5. Operating Instructions

Using the Aviditi Poly Flat Bag involves placing your items inside and then sealing the bag to protect the contents.

5.1 Filling the Bag

• Gently open the bag by separating the two sides at the opening.
• Carefully insert the product(s) into the bag, ensuring they fit without excessive strain on the seams.
• Leave sufficient space at the top for proper closure.

5.2 Sealing the Bag

There are several common methods to close these poly bags:

1. Twist Ties: Gather the top of the bag, twist it tightly, and secure with a twist tie.
2. Bag Tape: Fold the top of the bag over and seal it with adhesive bag tape.
3. Heat Sealing: For a more secure and tamper-evident seal, use an impulse heat sealer. Follow the instructions provided with your heat sealer for optimal results.

6. Maintenance and Storage

Proper maintenance and storage will ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your Aviditi Poly Flat Bags.

• Storage: Store unused bags in their original packaging or a clean, dry, and cool environment away from direct sunlight.
• Temperature: Avoid extreme temperatures, as prolonged exposure to high heat can cause the polyethylene to degrade or stick together.
• Sharp Objects: Keep bags away from sharp objects or abrasive surfaces to prevent punctures or tears.
• Cleaning: If a bag becomes dusty, gently wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

7. Troubleshooting

While Aviditi Poly Flat Bags are simple to use, here are some common issues and their solutions:

• Bag Tears Easily:
  • Ensure contents do not have sharp edges.
  • Avoid overfilling the bag.
  • Check for external factors like rough surfaces during handling.
• Difficulty Sealing:
  • If using twist ties or tape, ensure the bag opening is gathered tightly and cleanly.
  • If heat sealing, verify your heat sealer settings (temperature and dwell time) are appropriate for 2 mil polyethylene.
• Bags Sticking Together:
  • This can occur in humid or hot conditions. Store bags in a cool, dry place.
  • Gently separate bags by fanning them or applying slight pressure.
