Heat-Sealable Bags, Sleeves, and Tubing Built to MIL-DTL-117 for Interior Packaging
Military Packaging supplies heat-sealable bags built to MIL-DTL-117, the military specification for interior packaging bags, sleeves, and tubing. Made from qualified barrier materials and sealed with a clean heat seal, MIL-DTL-117 bags protect parts and electronics against moisture, static, grease, and contamination inside a mil-spec package. Order them on their own or built into a complete preservation system we design around your equipment.
MIL-DTL-117 is the military specification for bags, sleeves, and tubing used in interior packaging. It defines how a compliant heat-sealable bag is constructed, from the barrier material it is made of to the seams and closure that hold it together.
Where a material spec governs the film or foil, MIL-DTL-117 governs the finished bag. That makes it the standard your drawing calls out when it specifies the bag itself, in the type, class, and style your program requires.
We build MIL-DTL-117 bags from the qualified barrier materials each application needs, so you get the right protection in a compliant bag. When a callout names MIL-DTL-117, this is the bag it means.
Every MIL-DTL-117 bag we supply is built to protect and seal to spec:
The specification defines what makes a compliant interior packaging bag:
MIL-DTL-117 organizes bags by type, class, and style. The type ties the bag to its barrier material and the protection it provides, the class subdivides it further, and the style sets the form, whether a flat bag, a gusseted bag, a sleeve, or tubing. Reading those together tells you exactly what bag a callout requires.
We help you translate the type, class, and style on your drawing into the right bag, or recommend one when the choice is open. Send us the callout and the part, and we will confirm the MIL-DTL-117 bag for the job.
MIL-DTL-117 bags protect the sensitive parts across a defense shipment:
MIL-DTL-117 bags protect the parts these sectors ship, store, and preserve every day:
A few factors point you to the right MIL-DTL-117 bag. Weigh these, or send us the part and we will recommend one:
A MIL-DTL-117 bag is the interior layer that protects the part before it reaches the box. It seals around the component, guarding it from the threat its material is built for, and it gives the pack a clean, compliant closure. The outer packaging builds outward from there.
Sourced as one system, the bag is matched to the desiccant, wrap, and container around it, so the part travels protected from the bag out to the shipping carton.
A MIL-DTL-117 bag is only as protective as the material it is made from, so we build each bag in the barrier the job requires. High-barrier foil per MIL-PRF-131 seals out moisture, static-shielding film per MIL-PRF-81705 protects electronics, transparent film per MIL-PRF-22191 lets you see the contents, and greaseproof material per MIL-PRF-121 handles oily parts.
Because the same bag construction accepts different materials, we match the barrier to the threat and the form to the part. Tell us what you are protecting and we will build the MIL-DTL-117 bag in the right material.
It helps to know how the specs fit together. MIL-DTL-117 governs the finished bag, its type, class, style, and construction, while the material specs such as MIL-PRF-131 govern the film or foil the bag is made from. One defines the bag, the others define the barrier.
We supply both together, building a MIL-DTL-117 bag from the material spec your drawing cites. That way the bag meets the construction spec and the material meets the barrier spec, and your callout is satisfied on both counts.
MIL-DTL-117 covers more than flat bags. We supply flat and gusseted bags for enclosing parts, sleeves for slipping over components, and tubing for making a custom-length bag on the spot by sealing both ends. The form follows the part.
Matching the form to the geometry keeps packaging efficient at the bench and protective in transit. Tell us the shape and size of what you are protecting, and we will supply the right bag, sleeve, or tubing.
Reading a bag callout and building the right bag is what we do. Our team helps buyers and packaging engineers match the MIL-DTL-117 type, class, and style and the barrier material to the part, and meet the preservation spec.
Send us the part, the threat, and any spec callouts, and we will recommend the right MIL-DTL-117 bag and quote it, so your parts ship protected from the first shipment.
Every program defines its interior packaging a little differently, and we build to yours. When your documentation names a MIL-DTL-117 type, class, style, or barrier material, we match it exactly. When the choice is open, we recommend the bag that fits the part and the threat.
That flexibility means your packaging satisfies the spec and protects the part in practice, with no gap between the two.
A MIL-DTL-117 bag does its best work as part of a full system. We seal the part in the bag with a desiccant where moisture is a concern, wrap sensitive surfaces, cushion against shock, and enclose the pack in a box or crate rated for the journey. Sourced together, these layers protect the part from the bag out to the shipping container.
We supply bags that meet MIL-DTL-117 for the construction and the qualified material specs for the barrier, and we build them into packaging that satisfies your spec. Where your drawing cites a bag type or a material class, we match it.
Where the drawing leaves a choice, we recommend the bag and barrier that best protect your part. Either way, you get interior packaging you can ship on.
Tell us what you are protecting, the size and shape of the part, the threat it faces, and any spec callouts, and we will recommend the right MIL-DTL-117 bag.
We supply MIL-DTL-117 bags on their own or as part of a complete preservation system, with availability and turnaround confirmed in your quote.
We build MIL-DTL-117 bags in the barrier material each job needs, and we know how to match the type, class, and style to your callout in a compliant system.
That combination keeps parts protected against moisture, static, and contamination, and ready to use after shipping and long storage.
MIL-DTL-117 is the military specification for bags, sleeves, and tubing used in interior packaging. It defines how a compliant heat-sealable bag is constructed, in the type, class, and style your program requires, from qualified barrier materials.
MIL-DTL-117 governs the finished bag and its construction, while MIL-PRF-131 governs the foil barrier material the bag can be made from. We build a MIL-DTL-117 bag from the material spec your drawing cites, so both are satisfied.
It depends on the protection needed. We build them from high-barrier foil for moisture, static-shielding film for electronics, transparent film for visibility, and greaseproof material for oily parts. We match the barrier to the threat.
A bag fully encloses a part, a sleeve slips over it, and tubing lets us make a custom-length bag by sealing both ends. MIL-DTL-117 covers all three, and we match the form to your part’s geometry.
Yes. When built from a moisture barrier material, a MIL-DTL-117 bag is sealed with a desiccant inside to create moisture barrier packaging that supports Method 50 preservation. We size the desiccant to the bag.
Yes. MIL-B-117 was the older designation for the same bag specification, now MIL-DTL-117. If your drawing still calls out MIL-B-117, we supply the current MIL-DTL-117 bag to meet it.
