When choosing a plastic mattress bag, you need to consider factors such as size, thickness, material, sealing method and usage scenario. The following is a detailed selection guide:
1. Material selection
PE (polyethylene): light, soft, suitable for short-term use (such as moving), low price.
PP (polypropylene): high hardness, good tear resistance, suitable for long-term storage.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride): durable and waterproof, but may be heavy, suitable for scenarios requiring high-strength protection.
Composite materials: such as aluminum foil composite film, moisture-proof and dust-proof effects are better, suitable for humid environments.
Recommendation: give priority to thickened (such as 0.1mm or more) or anti-UV coated materials to avoid aging and cracking.
2. Size matching
Measure the mattress: length, width, height (especially thickness), and make sure the bag completely covers the mattress.
Reserve space: Choose a bag that is 5-10cm larger than the actual size of the mattress to facilitate insertion and avoid being too tight.
Special shapes: such as dome mattresses or extra-thick mattresses, you need to choose a custom-made or elastic bag.
The plastic mattress bag must cover the entire mattress to ensure that the packaging is complete. Common mattress specifications are:
Mattress type Recommended size (width x height x length)
Single bed (Twin) 100 x 25 x 200 cm
Double bed (Full) 135 x 25 x 200 cm
Queen bed (Queen) 155 x 30 x 210 cm
King bed (King) 190 x 35 x 210 cm
Note: If you need to roll up the mattress during transportation, you need to reserve extra space
3. Choose the right thickness
The thickness of the plastic mattress bag affects its tear resistance and protection ability:
Common thickness: 50~100 microns (μm)
50-70μm: suitable for short-distance transportation and dustproof covering
80-100μm: suitable for long-term storage or long-distance transportation, with stronger waterproof and tear resistance
4. Choose the sealing method
Choose different sealing designs according to usage needs:
Open bag mouth: commonly used for manual packaging or short-term use, can be sealed with tape
Self-sealing zipper bag mouth: suitable for multiple openings and closings, reuse
Heat-sealed bag: used for factory packaging or vacuum packaging, strong sealing
Drawstring closure: general sealing, suitable for short-term use.
Zipper type: convenient for repeated opening and closing, but the quality of the zipper needs to be checked (such as double-track explosion-proof zipper).
5. Pay attention to functional features
High-quality plastic mattress bags should have the following functions:
Dustproof, waterproof, mildew-proof
Stretch-resistant, puncture-resistant
Smooth surface, not easy to adhere to dust
Perforated for exhaust (easy to roll and pack)
Customizable printed brands or handling warnings
6. Configuration determined by usage scenario
Usage scenario Recommended configuration
Moving/transportation Thickness above 80μm + enhanced sealing + tear-proof material
Storage/sealing Highly transparent, moisture-proof, insect-proof material, zipper sealing is recommended
Retail/factory packaging Customizable printing + automatic sealing structure + pressure-resistant design
