1. What is the difference between the aLOKSAK and OPSAK bags? The film. The aLOKSAK is made of a very durable film that is a bit softer than the OPSAK film. If you do not have any concernes about odor or oxygen transmission then we recommed the aLOKSAK. The aLOKSAK can withstand heat to around 125 to 130 degrees. It can also withstand extreme cold. The aLOKSAK film will stay pliable and manageable to minus 40 degrees.
The OPSAK is a barrier film that can withstand heat to 170 degrees. It will only allow trace amounts of oxygen transmission.
The seals / closures on the aLOKSAK and OPSAK are identical.
2. Can I pour boiling water into the OPSAK? Yes. You can pour boiling water into the OPSAK to rehydrate or cook food. You can not place the bag into boiling water.
3. Can I remove the text? Yes. We recommend denatured alcohol. You can use other types of paint remover or finger nail polish remover, but we recommend denatured alcohol as it is the least abrasive. It will not harm the bags.
4. Can I order custom bags? Yes. A custom bag is a required bag size that is not in our current inventory. It is a bag that requires a custom color closure, custom text, custom closures that can take a die cut hole, custom color film or a custom shape that will also include the addition of a custom tool.
5. What are the quantities needed for a custom run? The quantities are very high due to the blown film minimums of our film supplier. The smaller the bag the higher the quantities. Larger bags require smaller quantities.
6. What is the lead time for a custom run? Six to eight weeks. It can take up to ten weeks, but we try very hard to stick to six to eight weeks.
7. Can my company order in bulk? That depends. OEM / and BULK pricing is available. We sell bulk bags to manufacturers who want to enhance a product. We sell bulk items to government agencies, law enforcement, search and rescue, medical companies, and all branches of the military. Bulk or loose bags are not to be sold as stand alone items. Retail markets require packaged product. |
