Parts Bags & Kraft Paper

Aircraft Parts Bags

Parts bags provide a convenient way to separate and protect aircraft hardware, components and maintenance parts. They can be used to keep small parts together during disassembly, inspection, repair and reassembly, or to organize parts for storage and shipment.

For maintenance organizations, properly organizing removed hardware and components can also help keep work areas orderly and reduce the chance of small parts becoming misplaced during a maintenance procedure.

Kraft Paper for Aircraft Maintenance

Kraft paper is a versatile shop material for packaging, wrapping and protecting parts and work surfaces. Aviation maintenance shops can use kraft paper as void filler and cushioning material, to wrap boxes and components, or as a temporary protective covering for workbenches and other surfaces.

Kraft paper can also be useful for protecting aircraft parts and equipment from dirt, dust and incidental contact during shop handling. Select the appropriate paper weight and roll size for the intended application.

Common Aviation Shop Applications

Parts Organization & Protection

Small aircraft hardware can be easy to lose or mix together during maintenance. Parts bags provide a simple way to keep hardware and components grouped with the applicable job or assembly. Depending on the bag type, they can also help protect contents from dirt and handling during shop storage.

For components removed from an aircraft, follow the applicable maintenance organization's procedures for identification, tagging, segregation, protection and storage. Parts bags are a packaging and organization aid and do not replace required maintenance documentation or parts-control procedures.

Kraft Paper Uses in the MRO Shop

• Wrap aircraft parts and components during shop handling.
• Protect boxes and packaged components.
• Use as void filler and cushioning material for packages.
• Cover workbenches and other shop surfaces.
• Help protect aircraft interior and exterior components during maintenance.
• Separate parts and materials during storage or transportation.

Choosing Parts Bags & Kraft Paper

Select the packaging material based on the part being handled, the required level of protection and the intended storage or shipping environment. For kraft paper, consider the paper weight, roll width and roll length. For parts bags, consider the bag dimensions and the size and type of component being stored.

For sensitive aircraft components, use the packaging and preservation method specified by the applicable manufacturer or maintenance documentation. Packaging materials should not be assumed to provide ESD, corrosion, chemical or other specialized protection unless the individual product is specifically designed and identified for that purpose.
