What To Know About Utilizing Wicketed Bags for Goods Packaging

If you want to boost your packaging efficiency, the solution might be as simple as choosing the right type of bag. Production slowdowns often occur when workers spend extra time opening and handling individual poly bags.

Wicketed bags provide a fast, seamless solution, making the packaging process quicker and more efficient.

Not familiar with wicketed bags? You’re not alone. Here’s a closer look at what they are and how they can benefit your operation.

What Is a Wicketed Bag?

Wicketed bags are stacks of plastic bags neatly arranged on a wire wicket, secured with rubber washers and sometimes a chipboard header.

Typically made from PE, LDPE, or PP, these bags are versatile and can be customized with features like printed logos, bottom gussets, vents, holes, or perforations. A standard wicket usually contains 100 to 250 bags, though this quantity can be adjusted based on the bag’s size and material thickness.

The Benefits – Why Switch to Wicketed Bags?

If you’re considering a change, you might need a little convincing. The key advantage of wicketed bags is that they make packaging items fast and simple, saving both time and money.

Now that you understand what a wicketed bag is, let’s explore the specific benefits they bring to your operation.

Quick and Easy Product Packaging

Mounted on a wicket, these bags can be opened with one hand while you place the product inside with the other. Once one bag is filled, the next is already in position, ready to go.

The wicket functions as a built-in bag dispenser, maximizing efficiency. For even faster packing, a small fan can be used to help open the bags.

Wicketed Bags Are Popular Across Industries

Wicketed bags are suitable for both food and non-food packaging, making them a versatile choice for many businesses.

Industries that commonly use wicketed bags include:

• Food packaging

• Bakeries

• Grocery stores, especially for produce

• Clothing and apparel retailers

• Manufacturers of mechanical components

No matter what product you sell, wicketed bags can simplify and speed up the packaging process.

Cost-Effective and Sustainable

Custom Wicketed bags save time during the packaging process, allowing you to pack more products each day. While pricing varies based on bag specifications, costs are typically calculated per thousand units.

The rubber washers and wire wickets are reusable, helping reduce waste and supporting more sustainable packaging practices.
