UV-Protective Pharmaceutical Storage Bags 8" x 14" -- 3 mil Amber | 1,000/Case

Amber reclosable zipper bags in 3 mil gauge, 8 x 14 inches, packed 1,000 per case. The amber pigment blocks UV light transmission and meets USP XXII and USP XXIII Procedure 66.1, limiting light transmission to no more than 10% at any wavelength from 290 nm to 450 nm. Designed for storage and transport of light-sensitive materials including medications, chemical reagents, and photosensitive electronic components.

Specs: 8" x 14" | 3 mil | Amber | 1,000/Case | USP XXII/XXIII Compliant (Procedure 66.1, ≤10% Transmission, 290–450 nm)

Applications:

• Pharmaceutical and OTC medication storage requiring UV protection
• Laboratory sample and reagent storage for light-sensitive compounds
• Photosensitive electronic component and sensor packaging
• Clinical trial material and sample chain-of-custody bagging
• Chemical inventory storage where UV degradation is a concern

Features:

• Amber pigmentation blocks ≤10% light transmission at 290–450 nm per USP XXII/XXIII Procedure 66.1
• Reclosable zipper closure allows secure repeated access without rebagging
• 3 mil construction provides structural integrity for repeated open-close use in lab and storage environments
• 8 x 14-inch format accommodates standard pharmaceutical storage quantities and lab sample containers
• 1,000 per case for high-volume pharmaceutical, lab, or clinical supply operations

Material Notes:

Translucent amber-pigmented poly film. The amber color provides the UV-blocking function; the bag does not include any metallic barrier layer. For products requiring both UV protection and moisture or oxygen barriers, a foil laminate or multilayer film bag is more appropriate. The reclosable zipper is integrated into the bag top for repeated access.

Use Case Notes:

These bags are specified in pharmaceutical and laboratory environments where packaging regulations or product stability requirements mandate USP-compliant light protection. The reclosable format is preferred for ongoing storage and access workflows rather than single-use seal-and-ship applications. For one-time seal applications, a heat-sealed amber bag would be more appropriate. The 8 x 14-inch size fits most standard pharmaceutical containers and labeled sample bags for inventory storage.

Common Questions:

Q: What USP standards do these bags meet?
A: These bags meet USP XXII and USP XXIII Procedure 66.1, which limits light transmission to no more than 10% at any wavelength between 290 nm and 450 nm. This is the standard used for amber packaging of light-sensitive pharmaceuticals and reagents.

Q: Can these bags be used for electronic or sensor components?
A: Yes. Amber poly bags are used in electronics packaging to protect photosensitive sensors, optical components, and certain semiconductor materials from UV-induced degradation during storage and transport.

Q: Do these bags provide moisture or gas barrier protection?
A: No. The amber film provides UV protection only. For moisture or oxygen barrier requirements, a foil-laminate or multilayer barrier bag is required in addition to UV protection.

Why Buy:

1,000 per case supports pharmaceutical, laboratory, and clinical supply operations at scale. USP XXII/XXIII compliance documentation supports regulatory and QA requirements for light-sensitive product packaging. The reclosable format reduces repackaging labor in storage and dispensing workflows.
