CLEAN-UP.
Seals
Star seal
Star seal bags have greater vertical
strength because the underside of the
bag is gathered, folded and sealed at
the centre of the base of the bag.
Choose a star seal bag for:
l Preventing leaks – sealed at the centre,
the bag is less likely to leak through a
seam
l Heavy duty applications – the bag will
hold more weight without breaking
l Easy removal – the star seal gives the
bag a more rounded shape when full,
making it easier to remove from the
garbage bin
Flat seal
A flat seal is where the seal has been
applied to run from one side to the
other side of the bag. The flat design
of the bags mean that they do not fit as
well to the shape of most garbage bins.
Choose a flat seal bag for:
l Reducing costs – flat seal bags
maximise volume capacity
l Light duty applications – flat seals
are not as strong as star seals or
gusseted seals
Gusset seal
A gusset seal bag is similar to a flat seal
but with both sides tucked in to make a
gusset.
Choose a gusset seal bag for:
l Maximising volume capacity – the
extra width provided by the gusset
allows more garbage to fit in the bag
l Wheelie bins – the gusset seal gives
the bag a more rectangular or
square shape, making it a good fit for
wheelie bins
