Product description
- Shouldered or straight cut — chosen to suit your hanger
- Hanger hole at the top
- Mono-material 100% polyethylene
- Flexographic printing, up to eight colours; also produced unprinted
Dry cleaning bags are polyethylene film bags in which a garment is packed while it stays on the hanger after cleaning. There is a hole at the top of the bag for the hanger to pass through, and the top edge can be cut two ways: shouldered, so that it sits on the shoulder of the hanger, or straight. That is what sets this product apart from DEKA’s other PE bags — the bag is shaped around the hanger.
Production
The product is mono-material 100% polyethylene; there is no lamination, no barrier layer, no metallised layer and no non-polyethylene component such as paper, aluminium or polyamide. The film is produced in our own facilities by blown extrusion. Flexographic printing is applied in our own facilities and goes up to eight colours. Cutting and sealing are also done in our own facilities.
Shouldered or straight?
The choice follows the hanger you use. In a shouldered cut the top of the bag is narrowed and sits on the shoulder of the hanger. In a straight cut the top edge runs straight across. Tell us how your rail is arranged and how the garment hangs, and we will decide together which one suits you.
Variants
A side or bottom gusset can be given. The surface can be gloss or matt. The film gauge is chosen to suit the job; printing goes up to eight colours and the bag is also produced unprinted.
Material and compliance
The product is mono-material polyethylene. Where recycled content is required, recycled polyethylene can be used at the requested share.
If you ship into the EU, this product falls within the scope of our declaration of material composition; you can find which documents you may request on our PPWR compliance page.
