Flat Poly Bags 10″ x 12″ 6 mil 1000/Box

Extra-heavy 6 mil LDPE flat poly bags in a 10×12 in. format provide maximum puncture resistance for brake pad kits, caliper hardware, shims, clips, and other automotive components with sharp metal edges that would damage lighter-gauge bags. The 6 mil wall handles the abrasive backing material and steel shims common in aftermarket brake pad packaging without tearing during stacking and transit.

Specs: 10×12 in. | 6 mil | LDPE | 1,000/box | FDA compliant

Applications

• Brake pad set and caliper hardware kit packaging for aftermarket and OEM automotive parts distributors
• CNC machined metal part and stamped component individual bagging for precision parts manufacturers
• Heavy-duty gear, sprocket, and chain drive component protection for industrial equipment distributors
• Cast metal valve body and manifold individual wrapping for hydraulic and pneumatic parts distributors
• Sharp-edged cutting tool and industrial blade individual protection bags for tooling distributors

Features

• 100% virgin LDPE resin — no regrind, consistent 6 mil extra-heavy nominal gauge throughout
• 6 mil wall provides maximum puncture resistance from sharp shims, clips, metal edges, and abrasive surfaces
• Bottom-seal or side-weld construction delivers full seam strength under heavy component loads
• Open-end format — heat seal, staple, or tape closed depending on parts kitting workflow
• 1,000 bags per box for high-volume automotive and industrial parts packaging operations

Material Notes

LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) at 6 mil is rated as extra-heavy gauge, providing the highest standard puncture resistance for flat poly bags. At this thickness, the film resists abrasion from brake friction material backing, sharp metal shim edges, and the textured surfaces of machined metal components that cause failure in 2–4 mil bags. FDA compliant virgin resin meets FDA and USDA specifications; though primarily used for industrial applications, this supports packaging of components used in food processing equipment and food service machinery.

Use Case Notes

The 10×12 in. format accommodates most standard brake pad sets (disc pads plus hardware kit) for compact and mid-size vehicles when loaded individually. For large truck or performance brake kits with multiple pads and heavy shim sets, confirm total stack dimensions fit within the bag opening before high-volume use. The 6 mil gauge allows safe palletized stacking without interlayer protection in most industrial parts warehouses.

Common Questions

Q: At what thickness does LDPE become “extra heavy”?
A: 6 mil (0.006 in.) is the extra-heavy classification for LDPE flat poly bags. Compared to 4 mil (heavy) and 2 mil (standard), 6 mil provides a 50% thicker wall for maximum durability with sharp-edged industrial and automotive components.

Q: Are these FDA compliant?
A: Yes. Produced from 100% virgin LDPE resin meeting FDA and USDA specifications for indirect food contact use.

Q: What is the box quantity?
A: 1,000 bags per box.

Q: Can 6 mil bags be heat sealed with standard equipment?
A: Yes, but 6 mil LDPE requires higher temperature settings and longer dwell times than lighter gauges. Confirm your sealer’s maximum capability before running full production on 6 mil stock.

Why Buy

Extra-heavy flat poly bags are the right choice when the cost of bag failures — loose parts, punctured outer packaging, and customer complaints — exceeds the modest premium over standard-gauge alternatives. At 6 mil virgin LDPE, these bags handle the harshest automotive and industrial component surfaces without gauge inconsistency that causes random failures in lower-quality regrind film.
