The Many Uses of Poly bags

The poly bag has a lot going for it. It allows magazines and newspapers to be transported without fear of damage, gives the subscriber an unobstructed view of the cover, acts as a convenient source of revenue, where advertisers’ outserts can be neatly tucked, and compared to bulky paper envelopes, it brings down mailing costs substantially. A publisher’s ally, there are such retailers that create and sell a wide range of poly bags in several sizes shapes and colors for many different functions:

 The majority of poly bagging is manufactured using polyethylene, which is made from a byproduct of oil refining. Its strength and low cost makes it the perfect carrier for thousands of magazines and newspapers distributed across the country each year.

 Many advertisers use poly bags as promotional plastic bags with custom printed logos and bright colors. Some come as door knob bags, for publishers to leave advertisements and reading material on doors of many potential customers. Trade show bags are another popular item, but even more popular still are the custom printed non woven bags which offer a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. Another alternative is paper retail bags which are completely biodegradable. Some eco-friendly retailers offer seed paper, which is made from recycled paper infused with wildflower seeds. This paper, once used, can be planted instead of thrown away.

 Publishers do have the freedom to use biodegradable or compostable wrapping material through the USPS machineable mailing systems. However, both have set requirements for transparent wrappings’ clarity, strength, thickness and anti-static abilities. As long as the product meets these standards, it can go through machineable mail sorting uninterrupted.

People are often too quick to point the finger at plastic bagging as an environmental evil. But there are new ways of looking at poly bagging—a product that can happily fit into the recycle, reduce, reuse model.
