Amber Open End Bags 12x18 - UV Light Protection for Sensitive Products
These 12x18 amber poly bags provide effective UV light blocking for packaging medications, supplements, and other light-sensitive products. The amber tint filters harmful UV wavelengths that can degrade or damage sensitive contents, making these bags essential for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and laboratory applications.

UV Protection Benefits
Amber-colored polyethylene effectively blocks UV light waves that cause photodegradation in sensitive materials. Unlike clear bags that allow full light transmission, amber bags absorb and filter the wavelengths most damaging to vitamins, medications, supplements, botanical extracts, and light-reactive chemicals. This protection extends product shelf life and maintains potency throughout storage and distribution.
Commercial Applications
The 12x18 size accommodates a wide range of commercial packaging needs:
- Pharmaceutical: Bulk medication packaging, repackaging operations, and pharmacy compounding
- Nutraceutical: Vitamin and supplement packaging where light exposure degrades active ingredients
- Laboratory: Light-sensitive reagents, samples, and chemical storage
- Cannabis: Product packaging where UV protection preserves terpenes and cannabinoids
- Industrial: UV-sensitive adhesives, coatings, and photoreactive materials
Key Features
- Effective UV Blocking: Amber tint filters damaging light wavelengths to protect sensitive contents
- Flexible Closure Options: Seal with impulse heat sealer for permanent closure or use tape for temporary access
- 2 Mil Thickness: Standard duty construction suitable for most light-sensitive product packaging
- Convenient Packaging: 100-bag inner packs for easy inventory management and dispensing
Sealing Recommendations
For maximum UV protection, heat seal the open end using a standard impulse sealer. Set sealer to appropriate temperature for 2 mil polyethylene. For applications requiring repeated access, fold and tape closure is acceptable though provides less complete light blocking at the closure point.
