Poly Bags
Wicket
Side-weld poly bags stacked on metal wickets for fast, high-volume packing.
What are wicket bags?
Wicketed poly bags are designed for fast, efficient packing in high-volume production environments. They come stacked on metal wickets in sets of 100 or more, so workers or automated systems can pull bags one at a time.
They are a type of side weld poly bag with two punched holes and a lip at the top for mounting on a wicket stand.
