Material Notes

Constructed from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) resin. At 4 mil, this gauge is classified as industrial-duty — appropriate for chrome-plated or hardened steel tools where bag abrasion and transit damage are concerns. LDPE film is flexible and resistant to moisture, making these bags suitable for tool storage in shop environments with ambient humidity.

Use Case Notes

The 5×18 in. profile is sized for tools in the 12 to 16 inch finished length range with nominal cross-section. This covers the majority of standard combination wrenches (SAE and metric), socket extension bars, and long-reach hand tools used in automotive and industrial maintenance kitting. At 5 in. width, the bag accommodates tools with a modest head width or grip diameter — suitable for standard wrench heads through approximately 1 in. jaw opening.

Common Questions

Q: What length tools will fit in a 5×18 bag?
A: These bags accommodate items up to approximately 17 in. in finished length with a cross-section of up to about 4 1/2 in. wide. Standard combination wrenches through 15/16 in. SAE (approximately 13 in. length) fit comfortably with room for a fold-and-seal closure at the top.

Q: Are these FDA/USDA compliant for food contact?
A: Yes. Made from 100% virgin LDPE resin meeting FDA/USDA specifications. While primarily used for tool and hardware applications, the virgin resin meets food contact compliance requirements for dual-use operations.

Q: Can these be heat sealed?
A: Yes. LDPE is heat sealable using standard impulse or direct heat sealers. The open end can also be closed by folding, tying, stapling, or taping.
