Features Of 8 Lb Ice Cube Bags

By Helen Jones


Most people tend to buy a lot of ice packs during summer because the weather usually is too hot and they like taking cold drinks. It is thus obvious that the demand for the icicle sacs increases immensely during such times and hotels, distributors, convenience stores, and marinas make tremendous profits. This does not, however, mean that the demand is low the rest of the year. 8 lb ice cube bags are usually in demand as they are of standard capacity.

These plastic icicle packs are normally pre-printed with information about the location and distributor. More so, they have a rather large opening that makes the packaging process to be easy. They have 1.5 ml thick drawstrings that are 11 ml wide and 18 ml long. The resins used in making them are pure and it is USDA and FDA approved for food contact.

Other materials like EVA and metallocene have been added to the glacier packs to increase their strength. These elements also make the bags resistant to puncture and the help in reducing brittleness during cold temperatures. Every pack has been pre-printed with an image of a standing polar bear on snow and written text of pure glacier.

The sacs have some features that define them. For instance, their capacity is 8 pounds, 1.5 mil thickness, 11 and 18 ml of width and length respectively, degrees Celsius of about -20 in their temperature range, additives for strength and puncture resistance like EVA, an FDA food contact approval certificate and a certificate showing the compliance.

In the event you plan to sell icicles in large-scale, you are advised to know a few things about orderings as well as purchasing the glacier in bulk. So many options for the style, type, printing, and materials among others are some of these things you should know before thinking of operating the business of packaging and selling glacier in large-scale.

The quality of an eight pounds packs matters a lot. This is because packs that have been manufactured poorly tend to cause problems when filling them with the crystals. More so, the plastic can break if it is too thin thus creating losses. Good and high quality packs are not very expensive, and they are very convenient.

Since the designs and styles are many, you can choose the style you want. As an instance, you may choose the packs having open or plain tops, the ones having a drawstring or wicked top. More so, always check if the sacs meet the standards set by FDA as well as USDA regarding net weight and other labeling options like location, distributor, packer and food identity information.

On top of that, you should ensure that you check whether your packs have EVA additives. The additive makes the pack be durable and resistant to puncture. More so, it prevents brittleness when it is freezing. If you want your sacs to be custom made, you may provide the manufacturer with all the information and design so that they are made for you exclusively.
