Packaging Quality Standards: What You Should Know Before Ordering

Polyethylene bags have long become an essential part of our daily lives — from food storage to packaging goods in supermarkets and online stores. However, many customers are unaware that there are strict quality standards for bags, and compliance with these standards directly affects the durability, strength, safety, and environmental friendliness of the packaging. In this article, we will review the key parameters used to assess the quality of polyethylene bags and explain why it’s important to choose certified products.

Key quality indicators for polyethylene bags

The quality of a bag is determined not only by its appearance but primarily by its physical and mechanical properties and compliance with technical requirements. Here are the key factors:

  • Film thickness — measured in microns (μm). The optimal thickness depends on the intended use (e.g., small packaging bags — from 20 μm, "T-shirt" bags — from 35 μm, branded bags with logo — from 50 μm).
  • Tensile and tear strength — bags must withstand specific loads without deformation. These values depend on the type of polyethylene (HDPE or LDPE), as well as the presence of reinforcement or double seams.
  • Thickness consistency — the film should have an even thickness across the entire surface without thin or thick spots, as this affects strength and appearance.
  • Seam quality — the welds must remain sealed even under maximum load. This is crucial for product safety and preventing tearing.
  • Material safety — bags intended for food use must be certified according to food safety requirements (e.g., ISO 22000).

International and national standards

Responsible manufacturers produce bags in accordance with Ukrainian and international standards:

  • ISO 9001 — quality management system. Ensures control at every stage of production.
  • ISO 22000 — food safety. Especially important for packaging bags used in the food industry.
  • ISO 14001 — environmental management. Guarantees responsible waste handling, recyclability, and minimal environmental impact.
  • ДСТУ — national standards of Ukraine defining the requirements for parameters, packaging, labeling, and storage of polyethylene products.

How to check the quality before placing an order

Before ordering large batches of bags, we recommend:

  1. Requesting samples and testing them under conditions as close to real usage as possible.
  2. Reviewing quality certificates — the manufacturer should provide them upon request.
  3. Paying attention to design, print quality, and seam strength — especially important for branded bags.
  4. Consulting with a manager — an experienced specialist will help select the optimal packaging parameters for your needs.
