How Are Wicketed Bags Different From Standard Poly Bags?
Standard poly bags are commonly supplied loose, requiring each bag to be separated and its opening located before filling. Wicketed bags are often made from similar plastic films, but a group of bags is held together on a wire wicket through holes in an extended top lip, creating an aligned stack for dispensing.
The wicket keeps unused bags together while each filled bag is removed individually. This arrangement is useful for repetitive packing tasks because the next bag remains within reach instead of being pulled from a loose stack. Staff can also replenish the station with an assembled group of bags instead of arranging loose ones separately.
How Can Wicketed Bags Support More Consistent Packaging?
When bags shift or open at different angles, packing staff may need to reposition each one before loading. Products can then catch against the opening or sit unevenly inside the bag, requiring further adjustment before the package can be closed.
Wicketed bags hold each new opening in a predictable position, allowing the same loading motion to be repeated. The filled bag separates from the wicket while the remaining bags stay aligned, helping your staff position products more consistently before closing each package.
How Does Total Packaging Solutions Inc Help You Select the Right Wicketed Bags?
Total Packaging Solutions Inc helps you select wicketed bags by matching your product dimensions to suitable bag sizes and materials. We also consider whether you’re filling bags by hand or using compatible equipment, since the bag opening and wicket placement need to work with your packing setup.
Our wicketed bags are available with options for:
- Bag dimensions: Selecting suitable widths and lengths for your products
- Film thickness: Matching material strength to the demands of handling
- Material options: Choosing films suited to different packaging applications
- Microperforation: Allowing moisture to escape when packaging suitable perishable products
If your current wicketed bags perform well, their measurements and film thickness provide a useful reference for reordering. When you’re packaging a new product or changing your filling setup, we can discuss customized options to accommodate those different requirements.
What Factors Affect the Strength of Wicketed Bags?
A wicketed bag’s strength depends on the type and thickness of film used, along with the stress it encounters during filling. Heavier contents, such as bulk produce, can strain the seams, while products with rigid corners may press against the film and cause punctures.
Selecting an appropriate film thickness helps the bag withstand these demands without using more material than necessary. An opening that’s too narrow can also put excessive tension on the film during loading, making it important to match the opening width to the product’s dimensions to reduce the risk of tearing.
