Seafood Boil Bags

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-approved 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

1. Choose the Right Thickness – For heavy shellfish like crab or lobster, opt for 4 mil bags.
2. Double-Bag When Necessary – If using 2 mil bags, double bagging is recommended for added protection.
3. Seal Properly – Use a heat sealer, twist tie, or zip tie to keep seafood contained and prevent leaks.
4. Keep Bags Clean and Food-Safe – Always store unused bags in a dry, clean environment.
