Die-cut components and cards

HDPE/LDPE film die-cut components

HDPE/LDPE film die-cut components are thin, flexible parts such as liners, protective layers, and interleaves. We cut them in our ISO Class 8 cleanroom from medical-grade HDPE/LDPE film, 28–60 µm (≈1.1–2.4 mil). They are not the rigid 10–35 mil HDPE mounting cards. Film parts are compatible with EtO, gamma, and e-beam. Quick-turn prototypes. No minimum order.

What it's for

What it does in your package

Film components do small, specific jobs inside the package. A liner separates the device from another surface. A protective layer covers a finish or an edge. An interleave sits between parts so they do not rub or stick.

This is flexible film, 28–60 µm (≈1.1–2.4 mil). It is not the same product as our rigid HDPE cards at 10–35 mil (0.25–0.89 mm). If the part must hold a device in place, choose a card. If it must line, cover, or separate, choose film.

Film parts are compatible with EtO, gamma, and e-beam. PE film is not porous, so for EtO the parts go inside a package with a porous side, such as a Tyvek® or paper pouch or lid. Place them so they don't block the gas path to the device, and validate the cycle.

Typical applications include

  • Device liners
  • Protective layers
  • Interleaves between parts
  • Kit components

Options

Options and customization

  • Custom die-cut shapes

    We die-cut film parts to the shape on your spec or CAD file.
  • Film gauge

    HDPE/LDPE film from 28 to 60 µm (≈1.1 to 2.4 mil), with 30, 40, 50, and 60 µm in stock. If your spec calls out a gauge, we cut to that gauge. If not, tell us the job the part does and we will help you choose.
  • One order with your other parts

    Order film parts alongside HDPE cards, Tyvek® lids, and sheets cut in the same cleanroom.
  • Packed for your cleanroom

    Counted and double-bagged in our cleanroom, 100 per bag or your count, with a lot label on each bag and carton.

Ordering

How ordering works

  • We cut prototype film parts in weeks, not months, and there is no minimum order.
  • Add them to the same order as your cards, lids, or sheets.
  1. 01

    Send a spec

    Share a spec or CAD file, your customer's spec with its part number and revision, or a sketch or sample part if you don't have a spec yet. Tell us the tray or pouch it goes with and your sterilization method.

  2. 02

    Samples or first articles

    For a new design, ask about samples. We cut prototypes from the production material in weeks, not months, so you can test fit and seal early. For a part that is already validated, we cut first articles to check against the approved spec. A first-article inspection report is available on request.

  3. 03

    Production, any size

    No minimum order on parts we cut. Production typically ships in 2–3 weeks from your PO, and reorders are cut to the same spec revision and material.

FAQ

Common questions

All FAQs

Is this the same as your HDPE mounting cards?

No. These parts are flexible film, 28–60 µm (≈1.1–2.4 mil) thick. Our HDPE mounting cards are rigid and much thicker, at 10–35 mil (0.25–0.89 mm). Choose film when you need a thin, flexible layer. Choose a card when you need to hold a device in place.

What kinds of parts can you cut from film?

Typical parts are liners, protective layers and interleaves. We die-cut them from medical-grade HDPE/LDPE film in our ISO Class 8 cleanroom, to the shape on your spec. If you are not sure film is the right choice, send us the application and we will advise.

Which sterilization methods can I use?

Film parts are compatible with EtO, gamma and e-beam. Polyethylene film is not porous, so for EtO use them inside a package with a porous side and place them so they don't block the gas path to the device. Steam is not yet confirmed, so ask us before you plan a steam cycle. Compatibility depends on the film, the package, and your process. Validate in your own sterilization cycle.

Can I get the film on rolls instead?

Yes. If you convert film on your own line, we supply HDPE/LDPE film rollstock in the same 28–60 µm (≈1.1–2.4 mil) range. The rollstock is sourced from qualified manufacturers. The die-cut parts on this page are cut in our cleanroom.

Can I get samples?

Request samples on the quote form. Tell us the part shape, the film thickness you need, where the part sits in your package, and your sterilization method. We will come back with questions and a sample plan.
