Why 6 Mil Thickness?
At 6 mil, these bags are four times thicker than standard 1.5 mil poly bags and twice as thick as heavy-duty 3 mil options. This extreme thickness delivers exceptional performance in demanding environments:
- Puncture Resistance: Withstands sharp edges, pointed tools, and metal burrs
- Tear Strength: Resists tearing even when handling heavy components
- Long-Term Storage: Maintains integrity during extended warehouse storage
- Heavy Load Capacity: Supports heavier contents without stretching or failure
Industrial Applications
The 12x16 format at 6 mil thickness serves critical packaging needs across manufacturing and distribution operations. Automotive facilities use these bags for metal stampings, castings, and machined parts with sharp edges. Machine shops rely on them for cutting tools, drill bits, and precision instruments. Hardware distributors package heavy fastener assortments and metal fittings. Electronics manufacturers protect circuit boards and assemblies during shipping. The substantial thickness also makes these bags suitable for hazardous material containment and cleanup operations.
Commercial Use Cases
- Automotive Parts: Metal stampings, brake components, transmission parts
- Tool Storage: Hand tools, drill bits, saw blades, chisels
- Machine Components: Gears, bearings, valves, fittings
- Hardware Kits: Heavy fastener assortments, anchor bolts, lag screws
- Industrial Equipment: Replacement parts, maintenance supplies
Key Features
- Superior Impact Strength: Prism Pak bags deliver over three times the impact resistance of standard LDPE
- Enhanced Tensile Strength: Twice the tensile strength of conventional low-density polyethylene
- Heat Sealable: Create secure, tamper-evident closures with standard heat sealing equipment
