Industrial Applications
The 16x18 size combined with 2.75 mil thickness makes these bags ideal for packaging automotive parts, pump components, valve assemblies, and hydraulic hardware. Machine shops use them for finished parts protection during storage and shipping. Warehouse operations rely on these heavy-duty bags for kit assembly, inventory organization, and protective packaging of metal components. The extra thickness provides superior puncture resistance when packaging items with sharp edges, threads, or abrasive surfaces.
Why Tuf-R LLDPE Outperforms Standard Bags
- Superior Puncture Resistance: LLDPE molecular structure provides greater elongation and tear resistance than standard LDPE
- Downgauge Potential: Often possible to use lighter gauge Tuf-R to replace heavier LDPE, reducing cost and environmental impact
- Virgin Material: Made from 100% virgin resin for consistent quality and FDA compliance
- Versatile Performance: Handles heavy, sharp, and abrasive items without failure
Commercial Use Cases
- Automotive: Engine parts, brake components, suspension hardware
- Manufacturing: Machined parts, castings, fabricated components
- Equipment Service: Pump parts, motor components, gearbox assemblies
- Hardware Distribution: Bulk fasteners, fittings, heavy hardware kits
- Food Processing: Large bulk food items, frozen products (FDA compliant)
Packaging & Storage
Bags ship flat in case quantities of 500. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to maintain optimal material properties. LLDPE provides excellent cold-weather flexibility compared to standard polyethylene.
