VCI stands for Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor. This means that metal items sealed in our VCI bubble bags are protected from rust. The VCI film in our bubble bags has been imbued with chemical formulations that stop vapor molecules from condensing on exposed metal surfaces.
Shipping conditions aren’t always the best for metal items such as jewelry or automotive parts. High humidity can create perfect conditions for rust, especially over long periods of time. That’s why it’s wise to invest in VCI bubble bags for your shipping inventory containing metal.
