Protecting the Sealing Safety of Bread, Paper, and Plastic Bags

Table of Content [Hide]

    Double-wire Metallic Twist Ties provide targeted securing solutions tailored to the characteristics of three major food packaging types, resolving common challenges in sealing, display, and transportation:


    Bread Bags: Lock in Freshness and Preserve Taste


    Bread bags (especially kraft paper and transparent plastic) require both sealing and ventilation. Double-wire metal twist ties offer these advantages:


    Sealing and Preserving Freshness: After cooling bread out of the oven, place it in a bag. Twist the bag opening with two to three twists of double-wire metal twist tie. This not only seals out dust and moisture, preventing the bread from drying out and mold, but also prevents moisture from leaking out and softening, maintaining a crispy crust and a soft interior.


    Organized Display: Bakeries use uniform lengths of twist tie to tie the same bread, with the bag openings facing the same direction, for neater shelf display and easier identification for consumers.


    Paper Bags: Strengthen and Prevent Looseness, Enhance Quality


    Kraft paper bags and food paper bags are commonly used for packaging snacks, pastries, and dry goods. Double-wire metal ties can solve the problem of looseness and difficulty securing paper bags:


    Reinforce the Bag Opening: Paper bags can easily deform and open under load. Using double-wire metal ties along the folded edge of the bag secures the fold, preventing food (such as biscuits and nuts) from falling out and protecting the bag from tearing due to its own weight.


    Enhance the Quality: Compared to ordinary cotton or plastic ties, metallic double-wire ties create a more refined look when paired with paper bags. They are particularly suitable for packaging high-end pastries and handmade snacks. The simple metallic sheen enhances the product's premium feel and makes the packaging more attractive.


    Plastic Bags: Non-slip and Sturdy, Suitable for Frequent Use


    Transparent plastic food bags and PE fresh-keeping bags are commonly used for packaging bulk snacks and fruits and vegetables. Double-wire metal ties offer significant advantages in terms of their non-slip properties:


    Non-slip and Secure: Plastic bags have a smooth surface, while ordinary ties tend to slip and loosen easily. The plastic coating on double-wire metal ties increases friction with the bag opening, preventing the ties from shifting even with repeated handling and squeezing, ensuring that the contents (such as candy, potato chips, and cherry tomatoes) do not leak out.


    Easy to Use: Supermarket and convenience store employees can quickly twist and cut double-wire metal ties by hand when packaging food, eliminating the need for tools. This significantly reduces the time it takes to pack a single bag, making it ideal for the high-volume, fast-paced packaging needs of retail environments. 


    Usage Tips: Make Food Packaging More Efficient and Beautiful


    Mastering these tips will maximize the advantages of double-wire metal ties, resulting in secure and elegant food packaging:


    For bread bags: When tying, leave 1-2 cm of excess space around the bag opening to avoid squeezing the bread and affecting its shape. Use colored ties to distinguish different bread flavors (e.g., red for red bean paste, yellow for pork floss) for easier customer selection.


    For paper bags: First, fold the bag opening inward 1-2 times, then tie with ties along the folded edge to enhance the seal and secure the bag. The folded edge also protects the bag from tearing.


    For plastic bags: Tie 3-5 cm from the bag opening to prevent the ties from falling off due to a short bag opening. When packaging liquid foods (such as yogurt and sauces), add an extra twist to enhance the seal. Bulk Storage: Store unused wire wraps in a dry, sealed box to prevent moisture-induced rust. When cutting, pre-cut to uniform lengths according to common packaging specifications to improve packaging efficiency.


    Conclusion: Small wire wraps, big impact: protecting food freshness and exquisite packaging


    Despite its compact size, this double-filament metal tie wrap, with its precise combination of plastic and double-galvanized wire, is an ideal fastener for bread bags, paper bags, and plastic bags. It ensures food freshness with safety and compliance, maintains packaging integrity with moderate strength, and improves packaging efficiency with ease. Whether in commercial settings like bakeries and supermarkets, or for home food packaging, it delivers high-quality packaging at a low cost, ensuring every portion of food arrives fresh and neatly packaged.
