Heavy duty bag guide

What makes a zip lock bag heavy duty?

The thickness of a zip lock bag is measured in microns (µm). Our standard zip lock bags are 50 micron. Our heavy duty bags are 75 micron, half as thick again, and our write-on bags are 100 micron, double the standard thickness. Thicker bags resist punctures from sharp corners and keep their shape when filled with heavy items.

All our heavy duty zip lock bags are clear and made from food grade polythene (LDPE), so you can see what is inside and use them for food, confectionery, hardware, collectables and retail stock. The press seal strip clicks shut and reopens again and again.

You may also know them as snap lock bags, press seal bags, click seal bags, resealable bags or zip seal bags. Whatever you call them, we stock them in bulk cartons at our Brisbane warehouse and ship them Australia-wide.

Choosing a heavy duty bag

Measure the usable space
Sizes are width x length below the seal, so allow room for the thickness of what goes in.
Go thicker for sharp items
Screws, tools and hard edges call for 75 or 100 micron.
Label with write-on panels
The 100 micron bags have white panels for codes, dates and contents.
Need tamper evidence?
Maxigrip bags are heat sealed at the bottom and must be torn open at the top.

Heavy duty zip lock bag FAQs

Answers to the questions we are asked most about thick resealable bags.

Are your heavy duty zip lock bags food grade?

+

Yes. Our 75 micron and 100 micron zip lock bags are made from food grade polythene, so they are safe for storing food, confectionery and lunches.

How thick are heavy duty zip lock bags?

+

Our heavy duty bags are 75 micron, and our write-on panel bags are 100 micron. Standard zip lock bags are 50 micron. Allow a variance of up to 5% from the manufacturing process.

What is the largest heavy duty zip lock bag you sell?

+

Our largest is the 380 x 510mm, 75 micron bag, sold in cartons of 500. Other large sizes are 355 x 405mm and 280 x 380mm.

What is a Maxigrip bottom loading bag?

+

Maxigrip bags are 75 micron resealable bags that you fill through the open bottom and then close with a heat sealer. They are tamper evident: the customer tears them open along the notches above the zip, then reseals them until the contents are used.

What is the difference between polythene and polypropylene bags?

+

Polythene (LDPE) is softer, more flexible and slightly cloudy, which makes it good for storage and for protecting light sensitive collectables. Polypropylene is crystal clear and crisper, which suits display packaging. Our heavy duty zip lock bags are polythene.

Do you sell black zip lock bags?

+

Not as a stock item. Our heavy duty zip lock bags are clear so you can see the contents and any labels. For large orders, request a quote and we can look at custom made bags.

How long will my order take to arrive?

+

Orders placed before 12pm Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day. Typical delivery times after dispatch:

  • Brisbane: 1 to 2 business days
  • Sydney and Canberra: 2 business days
  • Melbourne: 2 to 3 business days
  • Adelaide: 5 to 6 business days
