Screw & Fastener Sample Flat Poly Bags 2" x 8" — 3 mil LDPE
These 2" x 8" flat poly bags at 3 mil are the go-to format for small fastener kitting, narrow hardware packaging, and component-level sample packing operations. The slim profile fits machine screws, bolts, small drill bits, Allen wrench sets, nail assortments, and similar long thin items that would float loose in a larger bag. The 3 mil gauge adds durability for metal components with threads or sharp points that would puncture lighter gauges.
Specs: 2" x 8" | 3 mil | Virgin LDPE | 1,000/CTN | FDA/USDA Compliant
Applications
- Screw, bolt, and nut assortment kitting for hardware and home improvement distributors
- Small drill bit and tap-and-die set packaging
- Nail and staple sample packs for construction supply distributors
- Pen and stylus retail packaging and POP display bagging
- Craft and hobby supply kitting — beading wire, needles, and narrow tools
- Pharmaceutical and lab swab, applicator, and pipette bagging
Features
- 2" x 8" slim format — sized for narrow fasteners and long thin components
- 3 mil gauge — resists puncture from threaded screws, drill points, and metal tips
- Bottom seal construction — contents stay contained without additional fixturing
- Virgin LDPE resin — consistent gauge and clarity throughout, no recycled content
- Heat sealable, tie-closable, and compatible with staple or tape closures
- 1,000 bags per carton for kitting line and assembly production volumes
Material Notes
Manufactured from 100% virgin low-density polyethylene (LDPE) resin. All stated gauges are nominal. Complies with FDA 21 CFR and USDA requirements for food contact, though the primary application for this format is hardware and industrial kitting. The 3 mil gauge provides better puncture and tear resistance than standard 1–2 mil options for metal components with sharp edges or threaded profiles.
Use Case Notes
The 2" interior width accommodates most machine screw sizes (up to approximately M10 or 3/8") lying flat. The 8" length works for screws, bolts, and drill bits up to approximately 7–7.5" in length. For hardware kitting operations, these bags stage easily in a row on an assembly table, fill quickly by hand or with a vibratory fill system, and seal cleanly with an impulse sealer. Also used in pharmaceutical and medical supply operations for sterile applicator and swab packaging where a narrow clean bag is required.
Common Questions
Q: Will a 3" screw fit in a 2x8 bag?
A: Yes. A 2" x 8" bag accommodates fasteners up to approximately 7" in length. For most standard machine screw and bolt lengths (1–6"), this bag provides adequate length with room for a closure at the top.
Q: Is 3 mil necessary for screw packaging?
A: 3 mil is recommended when bagging metal fasteners with sharp points, threads, or rough edges. Lighter gauges (1–2 mil) can be punctured by metal components during handling and shipping.
Q: Are these FDA compliant for food-related applications?
A: Yes. These bags are manufactured from virgin LDPE resin complying with FDA 21 CFR and USDA requirements. They can be used for food-adjacent applications such as single-serve condiment utensil kitting or food-safe small component packaging.
Q: Can these be used in automated kitting or counting systems?
A: Yes. The bag dimensions are compatible with standard small bag sealers and automated kitting tables. The consistent gauge and bag dimensions support repeatable fill and seal operations.
Why Buy
When your kitting operation runs thousands of small fastener packs per day, the bags need to be consistent, puncture-resistant, and available in bulk. The 2x8 3 mil format is the right dimension for standard screw and drill bit kitting — not too large to waste film, not too fragile to hold metal components. Sourced in 1,000-count cartons from a wholesale packaging supplier with reliable stock and consistent specification.
