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.
  • We flag Mold or microbial growth on stored paper on the Duro Bag Manufacturing and not on the Bagcraft Papercon.
  • 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.
