Wet Pack Bags

Wet pack bags are thin white HDPE plastic bags that grocery, meat, seafood and takeout counters use to keep cold, wet or leaky items away from the rest of an order. Bag the package of chicken, the fish, the frozen food or the soup first, then put it in the carry-out bag, and the dry goods stay dry.

What Are Wet Pack Bags Used For?

  • Meat, poultry and seafood: a second bag around packages that can drip at the checkout or the butcher counter.
  • Frozen and refrigerated food: keeps condensation from frozen items, ice cream and dairy off paper bags and other groceries.
  • Produce: wet greens and cut fruit.
  • Takeout: soups, sauces and drinks, so a spill stays inside the bag.

Wet Pack Bag Sizes

Wet pack bags are sized like standard paper grocery bags, from a #4 (5" x 3" x 11") up to a #20 (8" x 5" x 18"), so the right size is the paper bag number you already use. Every size is 0.5 mil white high density polyethylene (HDPE): thin, strong for its weight and opaque.

Counter Packs, Sold by the Case

The bags come in easy-dispensing counter packs that sit next to the register or on the meat case, 500 or 1,000 bags to a case. They're FDA compliant for food contact. Volume pricing, and free shipping on orders over $2,000. For the carry-out bag itself, see our T-shirt bags; for heavier meat bags, see utility meat bags.
