Camshaft & Connecting Rod Poly Bags — 10x18 in., 6 mil LDPE

These 10x18 in. 6 mil LDPE flat poly bags provide extra-heavy industrial protection for long, precision-machined components that require puncture resistance and moisture exclusion during storage, kitting, and distribution. At 6 mil, these are among the heaviest gauge flat poly bags available for standard parts protection programs.

Specs: 10x18 in. | 6 mil | 100% Virgin LDPE | Bottom Seal | FDA/USDA Compliant | 500/Box

Applications

Designed for automotive camshaft and crankshaft individual packaging, engine connecting rod and piston rod bagging, precision linear shaft and spindle protection, long-bodied pneumatic and hydraulic cylinder storage, threaded rod and alloy bar stock end-protection, and industrial machine component kitting for aftermarket distribution.

Features

• 6 mil LDPE — extra-heavy gauge for long, heavy, or abrasion-prone precision components
• 100% virgin LDPE resin, FDA/USDA compliant for broad industrial and food-adjacent applications
• Durable bottom seal or side weld construction rated for heavy component loads
• 10x18 in. format sized for long-bodied machine parts without excess overhang
• Open-end design compatible with heat sealing, stapling, taping, or zip-tie closure
• 500/Box for production kitting lines and automotive aftermarket distribution operations

Material Notes

Manufactured from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) resin at 6 mil nominal gauge. This extra-heavy thickness withstands the weight and surface texture of precision machined steel and cast iron parts, including those with sharp journal edges or threaded ends. The 6 mil wall provides substantially greater puncture and tear resistance than standard 2 or 3 mil industrial bags, making it appropriate for high-value precision components that cannot tolerate abrasion damage.

Use Case Notes

The 10x18 in. format accommodates most standard automotive camshafts (typically 12–16 in. long) and engine connecting rods with adequate clearance for individual bagging without forcing or folding. Also used in precision bearing and spindle packaging, where the long, narrow format of the bag eliminates material waste around the component profile. Common in automotive OEM and aftermarket distribution centers for pre-kitting and order fulfillment.

Common Questions

Is 6 mil LDPE appropriate for components with sharp machined edges?
Yes. At 6 mil, these bags provide substantially greater puncture resistance than lighter gauges. For components with extreme edge sharpness or weight, consider wrapping in foam or interleave paper prior to bagging for maximum protection.

Can these handle the weight of a full engine camshaft?
Yes. A properly bottom-sealed 6 mil LDPE bag provides adequate load containment for standard automotive camshafts at typical shipping and storage weights.

Are these FDA/USDA compliant?
Yes. The 100% virgin LDPE resin meets FDA and USDA specifications, providing compliance versatility across industrial and food-adjacent applications.

Why Buy

These 10x18 in. 6 mil LDPE bags deliver the extra-heavy gauge performance that precision machine component and automotive parts operations require. The 500-count box supports continuous kitting line throughput, and the 6 mil wall handles the weight, edge sharpness, and abrasion demands of long machined parts from camshafts to connecting rods to precision spindles.
