Parfois, les emballages comme les boîtes ou les étuis ne suffisent pas pour protéger vos produits dans vos colis. A ce moment-là, il vous faut vous doter des bons sachets d’emballage.

Seulement, le choix des sachets pour vos colis est pléthorique, et il est facile de s’y perdre facilement.

C’est pour vous aider à bien choisir vos sachets d’emballage que nos experts vous ont ici regroupé toutes les options à votre disposition, en fonction de vos marchandises, de leur volume et leur poids, mais également de l’expérience client que vous voulez créer.

Tout ce qu'il vous faut pour choisir les bons sachets pour vos colis

Les critères-clés pour choisir les sachets pour vos colis

Pour bien choisir les sachets que vous glisserez dans vos colis, il s’agit d’abord d’avoir bien en tête ces quelques critères de sélection.

Quelle matière choisir pour quelle utilisation ?

Les sachets d’emballage sont disponibles en plusieurs matières, correspondan

  • Polyethylene (PE) – This is a clear, water and shock resistant film that is flexible and easy to seal and is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
  • Polypropylene (PP) – This is a highly transparent and glossy film, recommended for product enhancement and presentation, making it ideal for textile and cosmetic applications.
  • Kraft paper? This is the most environmentally friendly material, offering excellent resistance to tearing and shattering. It is ideal for packaging heavy and/or sharp products, green waste, or for grouping various products.

which thickness to choose according to your protection needs?

The second crucial criterion is the thickness of the plastic bags you choose. Make sure you make the right choice between thicknesses of..

  • 20 to 30 microns, to perfectly protect light and not very fragile products
  • 40 to 60 microns, for perfect protection of medium weight products
  • 100 microns, for perfect protection of heavy products
  • 150 microns, for perfect protection of very heavy products

the thickness of paper bags is expressed in g/m2.

What type of closure for your bags?

When you talk about bags for parcels, you need to close them securely. Some of them can be closed with a sealer, but you can also choose between these different types of closures

  • The zip lock bag: this integrated closure is strong, for a quick and easy opening and closing
  • Adhesive closure bag: this is a silent and quick closure with repositionable or permanent adhesive tape
  • The drawstring bag: to be chosen if you are looking for an aesthetic closure above all
  • The slider closure bag: this secure and ultra-fast closure is ideal for repeated handling

pay attention to the eco-responsibility of your packaging bags!

At a time when consumers are increasingly aware of environmental issues, you can no longer do without packaging solutions that are as environmentally friendly as possible. In addition to kraft paper, which is a fundamentally eco-responsible material, you can also opt for plastic bags that are more environmentally friendly than traditional petroleum-based plastic bags. So make sure that the plastic bags you choose are..

  • Either made from recycled materials
  • Or recyclable
  • Or biosourced (i.e. made from renewable raw materials)

with these key criteria in mind, you can now make an informed choice about the bags you need for your parcels!
