Field Notes on a Quiet Essential: PEVA Pet Body Bags Done Right

I’ve visited more than a few veterinary supply rooms, and one humble product keeps showing up when teams talk about dignity and hygiene: the PEVA Animals/Pet Bodybag. It’s a small thing with a big job—especially in tough moments. This specific model is small-size, 36×81 cm, 0.20 mm PEVA, white, with a curved zipper and two metal zipper handlers. Simple on paper; surprisingly engineered in practice.

Why PEVA is Winning Right Now

Industry trend, in a nutshell: clinics and shelters are phasing out PVC in favor of PEVA—chlorine-free, lower odor, flexible at cool temps, and friendlier to incineration processes. To be honest, the requests I hear most are “no leaks, no fuss.” White color has become standard for discretion. Curved zippers reduce snag points during handling—small detail, big difference.

Key Specifications

Process & Quality—How It’s Made

Materials: Virgin PEVA resin + stabilizers, extruded into film; welded with controlled heat/pressure. Methods: die-cut panels, curve-zipper installation, double welds around the perimeter, QC inspection. Testing: tensile per ASTM D882; dart impact per ASTM D1709; seal strength per ASTM F88. Typical in-house data: tensile ≈18 MPa, elongation ≈300%; dart impact ≈200 g; seal strength >12 N/15 mm. Zipper cycle test: ≈200 open/close cycles with no tooth failure. Service temperature: about −10°C to 50°C.

Where It’s Used

• Veterinary clinics and hospitals
• Pet cremation services and aftercare partners
• Municipal animal control and shelters
• Wildlife rescue (small mammals, birds)

Advantages I hear from teams: quick closure with the curved zipper, minimal odor transfer, easier lifting with two metal handlers. Many customers say the white color helps maintain discretion during transport. Small thing, but it matters.

Vendor Snapshot (real-world, approximate)

Customization & Compliance

Options: sizes from toy breed to large-breed, colors (white/black/blue), printed ID fields, barcodes, tag windows, zipper pulls, and reinforced carry straps. Compliance: factory quality system ISO 9001; environmental management ISO 14001; material declarations aligned with REACH SVHC and RoHS heavy-metal limits.

A Quick Case

A municipal shelter switched from 0.12 mm PVC bags to PEVA Animals/Pet Bodybag 0.20 mm. Reported outcomes after two months: 0 leakage incidents (down from three minor incidents prior), faster closure (≈25% faster per staff timing), and better cold-room handling due to PEVA flexibility. One tech told me, “It just behaves better at 4°C.”

Origin and logistics: manufactured near No. 12, Shuangtong Road, Dahe Town, Luquan District, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. Cartons are compact; most clinics batch-order quarterly. Storage tip: keep flat, out of sunlight, avoid sharp stacking.
