As new uses for plastic bags are developed every year, the number of plastic bag types grows. There is a range of flat, gusset, anti-static, postal-approved, protective hazards, and shrinkable Rutan Poly plastic bags.
- Flat plastic bags – The Rutan Poly flat plastic bag is a long, narrow plastic bag without the depth that can be heat-sealed, tied, stapled, or taped to seal. These bags are ideal for storing various items, including food and electronics.
- Markable Plastic Bags – This simplifies the process of storing small items since the bag has a white block on one side that can be used to label the contents.
- Resealable plastic bags – It is possible to use large versions of these bags for storage, while smaller ones can be used for packing lunches. Resealable bags have a way of closing the bag, such as a zip track or a slider zipper.
- Gusseted Plastic Bags – For these bags to expand when filled, pleats are tucked in on the sides. In addition to their increased capacity, their gussets allow them to be heat-sealed, tied, stapled, or taped, just like flat plastic bags. Gusset plastic bags are like flat plastic bags, in that they are heat-sealed, tied, stapled, or taped. Due to the flat bottom formed when the gussets are expanded, they are sometimes called flat-bottom plastic bags. Using gusseted plastic bags allows you to use them for a wide range of applications.
- Anti-Static Plastic Bags – These anti-static plastic bags come in a variety of colors and plastic density levels and are designed to block static electrical charges.
- Postal Approved Plastic Bags – To protect the contents as well as comply with USPS standards, postal bags must work with United Postal Services scanners.
- Biohazard Plastic Bags – Workers who handle hazardous materials need to wear biohazard bags. In addition to clear, white, red, yellow, black, or blue biohazard bags, they are clearly marked with the biohazard symbol. Medical waste must be handled in compliance with the guidelines set by the CDC, DOT, EPA, and OSHA. Plastic biohazard bags cannot be punctured or torn.
- Cleanroom Plastic Bags – It is very important for cleanrooms to maintain their ISO classification by meeting stringent cleanroom requirements. In order to produce cleanroom bags, pure unused resin must be used, not recycled plastic, and ISO 9 standards must be met. Cleanroom bags are specifically designed to hold sensitive instruments and medical devices.
