5x5 Heavy Duty Poly Bags - 3 Mil Industrial Grade Packaging
These 5x5 flat poly bags at 3 mil thickness provide heavy-duty protection for small hardware, parts, and industrial components. The extra-thick LDPE construction resists punctures from sharp edges and fastener threads, making them the preferred choice for hardware distribution, manufacturing kitting, and maintenance operations.

Applications
The 5x5 format at 3 mil thickness serves demanding industrial and commercial applications:
- Hardware Distribution: Package screws, nuts, bolts, washers, and fastener assortments without bag punctures
- Manufacturing Kitting: Organize small components for assembly lines and work cells
- Maintenance Operations: Store spare parts, O-rings, fittings, and replacement components
- Electrical Components: Protect connectors, terminals, and small electronic parts
- Craft and Hobby: Heavy-duty storage for metal findings, jewelry components, and beading supplies
Why 3 Mil Thickness?
Standard 2 mil bags work for general storage, but sharp-edged parts like screws, sheet metal pieces, and stamped components require extra protection. At 3 mil, these bags offer 50% more material than standard duty, providing:
- Puncture Resistance: Sharp threads and edges won't penetrate during handling or shipping
- Tear Strength: Maintains integrity when pulled from bins or dispensers
- Professional Presentation: Thicker material holds shape better on retail pegs and in display bins
- Reusability: Durable enough for multiple open-close cycles in shop environments
Heat Sealing
These LDPE bags seal cleanly with standard impulse sealers at 2-3 second dwell times. For production environments, the consistent 3 mil thickness provides reliable seal formation across high-volume runs. Temperature range of 250-300°F works for most commercial sealing equipment.
