\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

Plastpack \(formerly known as Churchill \& Coombes\) supplies incinerate waste bags for hospitals, clinics, laboratories, pathology services and pharmaceutical operations across Australia\. These are red printed bags carrying the words "Incinerate Waste Only", made to contain waste streams that must be sent for incineration\. The range covers 34, 65 and 240 litre sizes to suit bench bins through to large collection points\. Incinerate waste is a regulated stream, so these bags should be used within your facility's waste management procedures and the standards that apply to your operation\.

\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

Incinerate waste bags contain waste that must be disposed of by incineration, keeping it separated from other clinical and general waste streams from the point of collection through to transport\. The red colour and the printed "Incinerate Waste Only" message make the stream unmistakable to staff and handlers, which reduces the risk of waste going down the wrong disposal route\. Because incinerate waste is regulated, the correct segregation, storage and disposal are set by the standards and procedures that apply to your facility, not by the bag alone\. We keep this information factual and specification\-led and direct users to follow the relevant regulations and qualified procedures\.

Plastpack \(formerly known as Churchill \& Coombes\) supplies 55 litre autoclave bags for hospitals, laboratories, pathology services, research facilities and pharmaceutical operations across Australia\. The bag is a yellow printed 55 litre bag, 570mm wide by 700mm long, designed to hold laboratory and clinical waste through the autoclave sterilisation process before disposal\. Yellow is the recognised colour for clinical waste segregation, and the printed bag makes the waste stream clear at a glance\. Autoclave bags are a regulated\-use product: they should be used within your facility's waste management procedures and the standards that apply to your operation\.

\<div class="site\_des"\>

Autoclave bags hold laboratory, medical and pharmaceutical waste while it is sterilised under high\-temperature steam, so the material can be handled and disposed of according to the facility's procedures\. The bag needs to stay intact at sterilisation temperature and be large enough for the waste load, which is what the 55 litre size and printed yellow film are built for\. Because clinical and laboratory waste is regulated, the correct use, sterilisation cycle and disposal route are set by the standards and procedures that apply to your facility, not by the bag alone\. We keep this information factual and specification\-led and direct users to follow the relevant regulations and qualified procedures\.

\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

Plastpack \(formerly known as Churchill \& Coombes\) manufactures mattress bags at our Sydney facility for removalists, self\-storage operators, mattress manufacturers, furniture retailers and commercial cleaners across Australia\. A mattress bag keeps dust, moisture, dirt and pests off the mattress through transport and storage, which protects the product and keeps it saleable or ready to redeliver\. We stock five sizes from single through to king in clear film, with the larger sizes made with a side gusset and heavier 120 micron film\. Because we extrude our own film and form the bags in house, we can also make mattress bags to your exact dimension and gauge\.

\<div class="site\_des"\>

Our range covers the standard Australian mattress sizes\. The single and double bags run 75 to 80 micron, while the deeper double, queen and king bags step up to 120 micron with a side gusset to take the extra depth of a pillow\-top or thicker mattress\.

\<h2 class="product\_cat\_des\_green\_title22"\>Why Gusset and Gauge Matter\</h2\>
\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

A flat bag struggles to fit a modern pillow\-top mattress without stretching thin at the corners, which is where tears start\. The side gusset on our larger bags adds width across the depth of the mattress so the bag slides on cleanly and sits without strain\. Gauge does the rest: 75 to 80 micron is enough for a single or double moved once, while 120 micron stands up to repeated handling, longer storage and the weight of stacked mattresses in a warehouse or truck\. Matching the size and gauge to the job is the difference between a bag that arrives intact and one that splits on the first corner\.

\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

Mattress bags are a working consumable across several trades\.
\<ul\>
 	\<li\>Removalists protecting mattresses through loading, transit and delivery\</li\>
 	\<li\>Self\-storage operators keeping stored mattresses clean and dust free\</li\>
 	\<li\>Mattress manufacturers and wholesalers bagging finished stock for dispatch\</li\>

\<h2 class="product\_cat\_des\_green\_title22"\>Why Buy Mattress Bags from the Manufacturer\</h2\>
\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

Most suppliers buy finished mattress bags and resell them, so the size and gauge are fixed by someone else's catalogue\. Plastpack has manufactured plastic bags and film in Sydney since 1928\. We extrude our own film and form the bags on site, which gives trade buyers a few things a reseller cannot\.
\<ul\>
 	\<li\>Custom sizes and gauges made to your mattresses, including extra\-length and specialty sizes\.\</li\>
 	\<li\>Heavier 120 micron gusseted film for repeated handling and long storage, not just a single move\.\</li\>
 	\<li\>Consistent specification from run to run, so the bag that fit last order fits this order\.\</li\>
 	\<li\>Held film stock and fast dispatch Australia wide, with standing orders for removalists and storage operators who reorder regularly\.\</li\>
 	\<li\>Printing available for branding, so removalists and retailers can put their logo on the bag through our \<a href="https://www\.plasticbags\.com\.au/product\-category/customised\-printed\-bags/"\>custom printed bags\</a\> service\.\</li\>

\</div\>
\<div class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title\_box"\>
\<h3 class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title"\>What size mattress bag do I need?\</h3\>
\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

Match the bag to the mattress: single or king single takes the 1230mm bag, double the 1390mm, queen the 1580mm gusseted bag, and king the 1880mm gusseted bag\. For deep or pillow\-top mattresses, choose a gusseted 120 micron size\.

\</div\>
\<div class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title\_box"\>
\<h3 class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title"\>What thickness should a mattress bag be?\</h3\>
\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

75 to 80 micron suits a single or double moved once\. For repeated handling, warehouse storage or stacking, 120 micron gives the tear resistance needed\. The larger sizes come in 120 micron as standard\.

\</div\>
\<div class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title\_box"\>
\<h3 class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title"\>What does the side gusset do?\</h3\>
\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

The side gusset adds width across the depth of the mattress, so the bag fits a thick or pillow\-top mattress without stretching thin at the corners\. It makes the bag easier to slide on and less likely to tear\.

\</div\>
\<div class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title\_box"\>
\<h3 class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title"\>Can you make a custom mattress bag size?\</h3\>
\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

Yes\. We manufacture to your dimensions, including extra\-length, specialty and non\-standard mattress sizes, in the gauge that suits your handling\. Send us the mattress size and we will confirm the specification\.

\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

Plastpack \(formerly known as Churchill \& Coombes\) manufactures food grade carton liners at our Sydney facility for food processors, produce packers, seafood and meat wholesalers and manufacturers across Australia\. A carton liner sits inside the box and takes the direct contact with the product, so the carton stays clean and reusable while the food is protected from moisture, dirt and contamination from the packing line through to delivery\. Because we extrude our own polyethylene film and form the liners in house, the food\-grade specification and gauge stay consistent from carton to carton\.

\<h2 class="product\_cat\_des\_green\_title22"\>What a Carton Liner Does\</h2\>
\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

The liner is the barrier between the food and the box\. It keeps moisture, dust and handling contamination off the product, holds any moisture or leakage away from the carton so the box stays dry and reusable, and gives a clean, food\-grade surface in direct contact with the product\. For chilled and cold\-chain lines it holds condensation and helps maintain presentation through transport and storage\. Lining the carton also means the same box can be reused rather than thrown out after one wet load, which cuts packaging cost per run\.

\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

Clear liners are the everyday choice across produce, bakery, seafood and general food packing, letting staff see the contents at a glance\. Blue liners are used in operations that run a visual detection program, where a coloured liner is easier to spot against food if a fragment ends up where it should not be\. Both are made to food\-grade standards, and we can supply the specification your quality program requires\. We keep claims to what the material genuinely is and recommend confirming that a liner suits the requirements of your particular product and process\.

\<div class="site\_des"\>

Buying food packaging through a reseller puts a layer between you and the material specification\. Plastpack has manufactured plastic bags and film in Sydney since 1928\. We extrude our own film and form the liners on site, which matters when the liner is in direct contact with food\.
\<ul\>
 	\<li\>Food\-grade material with certification supplied to meet your quality requirements\.\</li\>
 	\<li\>Custom sizes made to your exact carton, with perforations if you need them, rather than a near\-enough stock size\.\</li\>
 	\<li\>Consistent gauge and specification from run to run, so a validated pack stays validated\.\</li\>
 	\<li\>Clear and blue film options for standard packing and visual\-detection programs\.\</li\>

\<div class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title\_box"\>
\<h3 class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title"\>What is a food grade carton liner?\</h3\>
\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

It is a polyethylene liner that sits inside a carton and takes direct contact with the food, keeping the product clean and protected while keeping the box dry and reusable\. Ours are made to food\-grade standards in clear and blue film\.

\</div\>
\<div class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title\_box"\>
\<h3 class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title"\>What sizes do carton liners come in?\</h3\>
\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

We stock five sizes from 460 x 360 x 900mm up to 700 x 500 x 1160mm, in 15 to 25 micron film\. If your carton falls outside these, we manufacture liners to your dimensions\.

\</div\>
\<div class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title\_box"\>
\<h3 class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title"\>Why are some carton liners blue?\</h3\>
\</div\>
\<div class="site\_des"\>

Blue liners are used in food operations that run a visual detection program, because a coloured liner is easier to spot against food if a fragment ends up in the product\. Clear liners suit most general food packing\.

- [Bags with Gusset](https://www.plasticbags.com.au/product/bags-with-gusset/): \<div class="product\_cat\_third\_sec\_main\_box"\>
\<h2 class="product\_cat\_des\_green\_title22"\>Gusseted Polypropylene Bags, Made in Australia\</h2\>
A gusseted bag has an expandable pleat folded into each side, so the bag opens out to hold depth rather than sitting flat\. That extra capacity is what makes gusseted bags the right choice for bulky, boxed or irregular product that would strain a flat bag at the seams\. Plastpack manufactures gusseted polypropylene bags at our Werrington facility in high clarity blown film, in a stock size and to your own specification, with custom widths, gusset depths and gauges made to order\.
\<h3 class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title"\>What a Side Gusset Actually Changes\</h3\>
On a flat bag, every millimetre of product depth pulls the front and back panels apart and puts load straight onto the side seals\. A gusset removes that problem\. The pleat unfolds as the bag fills, so the film carries the shape of the product instead of fighting it\. In practice this means three things for a packing line: fewer split seals, a squarer pack that stacks and cartons more efficiently, and a bag that stands up on shelf rather than slumping\.

Polypropylene is the film of choice here because it holds that shape\. It is stiffer than polyethylene, has noticeably higher clarity, and takes a clean heat seal at a higher melt point\. For product that is being displayed as much as it is being protected, the difference in presentation is immediate\.

\</div\>
\<div class="product\_cat\_second\_sec\_main\_box"\>
\<h3 class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title"\>Where Gusseted Bags Are Used\</h3\>
\<h4\>Food manufacturing and processing\</h4\>
Bakery lines, confectionery, dry goods, ground coffee and packed produce all benefit from a bag that carries depth without deforming\. Specify food contact use when you enquire so the correct film is supplied\.
\<h4\>Retail and wholesale supply\</h4\>
Boxed goods, giftware, homewares and multipacks pack cleanly in a gusseted bag and present square on shelf\. High clarity polypropylene keeps labelling and product detail readable through the film\.
\<h4\>Manufacturing and component supply\</h4\>
Assemblies, fittings, moulded parts and kitted components that will not lie flat are contained without stressing the seals\.
\<h4\>Nurseries and horticulture\</h4\>
Potted stock, growing media and packed bulbs need a bag that holds volume and tolerates handling through dispatch\.
\<h3 class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title"\>Specifying the Right Gusseted Bag\</h3\>
Four measurements define the bag, and getting them right at the quoting stage saves a lot of rework later\.

\<strong\>Width\.\</strong\> Measured flat, across the face of the bag\. This should match the widest face of your product\.

\<strong\>Gusset depth\.\</strong\> The total expansion across both sides\. As a working rule, the gusset should be close to the depth of the product so the bag squares up fully when filled rather than bulging\.

\<strong\>Length\.\</strong\> Allow enough film above the product for your closure method, whether that is heat sealing, a tie, a clip or a fold and label\.

\<strong\>Gauge\.\</strong\> Thickness is quoted in microns\. Lighter gauges suit light, smooth contents in short handling cycles\. Heavier gauges are called for where the product has weight, edges or a long freight leg ahead of it\. Our team can recommend a gauge from your product weight and edge profile, or you can work through our guide on \<a href="https://www\.plasticbags\.com\.au/what\-thickness\-do\-i\-need/"\>what thickness you need\</a\>\.
\<h3 class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title"\>Manufactured, Not Resold\</h3\>
Plastpack extrudes its own film, prints it and forms the finished bag under one roof\. We hold substantial film stock, which is why lead times on standard specifications stay short and repeat orders dispatch quickly across Australia\. If a stock size does not fit your product, we make to measure on size, gusset depth, gauge and seal, with up to six colour printing available on the same run\. Minimum order quantity on a custom size is 10,000 units, and samples can be supplied for evaluation before you commit to a production run\.
\<h3 class="product\_cat\_des\_black\_big\_title"\>Frequently Asked Questions\</h3\>
\<h4\>What is a gusseted bag used for?\</h4\>
Gusseted bags are used where product has depth or an irregular shape that a flat bag cannot hold without stressing the seals\. Common commercial uses include bakery and dry goods packing, boxed retail product, kitted components and nursery stock\.
\<h4\>How do I measure a gusset?\</h4\>
Gusset depth is the total side expansion across both pleats\. Match it as closely as possible to the depth of your product so the filled bag squares up rather than bulging at the base\.
\<h4\>Are polypropylene gusset bags suitable for food?\</h4\>
We manufacture food grade film for food contact applications, made to the relevant Australian food safety requirements\. Tell us the bag is for food when you enquire so the correct specification is supplied\. See our \<a href="https://www\.plasticbags\.com\.au/food\-industry/"\>food grade bags\</a\> for more\.
\<h4\>What is the difference between a polypropylene and a polyethylene gusseted bag?\</h4\>
Polypropylene is stiffer with higher clarity, which suits display and shelf presentation\. Polyethylene is softer and more forgiving under impact, which suits heavier industrial containment\. Our PE vs PP buyer's guide sets out the comparison in detail\.
\<h4\>Can I order gusseted bags in a custom size?\</h4\>
Yes\. As the manufacturer we produce to your width, gusset depth, length, gauge and seal type\. The minimum quantity for a custom size is 10,000 units, with printing available on the same run\.
\<h4\>Can gusseted bags be printed?\</h4\>
Yes\. We print in house on our own film in up to six colours, so branding, product detail and compliance marking can all be carried on the bag\.
