Plastic Bags (2x3 inch)

Plastic bags, specifically those measuring 2x3 inches, are small, flexible containers typically manufactured from polyethylene film. These dimensions denote the bag's width and height when laid flat.

Material

The primary material is typically one of the following polyethylene types:

• Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE): Common for general use, offering flexibility and lower cost.
• High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE): More rigid and stronger than LDPE, often used when durability is needed.
• Polypropylene (PP): Offers higher melting point and resistance to chemicals, suitable for applications requiring these properties.
• Biodegradable/Compostable Plastics: Increasingly available, derived from plant-based sources like corn starch, designed to decompose under specific conditions.

Purpose

These small bags serve a variety of packaging and containment purposes, including:

• Small Parts Packaging: Holding screws, bolts, washers, beads, and other miniature components.
• Sample Packaging: Containing small quantities of powders, liquids, or solids for testing or distribution.
• Jewelry Packaging: Protecting and presenting individual jewelry items.
• Food Packaging: Sealing small portions of snacks, candies, or spices (food-grade plastic required).
• Hardware Packaging: Containing small accessories like buttons, zippers, or hooks.

Function

The primary function is to provide a protective barrier against:

• Moisture: Preventing items from becoming damp or corroded.
• Dust and Contamination: Keeping contents clean.
• Physical Damage: Offering a degree of protection against minor impacts and abrasions.
• Loss: Containing small items to prevent them from being scattered.

Usage Scenarios

• Retail: Packaging individual items at point of sale.
• Manufacturing: Containing components during assembly and shipping.
• Laboratory: Storing and transporting small samples.
• Crafts and Hobbies: Organizing and protecting small materials.
• Home Organization: Storing small items in drawers or containers.

Common Types

• Clear Bags: Most common, allowing visibility of contents.
• Colored Bags: Used for identification or branding.
• Zip-Lock Bags: Feature a re-sealable closure for added security and convenience.
• Sealable Bags: Typically heat-sealed or adhesive-sealed.
• Antistatic Bags: Designed to prevent static electricity buildup, important for electronic components.
• Food-Grade Bags: Specifically manufactured for contact with food, meeting relevant safety standards.
• Header Bags: Feature a folded top with a hole for hanging on displays.
