What is a wicket bag?

 A wicket bag is a type of plastic bag that comes pre-packaged in a stack and is held together by two metal or plastic “wicket” wires, usually at the top opening of the bag. These wickets keep the bags organized and make them easy to dispense quickly, especially in high-volume packaging environments.

Key Features of Wicket Bags

• Attachment Method: Bags are stacked on a U-shaped wire (the “wicket”) with perforations or holes at the top to fit over the wire prongs.

• Quick Loading: The top bag can be pulled forward, filled, and torn off while the next bag stays in place.

• Material: Typically made from polyethylene (LDPE or HDPE), though other plastics can be used depending on application.

• Custom Options: Can be printed with branding, come in various sizes, and be made with anti-static or food-grade materials.

Custom-Printed Wicketed Bags Common Uses

• Food Packaging: Bread, tortillas, produce, meat, and bakery items.

• Industrial Packaging: Small parts, hardware, and assembly line components.

• Retail & E-Commerce: Apparel, accessories, or bulk items that need fast bagging.

Advantages

• Efficiency: Speeds up packaging in both manual and automated processes.

• Neat Organization: Keeps bags stacked neatly for easy access.

• Versatility: Suitable for both hand-packing and automated bagging machines.
