What style of ice bag should I choose? Choosing the right style of Ice Bag is one of
preference and packing function.
Manual ice bag packagers usually choose between two styles:
Loose-packed Plain Top Ice Bags, which include twist-ties for closing. Other closing options are available
as an
option like bag sealing tape, etc.
Drawstring Ice Bags have a drawstring top for easy hassle-free closing once loaded with ice. The drawstring
also
allows for a convenient carrying handle for the consumer.
Higher volume ice packagers use semi-automatic and high-speed automatic packaging machines that require Ice
Bags
on Wicket or Ice Bag Roll Stock Film:
Wicketed Ice Bags have a lip and perforation on one side of the bag, which allows for groups of 100-250 bags
on
a wire or plastic wicket. One side of the ice bag is either blown open by air or manually pulled out to allow
for
easy filling and then torn from the lip and wicket once filled. Once filled these ice bags can be sealed with
twist ties, bag sealing tape, or heat-sealed. Wicket bags are used with bulk baggers and volumetric baggers.

510,

What are Metallocene and EVA, and why are they important?
Metallocene is a type of LLDPE or linear low-density polyethylene resin that is used to make ice bags and film
stronger than traditional LDPE – Low-Density Polyethylene. EVA is a copolymer resin additive that helps poly
film
perform better in cold temperatures. All polyethylene films become brittle at freezing temperatures, so EVA is
added
to soften the film and aid in puncture resistance, ripping and tearing. EVA is safe for food contact.
