At DeerPak Industries, we have been manufacturing all types of plastic bags for industrial use, which includes wicket bags. Wicket bags help our customers increase their packaging speeds and efficiencies which saves money and time and leads to increased profitability.

If you are looking to purchase wicket bags, then please reach out to us today. We can help you decide on a custom order of wicket bags with our custom manufacturing capabilities.

Wicketed bags are stacked plastic bags that get arranged neatly on a wire wicket and gets held in place with rubber washers and, sometimes, a chipboard header. Wicket bags typically have a 1.5″ lip with starter notches and/or side notches.

In general, these bags get manufactured with some different features, including:

• with a bottom gusset
• full or butterfly vents
• perforations
• printing
• color tint

On top of that, these bags can be made with permanent or resealable tape for easy closing.

A full wicket of bags usually consists of 100 or 250 bags per wicket. However, this option can be customized depending on the size and gauge (thickness of material) of the bag.

Since wicket bags get stacked together after their manufacturing, they will improve anybody’s packing process. During the manufacturing, these bags can include fully or semi-automatic packing equipment that further increase packing speed and eliminates the unpacking of bags from a box one at a time. Save time by packing and packaging when you use wicket bags.

Since we are an in-house manufacturer, we can provide you with the exact measurements for the plastic bags. Many people find that having neatly stacked bags of any size increases the speed at which packaging operators can complete their tasks and the increased efficiencies offset the increased cost of the bag.

How Are Wickets Designed?

Wicket bags are available in different sizes. These bags have a shoulder and a leg and the wicket size is referenced to as the shoulder width by the leg length. In other words, a 5″ x 4″ wicket has a 5″ shoulder and a 4″ leg. When you turn to DeerPak Industires for the manufacturing of wicket bags, you have the option to customize them as you please. Common sizes for these bags range from 2” x 2.5” to 14” x 6” and the wickets can be with-ball-end or without-ball-end (plain end).

Who Uses Wicketed Bags?

Wicketed bags are offered for both food and non-food packaging. These bags can be manufactured in many sizes, which allows them to be used for a variety of reasons. Many food packaging lines are equipped with automatic packing equipment. And many industrial packaging lines are equipped with workstations that are designed to hold the wicket of bags. This way the packaging operator is free to easily remove a bag from the wicket after the product is placed inside. The use of these bags speeds up any packing process.

How Do You Seal Wicket Bags?

Wicket bags are very easy to close. You can use tape to close them. Zipper closures can also be an option in a customizable way. The most traditional closure options are heat sealing and zip ties. There are a number of options available for protecting your product once inside the bag, too. All of these features make for a great packing bag.

What is the Cost of Wicket Bags?

As with any custom manufactured plastic bag, the cost of it is dependent on the specific design. There are so many options available to you as a buyer when it comes to wicket bags, so it is hard to give an exact cost. Wicketed bags are normally priced in per thousand quantities. The end price depends on the size, the thickness of material, and the value-added features necessary to meet your specifications. We can consult with you to provide you with a fair and accurate estimate for the cost of manufacturing these custom wicket bags.
