Wicketed Poly Bags

When your team is packing thousands of items a day, the last thing you need is loose bags slowing things down. Wicketed poly bags solve that problem by keeping every bag lined up, open, and ready to fill. It’s a small change that makes a big difference on fast-moving lines for bread, produce, diapers, apparel, and more.

What are the Benefits of Bags on Wickets?

Faster packaging

Wicketed polythene bags stay stacked, aligned, and ready to grab, so your team doesn’t have to wrestle with loose bundles or bags that won’t open.

Consistent, tidy presentation

Because every bag on the wicket is held at the same angle and position, fills stay consistent and seals come out cleaner. And that means better-looking retail items.

Built for a smooth run

We tailor the thickness, spacing, perforations, and gussets so your wicketed bags feed smoothly and hold up without tearing.

Design Your Wicketed Poly Bags

Little tweaks go a long way. Customize your wicketed plastic bags to suit your product, your workflow, and the way your team packs.
