Zeropac medical carton liners provide colour-coded protection for healthcare facilities managing waste segregation, sterile storage and supply chain hygiene. Available in blue, red, purple and natural options, these gusseted liners fit standard medical cartons and bins while supporting visual identification protocols. Heavy-duty HDPE and LDPE construction resists punctures and moisture to contain contents safely during storage and transport.

Gusseted designs expand to fill carton interiors completely, creating a continuous barrier between contents and packaging. The colour options align with healthcare waste segregation systems, helping staff sort materials correctly at the point of generation. Australian stock held in Sydney for fast dispatch to hospitals, aged care facilities, pathology labs and pharmaceutical warehouses.

11 sizes available from 540 x 290mm to 1030 x 730mm, including gusseted options in blue, red, purple and natural. See the table below for details.

How Medical Carton Liners Support Healthcare Workflows+

Healthcare facilities generate multiple waste streams that require correct segregation for safe handling and compliant disposal. Colour-coded carton liners enable staff to identify the correct bin instantly, reducing errors and preventing cross-contamination. Blue liners signal general medical waste, red liners indicate clinical waste requiring specialist treatment, and purple liners identify cytotoxic materials that need high-temperature incineration. This visual system works even when staff are busy, tired or unfamiliar with written labels.

Beyond waste management, medical carton liners protect valuable stock throughout the supply chain. Sterile instrument packs, pharmaceutical supplies and medical devices all benefit from the moisture barrier and puncture resistance that quality liners provide. The gusseted design ensures complete coverage of carton interiors, eliminating gaps where dust, moisture or contaminants could reach contents. For facilities operating under strict hygiene protocols, this continuous barrier is essential for maintaining product integrity from warehouse to point of use.

Roll and flat pack formats serve different operational needs. Rolls suit high-turnover areas where staff need quick, single-handed access to liners throughout their shift. Flat packs work better for scheduled liner changes and storage areas with limited space. Both formats deliver the same protection and colour coding, allowing facilities to standardise on liner specifications while adapting the dispensing method to each department's workflow.

Healthcare Colour Coding Guide+
Colour Typical Use Common Applications
Blue General medical, sterile storage Ward storage, pharmacy, sterile services, general waste
Red Clinical waste Infectious waste, blood-contaminated items, anatomical waste
Purple Cytotoxic waste Chemotherapy waste, cytotoxic drug contaminated items
Natural/Clear General purpose, visual inspection Storage, transport, non-clinical areas, content verification

Note: Colour coding conventions may vary by jurisdiction and facility policy. Confirm your organisation's waste segregation requirements before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HDPE and LDPE carton liners?+

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is stiffer and more puncture-resistant, making it ideal for waste bins and heavy-duty applications. LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) is more flexible and conformable, better suited for wrapping irregular shapes and applications requiring stretch. Both materials provide moisture barrier properties and are food-grade safe.

Are the coloured liners suitable for clinical waste disposal?+

Yes. The red and purple liners are designed to support healthcare waste segregation systems. Red is typically used for clinical waste and purple for cytotoxic waste. The heavy-duty construction provides puncture resistance for safe handling. Confirm colour coding requirements with your waste contractor and facility policy before ordering.

What does the gusset measurement mean?+

The gusset (shown as +G in dimensions) is the folded section on each side that expands when the liner is opened. A 635 × 635mm + 380G liner opens to create a box shape approximately 635mm wide, 635mm long and 190mm deep (half the gusset on each side). This allows the liner to sit flat against all interior surfaces of a carton.

Can these liners be used for food contact?+

Yes. The HDPE and LDPE materials used are food-grade safe and suitable for direct contact with food products. This makes them appropriate for pharmaceutical storage, food manufacturing, and any application where product purity is important. The natural/clear variants are most commonly used for food contact applications.

What is the difference between roll and flat pack formats?+

Roll format liners are perforated and wound on a core for easy single-handed dispensing. They suit high-turnover areas like ward sluice rooms where staff change liners frequently. Flat pack liners are stacked and interleaved, better for storage areas with limited space or applications where liners are changed on a schedule rather than continuously throughout the day.

How many liners come in each pack?+

Pack quantities vary by size, ranging from 200 to 2,000 units per carton. Smaller liners typically come in higher quantities, while larger sizes have fewer units per pack. Check individual product listings for specific pack sizes. High pack quantities reduce reordering frequency and improve stock management efficiency.

Can these liners be heat sealed?+

Yes. Both HDPE and LDPE carton liners are compatible with standard heat sealing equipment. This allows facilities to create tamper-evident closures for pharmaceutical storage, specimen transport, or any application requiring sealed containment. Heat sealing also improves moisture barrier performance for long-term storage.
