MIL-SPEC VCI Gun Bags and Barrier Packaging Standards

Arms Preservation Inc. designs and supplies anti-corrosion VCI gun bags and barrier packaging systems for military-style storage and transport. Our constructions are specified to meet or exceed common contract requirements when the correct Type, Class, and closure method are applied.

Final compliance depends on your contract packaging data and preservation method callouts. We support documentation, traceability, and build-to-spec packaging workflows.

MIL-SPEC standards we support

MIL-PRF-22019 – VCI-treated transparent flexible barrier material.
MIL-DTL-22020 – VCI-treated bag constructions and formats.
MIL-DTL-117 – Waterproof and water vapor proof barrier bags by class and style.
MIL-PRF-81705 – ESD protective barrier materials for static-sensitive packaging.
TO 11A-13-10-7 – U.S. Air Force weapon and component packaging guidance.
MIL-STD-2073-1 – Methods of preservation and packaging system selection.

How API VCI gun bags meet or exceed key requirements

MIL-PRF-22019 VCI barrier material

Our VCI film selections are specified for vapor inhibitor performance and barrier behavior consistent with MIL-PRF-22019 use cases. We support heat-seal and production-friendly formats to match your workflow.

MIL-DTL-22020 VCI bag formats

We provide VCI bag constructions commonly ordered under MIL-DTL-22020 packaging programs. We can build unit packs sized for pistols, rifles, shotguns, and metal assemblies.

MIL-DTL-117 barrier bags and outer protection

When a contract requires MIL-DTL-117 style barrier protection, we can support an outer barrier layer or overwrap approach. This supports waterproof and water vapor proof performance targets for storage and shipment.

MIL-PRF-81705 ESD and moisture barrier needs

For static-sensitive environments, we offer bag constructions that pair VCI protection with an ESD protective outer barrier. This supports control of moisture and electrostatic risk in the same package.

TO 11A-13-10-7 weapon storage packaging

We support weapon and component storage workflows aligned to TO 11A-13-10-7 packaging expectations. We offer formats sized for common small arms and inspection cycles.

MIL-STD-2073-1 methods of preservation support

We help customers align bag construction, closure, and barrier selection to MIL-STD-2073-1 preservation intent. We support VCI-treated materials and packaging method selection for long-term corrosion control.

FAQs about VCI gun bags

Do VCI gun bags replace oil or grease?

VCI gun bags reduce corrosion risk inside the enclosure. Light oil is fine for storage. Heavy exterior grease can create a mess and reduce inspection efficiency.

Can VCI gun bags be reused?

Yes, many users reuse VCI gun bags for inspections and long-term storage. Reuse depends on cleanliness, handling, and maintaining an effective enclosure.

Do VCI gun bags work for long-term storage in humid areas?

They can. Performance improves when firearms are clean, dry, and enclosed in a consistent setup. Bag size and closure method matter in high humidity.

Can you supply documentation for MIL-SPEC purchasing?

Yes. We can support certificates and traceability for packaging materials and finished goods. We can also provide packaging checklists and QC records by request.
