What is the moisture - proof performance of side sealing bags?

May 26, 2025

Hey there! As a side sealing bag supplier, I often get asked about the moisture-proof performance of our side sealing bags. So, I thought I'd write this blog to break it down for you.

What Are Side Sealing Bags?

First things first, let's quickly talk about what side sealing bags are. These are bags that are sealed on the sides, creating a container-like structure. They come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and materials. You can find them in supermarkets, used for packaging snacks, or in industrial settings for storing various items.

The Importance of Moisture-Proof Performance

Moisture can be a real pain in the neck when it comes to packaging. It can cause all sorts of problems for the products inside the bags. For food items, moisture can lead to mold growth, spoilage, and a change in texture and taste. In the case of electronics or sensitive equipment, moisture can cause corrosion and damage to the components.

That's why the moisture-proof performance of side sealing bags is so crucial. A good moisture-proof bag can protect the contents from humidity, water vapor, and even liquid spills to some extent.

Factors Affecting Moisture-Proof Performance

Material Selection

The type of material used to make the side sealing bag plays a huge role in its moisture-proof capabilities. We use a variety of materials, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and laminated films.

PE is a common choice. It's a relatively inexpensive and lightweight material. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) has some moisture resistance, but it's not the best. High-density polyethylene (HDPE), on the other hand, offers better moisture protection. It has a more compact molecular structure, which makes it harder for water vapor to pass through.

PP is another option. It has good chemical resistance and can provide decent moisture protection. However, it's often used in combination with other materials to enhance its performance.

Laminated films are a game-changer when it comes to moisture-proofing. These are made by bonding two or more layers of different materials together. For example, a layer of aluminum foil can be laminated with a polymer film. Aluminum foil is extremely effective at blocking moisture, oxygen, and light. When combined with a polymer layer, it creates a strong barrier that keeps the contents dry and fresh.

Thickness of the Bag

The thickness of the side sealing bag also affects its moisture-proof performance. Generally speaking, the thicker the bag, the better the moisture protection. A thicker bag has more material to act as a barrier against water vapor. However, there's a balance to be struck. Making the bag too thick can increase costs and make it less flexible and more difficult to handle.

Sealing Quality

The quality of the seal is just as important as the material and thickness. A poor seal can allow moisture to seep into the bag, even if the bag itself is made of a moisture-resistant material. We use advanced sealing techniques to ensure that our side sealing bags have a tight and secure seal. This includes heat sealing, which melts the edges of the bag together to create a strong bond.

Testing the Moisture-Proof Performance

We don't just rely on theory to determine the moisture-proof performance of our side sealing bags. We conduct a series of tests to ensure that they meet our high standards.

One common test is the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) test. This measures how much water vapor can pass through a given area of the bag material in a specific period of time. A lower WVTR indicates better moisture protection.

We also do real-world simulations. We fill the bags with products and expose them to different humidity levels and temperatures for a set period. Then, we check the contents to see if there's any signs of moisture damage.

Our Product Range and Moisture-Proof Features

Eco Friendly Stand Up Packaging Bags

Our Eco Friendly Stand Up Packaging Bags are not only good for the environment but also offer excellent moisture-proof performance. They are made from sustainable materials that are laminated to create a strong moisture barrier. These bags are perfect for packaging snacks, coffee, and other food items that need to stay dry.

Waterproof Back Seal Bag

The Waterproof Back Seal Bag is designed specifically to keep the contents dry even in wet conditions. It has a special back seal design that provides an extra layer of protection against moisture. These bags are great for outdoor products, such as camping gear or sports equipment.

Plastic Self Seal Packaging Bags

Our Plastic Self Seal Packaging Bags are convenient and easy to use. They are made from high-quality plastic materials that offer good moisture resistance. The self-seal feature ensures that the bag stays closed, preventing moisture from getting in. These bags are ideal for small items like jewelry, coins, or electronic components.
