Material Notes
Manufactured from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) meeting FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 and USDA specifications for food contact. LDPE film at 3 mil provides a balance of flexibility, tear resistance, and puncture protection suitable for industrial handling and moderate-weight contents. All gauges are nominal. Film maintains clarity and flexibility across a wide temperature range, from freezer storage to ambient warehouse conditions.
Use Case Notes
The 40" x 42" dimension targets large-format industrial and commercial applications. At 3 mil, this bag is classified as heavy-duty—suitable for moderate-weight contents, items with slightly irregular surfaces, and applications requiring reliable protection during handling and short-term storage. Commonly used as pallet liners to consolidate multiple smaller items, or for direct packaging of oversized components that exceed standard bag dimensions.
Common Questions
Q: What size items fit in a 40x42 bag?
A: This bag comfortably accommodates items up to 38" x 40" with allowance for closure. Ideal for large machinery parts, bulk bundling, or as pallet liners for consolidating multiple products.
Q: Are these bags FDA compliant for food packaging?
A: Yes. These bags are manufactured from 100% virgin LDPE resin that meets FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 and USDA specifications for direct food contact.
Q: What does 3 mil thickness mean for durability?
A: 3 mil equals 0.003 inches (approximately 76 microns). This is a heavy-duty gauge providing excellent puncture resistance and tear strength for industrial parts, moderate-weight contents, and applications requiring reliable handling protection.
