That is roughly two to four times the thickness of the 1.5 to 3 mil bags most businesses use for general storage, which is why 6 mil bags resist tears and punctures far better. Are 6 mil lay flat poly bags food safe?Yes. These bags are made from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) resin that meets FDA and USDA specifications for direct food contact, so they can be used for dry ingredients, bulk foods, and other food storage applications. What sizes do 6 mil lay flat poly bags come in?We stock 6 mil lay flat bags from small 4x6 inch sizes up through 24x36 inches and larger. Sizes are listed as width x length, and lay flat bags have no gusset, so measure your item flat and add one to two inches of length for sealing room. What is the difference between 4 mil and 6 mil poly bags?6 mil bags are 50 percent thicker than 4 mil bags (0.006 inches versus 0.004 inches) and offer noticeably higher puncture and tear resistance. Choose 4 mil for general storage and shipping; choose 6 mil for sharp or heavy parts, rough handling, long-term storage, or bags you plan to reuse. Can 6 mil poly bags be reused and recycled?Yes to both. The 6 mil wall is durable enough for repeated use when handled carefully, and the bags are LDPE, which is #4 plastic and recyclable wherever #4 film is accepted. Who uses 6 mil lay flat poly bags?Manufacturers and machine shops bagging nuts, bolts, and metal components; warehouses storing parts long term; food processors packing bulk dry ingredients; and retailers and shippers protecting clothing, textiles, and merchandise that a lighter bag would not hold up to. How do you seal a 6 mil poly bag?An impulse heat sealer gives the cleanest airtight seal on 6 mil LDPE and is the recommended method. Twist ties, bag ties, and tape also work for non-food or temporary closure. Sealers and ties are sold separately. Bulk Ordering & Wholesale PricingLooking to order in volume?
