Flat Poly Bags 14″ x 16″ 3 mil 1000/CTN

Auto Parts & Engine Gasket Poly Bags 14″ x 16″ — 3 mil LDPE | 1,000/CTN

14 x 16-inch flat poly bags in 3 mil LDPE, packed 1,000 per carton. The 3 mil gauge makes these bags appropriate for heavier, rigid, or edge-heavy industrial components that would compromise lighter gauges during kitting, bagging, or transit operations.

Specs: 14″ x 16″ | 3 mil | LDPE | 1,000/CTN | FDA/USDA Compliant

Applications:

• Auto parts kitting — gaskets, seals, and small engine components
• Industrial hardware kit bagging — bolts, brackets, and fastener sets
• Machine part packaging for MRO distribution
• Retail parts packaging for aftermarket automotive suppliers
• General industrial warehousing and fulfillment bagging

Features:

• 3 mil LDPE — heavy-duty gauge resistant to puncture from rigid or edged parts
• 14″ x 16″ open-top format accommodates mid-to-large flat or folded components
• Bottom seal construction for consistent bag integrity under load
• Heat sealable, tieable, stapleable, or tapeable closure
• Made from 100% virgin LDPE resin — FDA/USDA compliant

Material Notes:

Manufactured from 100% virgin LDPE resin meeting FDA/USDA specifications. LDPE at 3 mil provides a meaningful step up in puncture and tear resistance versus 1.5–2 mil bags, making it appropriate for metal parts and hardware with edges or protrusions that would compromise thinner film.

Use Case Notes:

The 14 x 16-inch footprint fits most standard automotive gasket sets, small engine component packs, and bundled hardware kits without excess material. At 3 mil, this bag handles the surface contact requirements of metal goods without tearing during insertion or seal operations. Suitable for kitting lines, MRO distribution, and aftermarket parts fulfillment.

Common Questions:

Q: Why choose 3 mil over 2 mil for parts packaging?
A: 2 mil is sufficient for smooth or lightweight items. For metal parts, gaskets, or fasteners with edges or protrusions, 3 mil provides the additional puncture resistance needed to prevent bag failure during loading, transit, or storage.

Q: Are these bags suitable for food-contact applications?
A: Yes. The virgin LDPE resin is FDA/USDA compliant, making these bags usable for food-adjacent applications where a heavier-gauge bag is needed.

Q: Can these be heat sealed on a standard impulse sealer?
A: Yes. 3 mil LDPE seals reliably on standard impulse or band sealers with appropriate dwell time settings for the gauge.

Why Buy:

The 3 mil construction bridges the gap between standard packaging bags and heavy-industrial options, providing reliable performance for metal parts, hardware kits, and rigid components at a practical price point. 1,000 per carton supports high-volume kitting and fulfillment operations without frequent restocking.
