Characteristics Of 8 Lb Ice Cube Bags

By Helen Jones


When summer is in full swing, the weather becomes too hot thus the demand for packaged icicles is usually at the peak. This is usually the time when convenience stores, marinas, catering companies, hotels and other distributors of the packaged icicles benefit the most because of the rise in sales. The sale of ice takes place through the year as well. Having the 8 lb ice cube bags is very convenient as they are the standard measure of a glacier and they are fast moving.

These crystal sacs usually have pre-printed information as required by the FDA as well as the USDA. Their openings are large hence it is easy to package the crystals in them. They have drawstrings of 1.5 mil thickness, 11 ml width, and 18 ml length. More so, they contain virgin resins that have been approved for food contact by both FDA and the USDA.

Additives such as metallocene and EVA are used when manufacturing the packs, and they aim to increase the strength of the sacs. More so, the elements increase the resistance of the packs to puncture and are important in making the sacs not to be brittle in a freezing environment. The sacs are pre-printed with a picture of a polar bear that is standing on snow with the words pure icicle on it.

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.

If you are planning on selling the glacier in wholesale, it is important that you know some few things that pertain the ordering or the purchasing wholesale glacier sacs. There are so many options regarding materials, types, size, and printing among others that you are required to know before you start this kind of business.

It is important to check how good your eight pounds are. Thus, their quality is so important. The reason behind this is that packs made poorly will cause problems while packing the crystals. Additionally, they can refuse to open well and break instead thus causing more problems and losses. Buying high quality packs is thus advisable.

You can also decide to select a style that you will like your eight pounds capacity pack to have. For example, you may decide to pick the ones with open tops, wicketed packs or drawstring packs. Additionally, ensure that you have checked whether the pack has met the FDA requirements during pre-printing. The requirements include the identity of the food, net weight, location, distributor as well as the packer of the icicles.

More so, it is wise to check whether the packs have the EVA additives to make them stronger and preventing brittleness in freezing weather. If you would like to have your packs custom-made, you can give the manufacturer the design you want as well as the information to be printed on the packs to have them made exclusively for you.
