Minigrip bags are manufactured from polyethylene (PE) and are specifically, blends of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). 

The typical melt point of an LDPE / LLDPE film blend ranges from 105 to 115C (221 to 239F) but the film begins to soften below these temperatures.  The boiling point of water is nominally 212 F which is why LDPE / LLDPE film polyethylene bags will typically soften/fall apart in boiling water. 

The typical glass transition temperature of an LDPE / LLDPE film begins at -80C (-112F).  Glass transition temperature refers to the temperature where the film can “cold fracture”.  Cold fracture, where the film begins to break, can begin at temperatures near or below -50 C (-58F).  LDPE / LLDPE bags can perform acceptably at dry ice temperatures (-79C or -109F) for defined, short periods of time. 

The ability of an LDPE / LLDPE film to resist breakdown at extreme temperatures is a function of time AND temperature.  For applications that approach upper or lower limits, performance will be dependent upon time and other atmospheric conditions (altitude, etc.) in addition to temperature.  End-user is responsible for testing Minigrip bags in their specific application to ensure fitness for use.
