Where these two actually differ
- We flag Wax coating degradation and migration and Mold or microbial growth on stored bags on the Bagcraft Papercon and not on the Duro Bag Manufacturing.

- The Bagcraft Papercon is paper with wax coating where the Duro Bag Manufacturing is Unbleached kraft paper, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Duro Bag Manufacturing is the one to buy.
