What Sets These Food Grade Nylon Bags Apart
The material is the whole story here, and it is nylon rather than polyethylene. It is 100% food grade and free of BPA. The rated range runs from minus 100 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. That is why the same bag works in a deep freeze and in a conventional oven. A polyethylene oven bag from a supermarket shelf does not carry that span. Carrying capacity is 45 lb, which is the figure that actually decides how full you can safely fill one. The bottom seam is double sealed, because the bottom is where a loaded bag splits first. The material is tear and puncture resistant, and it stands up to fat, grease, oil and water. Each bag measures 24 in by 40 in and the pack holds a hundred of them. The pack weighs 12.0 lbs. The barcode is 847127010303. Nothing about the bag needs a machine: it ties, folds or clips shut.
Choosing Between 8 Gallon Storage Bags and the Smaller Sizes
This size sits at the top of the range, and the rest of it steps down in useful increments. Below it come the four gallon at eighteen by twenty four inches and the three gallon at eighteen by twenty. Smallest is the two gallon at twelve by twenty. Match the bag to one unit of whatever you are handling rather than to the biggest thing you own. An oversized bag wastes material and leaves air space that works against you in storage. Two numbers deserve respect rather than rounding. The carrying capacity is a limit, not a target, and wet material gets heavy faster than people expect in a bag this size. The 400 degree ceiling is likewise a maximum rather than a working temperature, so leave headroom when something goes into an oven. The low end is the more useful half for most growers here. Minus 100 degrees means a chest freezer is nowhere near the limit. That is what makes nylon worth its premium over a film that embrittles and cracks when cold. On pack size, a hundred bags is a commercial quantity. A smaller pack of the same dimensions exists if that is more than a season needs.
