Stock Bags

Buyer’s Guide to Choosing Stock Bags

Stock bags are versatile plastic bags used for packing, storing and protecting products in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, food production areas, retail businesses and agricultural operations. Insinc’s range includes standard and heavy-duty stock bags in a wide variety of sizes, colours and thicknesses.

Standard 30–35 micron bags are suitable for lightweight products and general storage. Heavy-duty options from 50 to 125 microns provide greater strength for heavier, bulkier or sharper items. The range also includes specialised ice bags, berry bags, wood bags, UV-resistant bags and stock sheets for covering or separating products.

Standard or Heavy-Duty Stock Bags?

Standard stock bags are a cost-effective choice for lightweight goods, components and everyday packing. Heavy-duty bags offer improved resistance to tearing and punctures, making them more suitable for industrial products, ice, timber, produce and demanding storage applications.

Natural or clear bags allow contents to remain visible, while white and coloured options can be used for concealment, identification or specific operational requirements.

Which Size and Thickness Do You Need?

Choose a bag slightly larger than the product so it can be filled and closed without stretching. Smaller sizes suit parts and individual items, while larger bags can protect bulky products, equipment and materials.

Thickness is measured in microns. Higher-micron bags are generally stronger, but the correct choice depends on the product’s weight, shape and handling conditions. Packs suit occasional requirements, while cartons provide better value for high-volume commercial use.
