How thick is 2 Mil.
2 Mil. = 50.8 Microns = .0508 Millimeters = 2/1000 inch. The standard household
Ziploc® Brand sandwich bag is 1.5 Mil. The heavier freezer bags sold in stores are
generally 1.75 Mil.
2 Mil. is the standard industry thickness.
How thick
is 4 Mil.
4 Mil. = 101.6 Microns = .1016 Millimeters = 4/1000 inch. 4 Mil bags are twice
as thick as the 2 Mil. bags and considered heavyweight.

Size specifications
On the product listing pages the first number (W) is the width of the bag, the
second number (H) is the height. The width measures the size of the bag's opening.
The height is the distance from the zipper to the bottom of the bag. In other
words, the dimensions are approximately equal to the inside dimensions. A 3"x4"
piece of paper would just fit inside a 3"x4" Zip® bag.
How
accurate is sizing?
The size allowance for the plastic bags is +/- 1/8 inch.

Are prices per 100 or per 1000 bags?
Prices are per thousand bags. (1000 bags)
When will my order ship
99.5% of orders are shipped within one business day.
Water resistance
of Zip® Bags
No plastic bags are waterproof. Left in contact with excess humidity or water,
moister will eventually build inside all standard LDPE plastic bags.
Is it safe to order online?

by the Paypal secure computer system. Credit card numbers are not seen by the
staff at GTZIP®. Paypal is a trusted online payment gateway which is used
by millions. If there were ever any problems GTZIP® would assume full responsibility

Why do you not carry bags less than 2 Mil.?
2 Mil. is considered the minimum guage for which the zipper can be molded as one
piece with the bag. For Zip® bags less than 2 Mil. the zipper must be laminated
on - this results in a noticeable loss of strength.
