12x20 Flat Poly Bags - 6 Mil Extra Heavy Duty Industrial Strength
These 12x20 inch flat poly bags in 6 mil thickness represent the heaviest gauge in standard poly bag offerings. Engineered for extreme-duty applications, the 6 mil construction provides exceptional puncture resistance, tear strength, and durability that lighter gauges simply cannot match. Ideal for industrial operations handling sharp-edged parts, heavy components, or items requiring maximum protection during storage and transit.

Industrial Applications
The 6 mil thickness makes these bags the preferred choice for demanding industrial environments. Manufacturing facilities use them for packaging machined parts with sharp edges or burrs that would puncture lighter bags. Automotive operations rely on 6 mil bags for brake components, metal stampings, and cast parts. Tool and die shops protect finished pieces during inter-facility transport. Hardware distributors package heavy fasteners, cutting tools, and abrasive materials. The generous 12x20 size accommodates larger components, equipment covers, and multi-piece assembly kits.
Key Features
- Maximum Puncture Resistance: 6 mil gauge handles sharp edges, pointed objects, and rough surfaces without compromise
- Superior Tear Strength: Over three times the impact resistance of standard 2 mil bags for heavy-load reliability
- Moisture Barrier: Protects metal parts from humidity, condensation, and environmental moisture during storage
- Heat Sealable: Create tamper-evident, airtight closures for shipping security and long-term preservation
- Crystal Clear Material: Easy visual inspection and inventory identification without opening
Thickness Comparison
Understanding mil thickness helps select the right bag for each application. Standard 2 mil bags suit general-purpose light-duty needs. Medium 4 mil bags handle industrial parts and moderate sharp objects. These 6 mil bags occupy the extra-heavy-duty tier, designed for the most demanding applications where failure is not an option. For context, 6 mil is approximately the thickness of a standard plastic report cover.
