Frequently Asked Questions about heavy duty plastic ice bags

What mil thickness is considered heavy-duty for an ice bag?

People usually want to know when a plain heavy-duty ice bag goes from retail-grade to industrial strength. For smaller ice bags, heavy-duty starts at about 1.5 to 2 mil. For 50 lb commercial bags, it is often 3 mil or more.

What additives make ice bags brittle & puncture-resistant?

EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) or metallocene is blended into LDPE/LLDPE to ensure the plastic film remains flexible and elastic at sub-freezing temperatures instead of becoming brittle and cracking.

How many ice bags per minute can a person fill using loose-packed vs. wicketed bags?

If your workers are manually opening, filling, and sealing plain loose-packed ice bags, a fast operator can realistically hit 3 to 5 bags per minute.

What is the best manual bag opener/blower for plain loose ice bags?

Honestly, standard commercial bag blowers don't work great for plain loose-packed bags because they are designed to blow across a wicket stack. For loose bags, the best setup is a heavy, angled tabletop gravity hopper or rack with a small, adjustable-speed desktop utility blower angled right at the top lip.

Some operators use a simple "suction cup finger" setup or wear textured disposable gloves. The texture gives workers the grip they need to slide the top sheet open instantly without fumbling around with wet hands.
