Characteristics Of 8 Lb Ice Cube Bags

By Helen Jones


During summer, you will find that the weather is too hot hence more people will tend to buy packaged glacier to use with their drinks. The demand for the glacier packs is high. Thus the marinas, hotels, catering departments, convenience stores, and distributors make such high profits. The demand for the icicles is also quite high throughout the year. The 8 lb ice cube bags are normally the most sought after because they have medium packaging capacity.

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.

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.

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 to that, make sure to check if the sacs contain the metallocene and EVA additives to enhance their strength as well as puncture resistance. More so, the additives make the sacs not to be brittle in freezing atmosphere. In case you need your sacs to be customized exclusively for your needs, you will have to give a design to the manufacturer together with other information.
