We stock 8 sizes, in widths from 12" to 18" and lengths from 16" to 24". Every size and its case price is listed above. Need a size we don't stock? Send us a Custom Quote Request.
Which thickness should I choose?
These come in 1 mil, 2 mil, 4 mil. The thicker the film, the more weight and puncture resistance it handles: lighter gauges suit soft or light items, heavier gauges suit hardware, sharp edges and bulk loads. Read our guide, What is a Mil?
How are they sold, and is there a minimum order?
By the case, with 250 to 1,000 per case depending on size. There's no minimum order, and the more you order, the lower the price per case; each product page shows its volume price breaks.
When will my order ship?
Orders placed before 1 PM Pacific on business days ship the same day from our California warehouse, and delivery usually takes 2–5 business days. Orders of $1,500 or more ship free to commercial addresses. We don't ship to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico.

About Seafood Boil Bags
When it comes to packaging seafood boils, crab, shrimp, and other shellfish, the right bag makes all the difference. Seafood Boil Bags are designed to keep your food fresh, secure, and mess-free, whether you’re packaging for retail, takeout, or events. At Elements Supply, we carry a wide selection of flat poly bags ideal for all your seafood packaging needs.
Why Choose Seafood Boil Bags?
Seafood can be heavy, sharp, and messy. Using the proper bag ensures your products remain intact during storage and transport.
- Durability – Made from high-quality polyethylene, our bags resist punctures from sharp shrimp heads and crab legs.
- Food-Safe – FDA-compliant materials ensure your seafood stays fresh and safe for consumption.
- Variety of Sizes and Thicknesses – Available in multiple dimensions and mil thicknesses to fit different portions and serving sizes.
Recommended Thickness for Seafood
- 4 Mil Bags – Our top recommendation for seafood. Twice as thick as 2 mil, these bags are puncture-resistant and ideal for sharp shellfish. Perfect for both retail and bulk packaging.
- 2 Mil Bags – Suitable for lighter seafood or smaller portions, but we recommend double-bagging to prevent leaks or punctures.
Versatile Uses
Seafood boil bags aren’t just for crab and shrimp—they’re versatile enough for a variety of applications:
- Takeout packaging for seafood restaurants
- Catering and event seafood boils
- Retail seafood portioning
- Storing leftovers safely at home or in restaurants
Tips for Using Seafood Boil Bags
- Choose the Right Thickness – For heavy shellfish like crab or lobster, opt for 4 mil bags.
- Double-Bag When Necessary – If using 2 mil bags, double bagging is recommended for added protection.
- Seal Properly – Use a heat sealer, twist tie, or zip tie to keep seafood contained and prevent leaks.
- Keep Bags Clean and Food-Safe – Always store unused bags in a dry, clean environment.
