I use a lot of poly bags at work that I would like to measure... 1 - 2 mil thick. Will this work?

It will work. Very good quality mic for the money. FYI, there are mics out there made specifically for measuring soft materials. They have wider contact surfaces. Starrett comes to mind, there may be others.

I have even gotten the ziplock hand pump bags to work with this thing. As long as it's the right material, it will work.

It does not matter whether it is 3 or 4 mil thick as long as the bags vacu-seal with your brand of sealer, they all work well. Just do not use anything less than the 3 mil thickness as those can absorb odors from surrounding foods. The only time the thickness matters is if you plan on using them as boil-a-bags. Then the thickness is very important as the thinner bags will not hold up to the temperature of the boiling water.

When fully opened it measured 1". When closed it is 1/4". So, perhaps if the item you are grabbing is small enough, it would work. I hope this helps!

Good question.. I noticed in the last batched purchased, some bags were a lot thicker than others.. disappointing.

Thickness of the bag is not stated by the manufacturer. These are NOT the real thin bags that you may be concerned about purchasing. I would guess thickness is around 12-14 microns. If you are still concerned, contact Amazon to inquire with the manufacturer.

I have 2 1/2" and it fits perfectly. I think anything thicker would not work.

Supposedly this can scan thicker objects but I would be cautious. I scanned only one page at a time.

No. While the poly very resistant, it is not firm and breakable items would not do well in these bags.

Thickness, in mm, is not stated. However, these bags are NOT the kind that tear easily or you can stick your hand through. These are great bags that do the job well.

I would think that it would work in that application. Short of a metal drum I can't imagine any poly trash can being more sturdy than this one. It is very heavy gauge material.

I really haven't tried to see how thick of a material it will work in, at lot of that depends on what nut sets you use, they come in different sizes. The biggest thing to watch is that you get the stud screwed into the certs far enough not to pull the threads out of the nut certs. I am thing around an 1/8"thick maybe a little more if you are careful.

I think so...but the plastic is thick...you'll need to drill them not punch them...they make plastic bags in this size BTW

I bought Poly-Fil at Michaels craft store, small plastic beads. It took almost all of 2 32 oz. bags. Lucky it was not expensive.

I have it on my industrial sewing machine, it is 2 inches thick. I think it could go another 1/2 in. Hope this helps.

Yes, the holes in the mesh are very small. I think that it would work well for that as long as you need to sift large amounts. It is quite large at 10 inches in diameter.

Most likely. It is a touch wider than thick but close to the size of the thickness of a water bottle.
