), waterproof (providing rain protection corrugated cannot match), lower cost per unit, and more compact in storage and handling. Corrugated mailers provide structural protection that poly mailers cannot — they prevent crushing of rigid contents and provide unboxing experience branding that poly bags cannot match. The correct choice depends on the product: soft goods (apparel, textiles, flat goods) are well-served by poly mailers; structured, rigid, or fragile products require corrugated.
Sustainable Poly Bag Alternatives
Standard LDPE poly bags are not recyclable in standard curbside programs, though most major grocery retailers accept store drop-off recycling for LDPE bags. Sustainable alternatives include recycled content LDPE (using post-consumer waste polyethylene), bio-based PE (polyethylene made from sugarcane ethanol rather than petroleum), and certified compostable PBAT/PLA blend bags. For brands with sustainability requirements, we provide documentation of recycled content percentage and bio-based content certification for sustainable poly bag specifications.

Poly Bags in Edison — FAQs
What is a self-seal poly mailer bag?
Self-seal poly mailer bags have an adhesive strip protected by a release liner. After product insertion, the liner is removed and the adhesive strip is pressed to the bag body — creating a secure seal without tape. Most self-seal mailer bags also include a second adhesive strip for return shipping — the customer tears open the bag along a perforation and uses the second strip to reseal it for returns.
What thickness poly bag do I need?
Standard poly bags for retail and light-duty applications use 1.5–2 mil LDPE. E-commerce poly mailer bags use 2.5–3 mil LLDPE for better puncture resistance during parcel handling. Heavy-duty industrial bags use 4–6 mil LDPE or LLDPE. Agricultural bags use 4–8 mil HDPE for UV stability and load-bearing capacity.
Can poly bags be printed?
Yes. Poly bags are printed using flexographic printing in 1–6 spot colors on the outer surface. Full CMYK poly bag printing is available at higher minimum quantities. Branded poly mailer bags with logos, brand colors, and return address information are standard for e-commerce brands.
Are recycled content poly bags available?
Yes. We offer poly bags in 30%, 50%, and 100% post-consumer recycled LDPE content. Recycled content bags are certified by the supplier with documented PCW (post-consumer waste) content percentage. Bio-based PE from sugarcane ethanol is also available for brands preferring renewable-source plastics over petroleum-based materials.
