How to choose the right mil

Read sizes as width x length: a 3×5 bag is 3 inches wide and 5 inches tall. Measure your item and add about half an inch each way so it slides in and the top still ties off easily. Then match the gauge:

Step down: our 1 mil clear plastic bags are the lightest, lowest-cost gauge for very light goods and dust covers.
Step up: our 2 mil clear plastic bags add puncture resistance for heavier or sharp-edged items.
Need to reseal? Choose a zip-style option from our reclosable bags, or compare every open end gauge in our flat poly bags range.

Frequently asked questions

How thick is a 1.5 mil clear plastic bag?

A mil is one-thousandth of an inch, so it measures film thickness. At 1.5 mil these open end bags are noticeably sturdier than 1 mil film but lighter and more economical than 2 mil, making 1.5 mil a popular all-purpose gauge that balances clarity, strength, and cost for small-to-medium items.

What is the difference between 1.5 mil and 2 mil clear plastic bags?

Both are clear, open end polyethylene flat poly bags. The 2 mil film is thicker for extra puncture and tear resistance on heavier or sharp-edged items. Choose 1.5 mil for lightweight-to-moderate contents at a lower per-bag cost, and step up to 2 mil for added durability.

Are Arplast 1.5 mil clear plastic bags food safe?

Yes. They are made of high quality polyethylene and meet FDA and USDA requirements for food and pharmaceutical packaging, so they work for portioning dry food items as well as retail and industrial goods.

How do these 1.5 mil open end bags close?

They are flat, open end poly bags that load from the top and close with a twist tie. If you need a bag you can open and reseal repeatedly, choose a zip-style reclosable poly bag instead.

What sizes are available?

More than 100 sizes are kept in stock for immediate shipment, including 2×3, 2×4, 3×3, 3×4, 3×5, 3×6, 2×7, 2×8, 2×10, 2×12, 3×8 and 4×6. Custom sizes are available upon request.

Is there a minimum order, and can I get custom printing?

There is no minimum on in-stock items, and wholesale volume discounts apply as quantity increases. Arplast also offers custom sizes and custom printing on request so you can match the bag to your product and add your branding or product information.
