Flat Poly Bags 6″ x 8″ 3 mil 1000/CTN

Virgin LDPE flat poly bags in a 6×8 in., 3 mil format provide heavy-duty containment for automotive trim clips, interior hardware, and small assembly components with sharp edges that would puncture lighter-gauge bags. The 3 mil wall handles pointed fastener tips and metal edges during shipping and bin storage without tearing.

Specs: 6×8 in. | 3 mil | LDPE | 1,000/carton | FDA compliant

Applications

• Automotive trim clip and body panel fastener kitting for dealerships and collision repair suppliers
• Interior hardware and door handle component packaging for aftermarket parts distributors
• Metal hinge, bracket, and small stamped part kitting for OEM service parts operations
• Electrical connector and terminal kit packaging for wire harness and chassis assembly
• MRO fastener and repair kit bagging for industrial maintenance supply distributors

Features

• 100% virgin LDPE resin — no regrind, consistent 3 mil nominal gauge throughout
• 3 mil heavy-duty wall resists puncture from sharp clip fingers, barbed tips, and metal edges
• Bottom-seal construction provides full seam strength at the bag base under load
• Open-end format — heat seal, staple, or tape closed for retail or bulk kitting
• 1,000 bags per carton for high-volume parts kitting and service parts operations

Material Notes

LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) at 3 mil is classified as a heavy-duty gauge for small to mid-size bags. The increased wall thickness over standard 2 mil provides meaningfully better puncture resistance from sharp-edged metal fasteners, plastic clips with barbs, and sheet metal stampings. FDA compliant virgin resin supports packaging for components used in food service or food processing equipment maintenance applications.

Use Case Notes

The 6×8 in. format accommodates most automotive trim clip assortments and individual small hardware kits up to approximately 1 in. in depth when loosely filled. For parts with sharp protrusions such as retaining clips or cotter pins, avoid overfilling to prevent stress concentration on the bag walls during stacking and transport.

Common Questions

Q: Will the bags puncture from sharp clip prongs?
A: The 3 mil gauge provides substantially better puncture resistance than 1.5 or 2 mil bags. For clips with hardened steel tips or needle-sharp prongs, consider a 4 mil bag or adding a layer of corrugated insert inside.

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 case quantity?
A: 1,000 bags per carton.

Q: Can these be heat sealed for retail packaging?
A: Yes. Standard impulse sealers work with 3 mil LDPE. The closed bag with a printed header card can be used for retail blister-style presentation.

Why Buy

Small hardware kitting bags are a high-frequency consumable in service parts and assembly operations. The 3 mil gauge at this size eliminates the puncture failures that make lighter bags unsuitable for sharp fasteners and metal clips, reducing rework, loose parts, and customer complaints in service kits and dealer parts orders.
