Why Choose Wicket Bags?

Wicket Bags Provide the Perfect Solution for Large Automatic Runs

You’re ready to package a fairly bulky product such as poultry or apples. Maybe you’re pressed for time and want to get your product into the market as fast as possible with as much quantity as is practical. What are your options? You need a solution that minimizes time spent in the factory and maximizes time on the shelf displaying your product. Well, Maco PKG as your food packaging company likely has the perfect solution for you.

The Answer? Wicket Bags!

Wicket bags were first manufactured to provide an efficient but fast way to package large quantities of bulky product. They’re individually cut with a durable bottom gusset and an open top. The opening has two holes on opposite sides that allow a lower-case “n” shaped metal wire to be threaded through as handles. They are easily ported to various locations.

Available Options for your Wicket Bags

Maco PKG provides several options for wicket bags, depending on the end use. For example, we can include a tear-start opening for easy access or headers and seals in whatever size you want. If you need your wicket bag to be adhesive we can manufacture them with Ethylene Vinyl Acetate. If you’re packaging clothing, we can include Ultraviolet Index to protect your product from UV rays, which can cause colors to fade.

An Effective Advertising Tool

In addition to providing an inexpensive way to package anywhere from 100 to 250 on automated packaging machines, wicket bags offer an excellent advertising strategy. We can print your logo or brand name in up to six colors. You can greatly increase your audience’s recognition of your quality product when you incorporate printing on your bags.

Dependable for a Variety of Products

Wicket bags are most often used for bulky products like meat, vegetables and non-perishables. They have strong walls that are able to endure sharp edges from products without tearing. The wire handles present an easy way to port even heavier products like potatoes and ice.
