What they are
- Flat, open-top (open-end) poly bags with no built-in closure.
- The most economical, universal bag for bagging, protecting and merchandising products in volume.
- Close them to suit your line — heat sealer, twist tie, tape, staple or a folded header.
Best for
- Bagging retail goods, apparel and gifts so product stays clean and visible.
- Kitting parts, fasteners and components in manufacturing and hardware.
- Sleeving literature and bundling items inside shipping cartons.
How to choose
- Gauge (mil): lighter gauges for soft, lightweight goods where cost-per-bag matters; heavier gauges for sharp-edged or heavier items that take rough handling.
- Size: pick a width that fits comfortably and a length that leaves room to close the open end.
- Closure: twist tie or tape for quick jobs, heat seal for a permanent close. Need to reopen the same bag repeatedly? Choose a reclosable zip-top bag instead.

Frequently asked questions
What is an open end flat poly bag?
It is a flat clear plastic bag with one open top and no built-in closure. Product slides in through the open end, which you then close with a heat sealer, twist tie, tape, staple or folded header. With no zipper or handle, it is the most economical poly bag for bagging and protecting products in volume.
How are open end poly bags closed?
Because the top is fully open, you choose the closure: heat sealing for a permanent seal, or twist ties, tape or staples for a quick close. If you need to open and re-seal the same bag repeatedly, a reclosable zip-top bag is a better choice.
What thickness (mil) should I choose?
Match the gauge to your contents. Lighter mils suit soft, lightweight goods where cost-per-bag matters most; heavier mils add puncture resistance for hardware, tools and items with sharp edges that take rough handling.
Do you sell wholesale and in bulk?
Yes. Arplast is a US poly-bag manufacturer and distributor with 30+ years in business, offering wholesale and bulk pricing with volume discounts and no minimum on in-stock sizes.
Can I get custom sizes or printing?
Yes. We manufacture custom sizes when our stock dimensions do not fit your product, and we offer custom printing so you can add your logo, branding or handling instructions directly to the bag.
