TUFFRITE™ T-shirt and jumbo bags
TUFFRITE™ is Synk's house brand. TUFFRITE™ T-shirt bags are HDPE with built-in handles, packed in cartons marked "Commercial Grade". The 1/6 size is printed "Thank You / Gracias"; the 1/8 and 1/10 sizes are printed "Thank You". Two black HDPE jumbo bags round out the line.
| Size class | Bag dimensions | Color | Gauge (micron) | Bags per case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1/6 | 11.5 x 6.5 x 21 in | White or black | 14 to 24 (nominal) | 300 to 1,000 |
| 1/8 | 10 x 5 x 18 in | Black | 16 | 800 |
| 1/10 | 8 x 4 x 16 in | Black | 13 | 1,000 |
| Jumbo | 18 x 6 x 27 in | Black | 19 | 400 |
| Jumbo | 21.5 x 7.5 x 34.5 in | Black | 23 | 300 |
The 1/6 size comes in four versions: white 14 micron (1,000 per case), black 14 micron (1,000 per case), black 18 micron (600 per case) and black 24 micron, nominal (300 per case). In the 1/6 size, the heavier the gauge, the fewer bags per case. Full SKU, color and GTIN details are on the TUFFRITE™ page.
TUFFRITE™ bag cartons carry a plastic-bag suffocation warning. Call for current availability.
Bag thickness: microns vs mils
Plastic bag film thickness is quoted either in microns (micrometers) or in mils. One mil is one thousandth of an inch, and 1 mil = 25.4 micrometers (microns). To convert a micron gauge to mils, divide by 25.4; to convert mils to microns, multiply by 25.4. In either unit, a higher number means thicker film.
| Gauge (micron) | Approx. mils | Where Synk carries it |
|---|---|---|
| 13 | 0.51 | TUFFRITE™ 1/10 T-shirt bag; other-brand 1/10 T-shirt bag |
| 14 | 0.55 | TUFFRITE™ 1/6 T-shirt bags, white and black |
| 16 | 0.63 | TUFFRITE™ 1/8 T-shirt bag; other-brand 1/6 white T-shirt bag |
| 18 | 0.71 | TUFFRITE™ 1/6 black T-shirt bag |
| 19 | 0.75 | TUFFRITE™ 18 x 6 x 27 in jumbo bag |
| 23 | 0.91 | TUFFRITE™ 21.5 x 7.5 x 34.5 in jumbo bag |
| 24 (nominal) | 0.94 | TUFFRITE™ 1/6 black T-shirt bag |
| 28 | 1.10 | 33 x 39 in black 33 gal can liner |
Mil values are rounded to two decimal places.
