What are Suffocation Warning Bags? Why does your company need to use Suffocation Warning Bags?

Usually offered in a Layflat (Opentop) or a Self Seal version, are clear poly bags, printed with a Suffocation Warning on at least one side of the bag. Several Cities and States within the United States mandate that certain size poly (plastic) bags have a Suffocation Warning printed on each. Some retailers, and fulfillment warehouses have also adopted this requirement. An example of a Suffocation Warning message would be:

"Warning: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep away from babies and children. Do not use in cribs, beds, carriages, or playpens. This bag is not a toy."

Often times this will be printed in multiple languages. The most popular Suffocation Warning Bag found in the United States is the 3 language version consisting of English, Spanish and French for those retailers focused on customers within North America. The newest and most complete version currently is the Fastpack Packaging 12 Language Self Seal Suffocation Warning Bag consisting of English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, and Korean.

Amazon FBA, and many other retailers require items with loose pieces or multiple parts, clothing, liquids, and many other items to be packaged in Clear Suffocation Warning Bags. Currently the easiest Suffocation Warning Bags to find are the standard 3 Language Suffocation Warning bags, printed in English, Spanish and French. We assume this is because the three main languages spoken in North America is English, Spanish and French. The majority of the United States reads and speaks English and Spanish, Mexico, Spanish, and Canada reads and speaks English and French.
