　　 Plastic bag Shelf life—those unfamiliar with plastic bags might wonder: Do plastic bags even have a shelf life? Surely not! Could it really be that plastic bags can go bad? This time, let us offer a brief科普 to clear up any confusion.

　　Do plastic bags have an expiration date? The answer is: under normal circumstances, custom‑made packaging bags can be stored for up to three years if kept in proper conditions. However, it’s important to ensure that the storage environment remains suitable.

　　First, do not store it outdoors; direct exposure to sunlight and rain will accelerate the volatilization of plasticizers, leading to the aging of the plastic bag.

　　II. Do not store in high-temperature environments;

　　3. The storage location must be free of snakes, insects, rodents, and ants.

　　4. The storage location must not be excessively humid.

　　So when ordering custom plastic bags, if you don’t meet the minimum order quantity, you can always produce a bit extra; and even if you do, it’s still worth making more—after all, you’ll need them sooner or later. Plus, larger quantities usually come with more flexible pricing.
