What are VCI zipper bags?
VCI grip bags are resealable plastic bags with anti-corrosion properties. They are intended to protect smaller metal parts against rust and oxidation during storage, shipping, or temporary safekeeping.
Thanks to the grip or zip closure, the bags are easy to open and reclose. This makes them practical for warehouses, assembly, technical service, and parts management.
What do you use VCI grip seal bags for?
VCI grip seal bags are used for small to medium-sized metal parts, such as bolts, bearings, tools, components, spare parts, machine parts, and technical kits.
The bags keep parts organized and help reduce the risk of corrosion. They are especially useful when loose parts need to be packed, stored, or shipped without immediately using a large roll of film.
Which size VCI grip seal bag do you need?
The right size depends on the dimensions of the part and the number of parts per bag. The bag should be large enough to place and seal the product easily, without leaving an unnecessary amount of excess space.
For sharp or heavy parts, it is advisable to check whether the bag is suitable for the load. Sometimes extra protection, such as VCI paper or foam wrap, is a good addition.
VCI grip seal bags for storage and shipping
In warehouses and technical environments, metal parts are often stored for long periods or moved regularly. VCI grip seal bags help keep parts clean, identifiable, and better protected.
For shipping, the bags can be used as inner packaging. Depending on the fragility of the part, sturdy outer packaging or extra cushioning may be required.
Combining VCI grip bags with other VCI materials
VCI grip bags can be combined with VCI paper, VCI film, aluminum laminate foil, or VCI oil spray. This can be relevant when parts are extra sensitive, stored for longer periods, or exposed to moisture.
For larger products, VCI film is usually more practical. For strong barrier protection during export, aluminum laminate foil may be more appropriate.
