1/ Seams fabricated by the dielectric, impulse, or ultra-sonic process shall have a minimum
1/32-inch heat-seal. Seams fabricated from unsupported plastic sheet such as polyethylene or
polyolefin shall meet the heat-sealed seam test specified in 3.5 with no minimum seal width
required.
3.5 Bag integrity requirements. Bags shall meet the leakage test requirements of
FED-STD-101, Method 5009 (see 4.4.2). Heat-seals shall meet the requirements of the heat-
sealed seam test of MIL-STD-2073-1, Appendix G (see 4.4.1).
3.6 Identification. Each bag shall be marked or printed in capital letters or numbers, using
10-point type, and shall contain the following information: This specification number and revision
letter; type, class, and style; bag manufacturer's name and bag designation; month; and year of bag
fabrication. Each bag shall contain this printing on at least one surface with the color and position
of the printing being optional. When the marking is interrupted or incomplete due to the size of
the bags, the individual bag need not be marked as specified, but shall be accompanied within the
shipping container by an identification sheet marked or printed with the same information. When
specified (see 6.2), a pressure sensitive label shall be applied to the outer surface of each bag in
lieu of marking the bag.
3.6.1 Sealing recommendation. Each unit package of bags shall include a sheet legibly
marked with the following heat-sealing information.
a. Jaw type sealer (temperature, pressure, and dwell).
b. Band type sealer (temperature, pressure, and dwell).
c. Rotary type sealer (preheat, pressure, and speed).
3.7 Workmanship. Bags shall be free from any foreign matter, pinholes, tears, cuts, splits,
slits, creases, wrinkles, or other imperfections.
