What are the different types of polyethylene bags?

There are a variety of different types of poly bags available, including:

• Flat poly bags: Flat poly bags are the most common type of poly bag. They are typically used for packaging lightweight items, such as clothing and electronics.
• Gusseted poly bags: Gusseted poly bags have expandable sides, which allows them to hold more products. They are typically used for packaging heavier items, such as food and hardware.
• Zip-top poly bags have a resealable closure, making them ideal for packaging products that must be opened and closed multiple times.
• Heavy-duty poly bags: Heavy-duty poly bags are made from thicker plastic material, which makes them ideal for packaging heavy or fragile items.
