What Are Custom Tear-Notch Bags and How Do They Work?
Custom Tear-Notch Bags are flexible packaging features small pre-cut side indents. These small indents let the consumer open heat-sealed bags without an item, and the product remains fresh. Sharp Custom Boxes (sharpcustomboxes.com) makes each tear-notch bag a combination of convenience and security to give brands a packaging style that is both premium and practical for everyday use.

Ideal Material Options (Mylar, Eco-Friendly Kraft, & Cardstock)
