PO Bag is a foreign trade packaging term referring to plastic bags made from polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP). 'PO' is often understood as an abbreviation for Polyolefin, and is sometimes used interchangeably with PE bags. It is widely used for inner or outer packaging of garments, toys, hardware, daily necessities, etc., providing dustproof, moisture-proof, and protective functions. Usage scenarios include: wrapping products in PO bags at the factory before packing into cartons; or using them as retail packaging printed with brand logos. Notes: 1) Specify material (PE/PP), thickness (e.g., 0.03mm), dimensions, printing requirements, and whether eco-friendly/biodegradable; 2) For EU exports, comply with REACH, RoHS, etc.; food-contact types must meet FDA standards; 3) Differences from OPP bags, PP bags, PE bags: OPP bags are highly transparent and rigid, often used for stationery and cards; PE bags are soft and moisture-proof, often used for garments and hardware; PO bags are a broader term for polyolefin bags and must be specified in contracts. 4) When quoting, note bag gram weight, number of printing colors, and MOQ to avoid disputes caused by unclear specifications.
