VCI Bags & Anti-Rust Film for Metal Parts
Jinhong Packaging supplies VCI bags and anti-rust film through selected production partners for metal parts requiring corrosion protection during storage and transport. Options include flat bags, gusseted bags, box liners and film rolls, with custom dimensions and thicknesses.
We help coordinate packaging specifications and samples based on your metal type, surface condition, packing method and intended storage or shipping conditions.
VCI Bags & Film Options
Choose from VCI bags and film rolls to suit your metal parts, outer packaging and packing process. We help coordinate the format, dimensions and film thickness for your application.
Flat VCI Bags
A simple bag format for individual metal parts or small groups of components. Bag dimensions and film thickness can be specified to suit the part size and handling requirements.
Gusseted VCI Bags
An expandable bag format for bulkier components or grouped parts. Gussets provide extra space around the contents, with dimensions selected to match the load and outer packaging.
VCI Box Liners
VCI liners sized to fit inside boxes or crates containing metal components. Liner dimensions should allow enough material above the contents for a suitable closure.
VCI Film Rolls
A flexible option for wrapping metal components or preparing packaging at the packing station. Film width and thickness can be selected to suit the wrapping method and load dimensions.
Additional VCI packaging formats, including zipper bags and bubble bags, can be reviewed on request. Available sizes, film structures and minimum order quantities depend on the selected format and application.
VCI Packaging Specifications & Custom Options
The ranges below are a general sourcing reference. Available widths and thicknesses vary by VCI formulation, packaging format and production partner. Not every width and thickness combination is available; specifications are confirmed for each project.
| Specification | Available Options |
|---|---|
| Packaging formats | Flat bags, gusseted bags, box liners, film sheets and rolls |
| Film thickness | 30–250 microns (0.03–0.25 mm), depending on format |
| Film width | 500–6,000 mm; width measurement and format to be confirmed when quoting |
| Bag dimensions | Custom sizing based on part dimensions, outer packaging and closure allowance |
| Colour options | Yellow, blue and clear; other colours subject to confirmation |
| MOQ & samples | Confirmed according to size, thickness, format and order requirements |
Please specify the metal or alloy being packed, any surface oil or treatment, and the expected storage and shipping conditions. These details help us coordinate a suitable VCI packaging option and samples for evaluation.
VCI Packaging Applications
VCI bags and film are used for metal components during storage, handling and transport. Packaging selection depends on the metal type, surface condition, component shape and expected exposure conditions.
Automotive Components
For metal parts such as gears, shafts, bearings and fasteners moving between component suppliers, assembly operations and storage facilities. Bag dimensions can be coordinated with individual parts or grouped loads.
Machinery & Machined Parts
For machined components, tooling and replacement parts packed for storage or shipment. Selection should account for sharp edges, part weight and any separate cushioning or puncture protection needed.
Hardware & Industrial Spare Parts
For metal fittings, brackets and other spare parts packed individually or together in boxes and crates. Flat bags, gusseted bags or box liners can be selected to match the packing arrangement.
VCI Options for Different Metals
Ferrous-metal and multi-metal VCI formulations are available. Selection depends on the metal or alloy, surface treatment and packing conditions. Tell us which metals are present so we can coordinate a suitable option and samples for evaluation.
VCI Packing & Handling Tips
Pack clean, dry metal parts and use clean gloves to avoid fingerprints and contamination. Protect sharp edges to prevent punctures, and close the packaging using the agreed method. Keep unused VCI packaging sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
What to Include in Your VCI Packaging Enquiry
To help us prepare a relevant quotation, please include:
Metal or alloy type, including any surface oil, coating or treatment.
Part dimensions and weight, or the internal dimensions of the box or crate.
Preferred packaging format: flat bags, gusseted bags, box liners or film rolls.
Required film thickness, if known.
Expected storage duration and conditions, including the shipping route where relevant.
Order quantity and delivery destination.
If you have not selected a bag size or thickness, send a photo or drawing of the parts and describe how they will be packed. Jinhong Packaging can help coordinate specification options and samples with selected production partners.
Frequently Asked Questions About VCI Bags
What are VCI bags?
VCI stands for Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor. VCI bags release corrosion-inhibiting vapours into the enclosed packaging space to help protect compatible metal surfaces during storage and transport. The appropriate formulation and packing method depend on the application.
How long can VCI packaging protect metal parts?
There is no single protection period that applies to every VCI bag or application. Performance depends on the VCI formulation, metal condition, packaging closure, temperature, humidity and handling. Share your intended storage duration and shipping conditions so we can coordinate a suitable option for evaluation.
Can the same VCI bag be used for all metals?
Not necessarily. Suitability depends on the VCI formulation and the metal or alloy being packed. Surface oils, coatings and cleaning residues can also affect compatibility. Please identify all metals in the component, especially for assemblies containing different metals.
Do VCI bags remove existing rust?
No. VCI packaging is intended to help prevent corrosion, not remove existing rust. Parts should be prepared appropriately before packing, with existing corrosion and surface contamination addressed as part of your process.
Can I request custom sizes and samples?
Yes. Jinhong Packaging can coordinate custom dimensions, film thicknesses and sample requests with selected production partners. Sample availability, charges, lead time and minimum order quantity are confirmed for the requested specification. Samples can be evaluated with your actual parts and packing process before an order is finalised.
