Plastic Bags are Multi-Use Items
Most supermarkets and grocery stores provide plastic bags to customers so they can carry their items back to their car. Once they get back to their homes and unload everything into the kitchen, most of the time they just throw the bags away. Here’s a tip: keep those bags because they can reused for other purposes. Considering the material of plastic bags you can easily crumple a whole bunch of them up together, throw them into your car, and reuse them the next time you go grocery shopping.
You can also use bags in garbage cans. Most bags will fit small to medium trash cans. By doing this instead of buying dedicated trash bags, you will save a lot of money on your next trip to the supermarket.
If you ever cooked a lot of food and have guests over you understand that by the end of the night you will be wrapping up some of the food for your guests to bring home. There are, of course, going to need something to lug these containers in Again, this is where poly bags come in. You want visitors to safely and conveniently carry around the awesome leftovers you have left for them and what better way to do it?

Keeping Baked Goods Fresh with Poly Bags
Bakers pride themselves on the quality of their ingredients, the baking process, and keeping them hot and fresh to satisfy people’s hunger for food. Keeping them fresh is especially hard when you have to deliver them to grocery stores or other markets. One of the best ways bakers solve the problem of packaging, storing, and delivering baked goods is by placing them in poly bags.
Poly bag packaging keeps much of the air out while still keeping in much of the food’s inherent consistency and taste intact. This is a boon for consumers since no one wants to eat stale food or hard bread. Resealable packaging has certainly changed the face of the food industry. Without it, people would be forced to head out to their local grocery of food market every day for bread or other food. This has made buying and eating food more convenient for people. Obviously, bakers and the rest of the food industry absolutely love it. They can ship their goods to markets and maintain the freshness and quality without having to worry about their food being spoiled or contaminated on the journey there. And once they’ve arrived at the supermarket, they can store these packaged food items much longer than they would’ve had they not been packaged.
Without polyethylene bags, we would have to deal with large numbers of food spoiling early or going stale. We would be spending time worrying about our food instead of eating it!

Plastic Bags and the Progress of Civilization
Sometimes I’m so thankful that things come in plastic bags. I open up my chicken breasts and they are clean and fresh and I dispose the packaging. It’s all made so easy.
When people say that all of time is cyclical, I wonder. They didn’t have plastic bags two thousand years ago. They had slavery and murder and war. But you still have that today; except instead of wearing chains you’re inculcated with propaganda. So things haven’t really changed at all. But what about the plastic bag? It makes it so much easier to eat. Yes but instead of learning where your food comes from, and appreciating it after having earned it, you sit in a cubicle and pretend to earn it and eat your hormone fed chicken from the grocery store. It may be easier, but is it any more true? That’s a good point, I tell myself, and I drift off to sleep.
But I wake in the morning, and think about my negative self, the pessimistic side as I use my modern plumbing which is much easier and more comfortable than any other option in history and as I take my coffee out of its plastic bag I think that we have come a ways since Ancient Times because more people have greater access to happiness than ever before. Even if it does come in the form of plastic bag wrapped chicken or modern plumbing.

Plastic Resealable Bags Changed Eating!
It’s strange to think but there was a time that every time you needed to eat something you would go to specialty stores for each item. A butcher would give you meat, you would buy your produce from one dealer and dairy 
from another. It could not have been very convenient. The frequent trips were likely time consuming and the fact that the food needed to be eaten in one sitting or risk going bad was enough to make anyone feel wasteful.
Luckily thanks to the ingenuity of a plastic manufacturer or two, plastic resealable bags became a money saver and a time saver in conjunction with refrigeration of course. Now we could load up a bag with our leftovers seal it and put it in the fridge or ice box and assume that bugs and other nasty things would not get in. It was a huge leap forward for mankind and a great boon to late night snacking.
Eating on the run? Eating leftovers? Eating during off hours without going to a restaurant or market? It would seem incredibly likely that if these are things you indulge in there is a plastic manufacturer somewhere who deserves a debt of gratitude.

Plastic Packaging Keeping Gadgets Safe
Tis the season to order massive amounts of electronics from the internet. We love few things more in our modern global society than giving the gifts of high tech gadgetry to our friends and family. It is the new national pastime. These days keeping up with the neighbors is less about your aluminum siding and more about how fast your touchscreen tablet works. You want to give the gift of the latest and greatest gadgets without having to fight through huge lines to take care of purchasing them. So we hit the web and wait somewhat patiently for them to arrive.
When they do we rarely worry about whether they work or not. We have gotten quite presumptuous with our internet purchasing and the delivery services that get them there. They stay safe thanks to the open ended flat bags made by the folks at Excellent Poly Bags. This plastic packaging is the only thing standing between your brand new electronic device and the cold hard pavement under the feet of your local delivery person.
Yet we barely notice it. This holiday season you will watch as the people you love tear apart the wrapping paper and start using whatever exciting electronic device they’ve received. They’ll thank you, but maybe you should be thanking a poly bag.

Plastic Mailers Vs. Soggy Mail
A cold and damp day can be a huge drag on everyone’s mood. We often find ourselves wet and uncomfortable but still having to get our jobs done and run errands and the like. Things are even worse if you are a mail carrier. You have to hoist yourself and your overloaded mail bag up and down wet slippery stairs whether it’s raining, snowing 
or an oppressive hail storm. While you are at it piles of mail are getting soaked. It makes you wonder if any of it will even be legible by the time it gets to it’s recipients.
It is with that in mind that most of us would prefer our mail be sent in plastic mailers. These poly mailers will preserve important documents or lovely written sentiments even in dramatic and unpleasant weather conditions, ensuring you get to enjoy your mail without having to hang it on a close line or using a hair dryer to rescue it.
There is a lot of mail to look forward to and a lot more that is vitally important to receive. To do so in a way that compromises it’s communicative ability like smudged soaked mail is just not going to work. Wrap that mail in plastic!

New Species of Polyethylene Bags
It’s that time of the year again. Time for cold windy days, when even the weakest breezes can make plastic bags look like animals. I’m never amazed at the plastic bags I mistake for animals. You’d think that after so many years of living in the city and being tricked by plastics and wind, I’d start to develop a sense for determining the shudder of polyethylene bags as what they are. Alas, no. Just the other day I saw what I thought was a raven. I hadn’t seen such a large bird for a few weeks at least, do ravens fly south for the winter, but perhaps the unseasonably warm weather — no, it was simply a torn black bag stuck in a tree, unfurled and flapping in the wind.
Then there’s the creeper: a floating plastic bag that scurries over the street very close to the ground, often mistaken for a rat or cat. These are fairly common, and are often seen next to car wheels, where they hide, waiting, or even on sidewalks where they hover before sometimes sprouting wings and rising high into the air.
There are undiscovered species o f plastic bags too. Who knows what this winter will reveal.

Custom Bag Recycling
I was biking down the street today and I saw one of the old green Recycle Program signs. These are a remnant from the ’90s when recycling was taken about as seriously as those signs that said $100 fine for not picking up your dog poop. It brought me back to the innocence of the early Clinton years, a world ago, when plastic bags weren’t even used as much as paper.
Today a lot is different. In New York, Bloomberg has passed legislation making the recycling of plastic bags themselves mandatory, an idea which was unheard and uncared about fifteen years ago. People have started taking into consideration what our choices mean for future generations, in a culmination of the Earth Day awareness that began in the ’70s. Many of the newest plastic bags are already made of recycled ones. Many a custom bag is made of corn starch and can dissolve in four months. Today scientists and developers pay special attention to create plastics out of biodegradable fibers. That wasn’t even on their minds ten years ago.
It all makes me wonder what the plastic bags of the future will look like and how they will feel, what our attention will turn to in another generation, and what new problems may present themselves.

If Only We Had Plastic Bags Back Then
Plastic bags are pretty strong. If there had been plastic bags hundreds of years ago the world would be very different today. Take Rapunzel, for example. She would’ve been able to tie plastic bags together to get out of her castle instead of growing her hair out, which would’ve taken much less time. She could’ve used the plastic bags her father delivered her food in to tie up and let her lover climb up.
Could you make a parachute out of a hundred plastic bags knotted together? Isn’t that what a parachute is anyway? It would have made it easier for the soldiers in WWI. And if we had had plastic bags during the cowboy days, their packs would’ve been much lighter and their horses wouldn’t have struggled so.
But all of this is coulda woulda shoulda stuff. Fact is, we didn’t have plastic bags back in those days. And that’s led to the way the world is today. Since we have them today, however, that gives us that much more incentive to use them properly. From newspaper bags to staple packs there are so many ways to make use of plastics. Just remember to recycle them when you’re done.
