These types of polyethylene (PE) sheeting are lightweight and should be selected based on the strength and durability needed:

• Most common: Use (Low Density Polyethylene) for applications needing softer, more malleable, plastic sheeting. LDPE is not recommended if heat or puncture resistance are needed.
• Most versatile: Chose LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene) for the most flexibility in use. It’s soft and pliable like HDPE, yet is stronger and more durable.
• Strongest: Use HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) for applications needing denser, more rigid, stronger plastic sheeting. Its molecular composition means HDPE can withstand higher temperatures than LDPE or LLDPE.

While we will verify the scannability of barcodes in your digital art files prior to submission for production, we do not guarantee end-use scannability of any printed barcodes. We recommend adhering to the minimum barcode size requirements and styles, which require a solid black vector barcode on a white background with a minimum barcode size of 1.2″ x 0.5″. Bar codes used for shrink sleeve labels should be placed vertically for best results.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a high density film that shrinks at low temperatures. PVC is the easiest film to control during shrinking, and it is also the most commonly used shrink sleeve material. It has excellent shrinkage, sharpness, print quality and a wide range of shrink temperatures and shrink ratios. PVC also has high impact strength for additional weather resistance. This wear-resistant shrink sleeve material is the lowest cost, but also less environmentally friendly than other shrink sleeve materials currently in use.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PETG) is a high density film with a high strength ratio and excellent clarity. While PETG is the most expensive and heat-resistant shrink sleeve material, they are the most abrasion-resistant, have a higher gloss, and have a higher shrinkage ratio. Additionally, PETG is pasteurizable and recyclable, features that are often sought in today’s market.

Polylactide or polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable thermoplastic made from renewable resources. The fact that PLA is biodegradable has increased its popularity in recent years, and in addition to its use as printed shrink sleeve labels, PLA is also used as a loose- filled flexible packaging material.

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is a recyclable thermoplastic material. Although EPS is a lightweight material, its light weight, relatively high mechanical strength, and high heat resistance make it an excellent insulator. EPS provides excellent fit product protection.

Use a ruler to measure the size of the label, itself, omitting the backing from your measurements.

Plastic bags, sheeting, and films are available in thicknesses ranging from thin & lightweight to thick & heavy duty. The measurement used for thickness, or gauge, is “mil”, which is about 1/1000th of an inch. Note that mil is a distinct unit of measure and NOT an abbreviation for millimeter. Edco Source offers plastic bags, sheeting, and films in gauges from 0.2 mil to 6 mil.

• Gauges up to 1 mils are the thinnest bags – used for lightweight or temporary needs
• 2-3 mil gauge plastics are widely used for medium duty applications, i.e., food transport
• 4 mil plastics provides heavier protection, i.e., manufacuring packaging for sharp or heavy items
• 6 mil plastics suit heavy-duty applications, i.e., construction tarps and puncture or tear resistance

Follow these steps:

1. Measure width (W), depth (D), and height (H) of the container. Note, when ordering bags height = length (L).
2. For perfectly square containers, W and D will be the same; for rectangular containers, W is the longer dimension and D is the shorter dimension.
3. When ordering bags, add 1″ each to the measured W and D.
4. Add a few extra inches to H to account for covering the contents or overhang. Based on the overall size of the container, H may be anywhere from 2″ for small containers to 12″ or more for large containers.

• Example:
  Container size: 15″ (W) x 11″ (D) x 20″ (H)
  Gusseted bag size: 16″ (W) x 12″ (D) x 24″ (H)

Follow these steps:

1. Measure width (W), depth (D), and height (H) of the container. Note, when ordering bags height = length (L).
2. For perfectly square containers, W and D will be the same; for rectangular containers, W is the longer dimension and D is the shorter dimension.
3. When ordering flat bags, W + D + 2″ = W you should order.
4. For H (L), add D + H + a few extra inches to H to account for covering the contents or overhang. Based on the overall size of the container, H may be anywhere from 2″ for small containers to 12″ or more for large containers.

• Example:
  Container size: 14″ (W) x 12″ (D) + 20″ (H)
  Flat bag size: 26″ (W) x 34″ (H)

Follow these steps:

1. Measure the height (H) of the container. Note, when ordering bags height = length.
2. Measure the diameter of the container. Then multiply the diameter by 3.14 to get the circumference. Divide the circumference by 2. This will result in the measurement to be used for width (W).
3. When ordering bags, add 1″ to the calculated W.
4. For H (L), use H (measured in step 1) PLUS diameter (measured in step 2). Add 2″ or more for overhang. 4″-6″ is common for most large trash bins.

• Example:
  Container size: 24″ (diameter) x 36″ (H)
  Flat bag size: 38″ (W) x 65″ (H)

Follow these steps:

1. Measure width (W), depth (D), and height (H) of the pallet. Note, when ordering bags height = length (L).
2. For perfectly square pallets, W and D will be the same; for non-square pallets, W is the longer dimension and D is the shorter dimension.
3. When ordering pallet covers, add 1″-2″ to the W and D of the pallet.
4. H (L) may vary based on the height of items on the pallet. A common guideline is to take the estimated height needed and add 1/2 the depth to it.

• Example:
  Pallet size: 30″ (W) x 26″ (D) x 35″ (H)
  Gusseted bag size: 32″ x 28″ x 48″

Follow these steps:

1. Measure width (W) across the bag from one edge to the other.
2. Measure height (H) from the bottom of the zip seal to the bottom of the bag. Do NOT include the zip or the lip between the zip seal and the opening of the bag in this measurement. Note, when ordering bags height = length (L).
3. If bags will be used for rigid items close to the size of the bag, add 1/2”-1” to the W and H so items will slip easily into the bag without tearing it.

• Example:
  Size of flat, rigid item: 5-1/2″ (W) x 11″ (H)
  Flat reclosable bag size: 6″ x 12″

Follow these steps:

1. Measure length (L) from the bottom of the slider closure to the bottom of the bag.
2. Measure width (W) across the bag from one edge to the other.
3. If bags will be used for rigid items close to the size of the bag, add 1/2”-3/4” to the L and W so items will slip easily into the bag without tearing it.

• Example:
  Size of flat, rigid item: 5-1/2″ (W) x 11″ (H)
  Flat slide seal reclosable bag size: 6″ x 12″
