Is 6 mil the right thickness?
6 Mil is extra heavyweight, made for the heaviest, most puncture-prone loads. Mil measures film thickness: 1 mil is one-thousandth of an inch (0.001"). Compare all thicknesses in the table above, or read our guide, What is a Mil?
How are they sold, and is there a minimum order?

6 Mil Flat Poly Bags: Our Toughest Flat Bag
6 mil (.006") is the heaviest flat poly bag we stock, 50% thicker than 4 mil. Use these super heavy-duty plastic bags when failure is not an option: sharp metal parts, heavy components, construction materials, or products that sit in storage for a long time and get moved around a lot. The extra film thickness resists punctures and tears that would get through lighter bags.
Common 6 mil jobs
- Heavy industrial parts and sharp hardware
- Large, bulky items that need maximum protection
- Bulk food products that need extra-strong, food-safe packaging
- Long-term storage and shipping in construction, manufacturing and warehousing
Made for demanding environments
These wholesale poly bags are made from 100% virgin LDPE and manufactured from seamless tubing, eliminating side seals that could rip under pressure. They meet FDA and USDA requirements for food contact, are designed to meet strict ASTM quality standards, and are 100% recyclable. Close them with a heat sealer, twist ties or tape; sizes up to 36" wide come dispenser-packed in 100s.
Do you really need 6 mil?
6 mil uses more film per bag, so it pays to match the gauge to the job. If your items are heavy but do not have sharp edges, 4 Mil Flat Poly Bags are usually enough. For medium-weight products, 3 Mil or 2 Mil will save money.
Need custom lengths?
6 Mil Poly Tubing gives you the same toughness on a roll, cut and sealed to fit long tools, knives or parts. For sizes beyond our stock range, request a custom quote or call (323) 266-2177.
