Frequently Asked Questions
What does 2 mil mean on a poly bag?A 2 mil bag is 0.002 inches thick, because 1 mil equals 0.001 inches. A 2 mil TUF-R® LLDPE bag is thinner than a 3 mil LDPE bag but the linear low density resin blend gives it equal or better strength in most applications. Can I replace 3 mil LDPE bags with 2 mil TUF-R® bags?Yes — 2 mil TUF-R® bags are engineered to replace 3 mil LDPE bags and typically cut material cost 20-30% with comparable tear and puncture performance. Test samples with your product before converting a bulk order. Are 2 mil TUF-R® bags food safe?TUF-R® bags are made from virgin polyethylene resin, and most stock sizes are suitable for direct food contact. Verify the specific item meets FDA requirements for your application, or contact our packaging team for a food-safe recommendation. How much weight can a 2 mil TUF-R® flat bag hold?2 mil TUF-R® flat bags handle roughly 20-25 lbs in typical use, which covers industrial parts, hardware, heavier bakery items and multi-item packs. For extremely heavy or sharp-edged products, step up to 3-4 mil TUF-R® or 6 mil LDPE bags. How are 2 mil TUF-R® bags packaged?Bags 15" wide and under ship in inner packs of 100 bags each, with multiple inner packs per case. Wider bags are packed flat in the case. Every case and inner pack is bar coded and labeled for easy identification. What is the difference between LLDPE and LDPE flat bags?LLDPE (linear low density polyethylene) delivers higher tensile and puncture strength per mil, so a lighter LLDPE bag replaces a heavier LDPE bag. LDPE is softer and more flexible. TUF-R® bags are LLDPE and are bottom sealed rather than side sealed, which adds seal strength for demanding loads.
