About Jumbo PESCRIM Body Bags – 16 Handles

Engineered specifically for bariatric and heavy-mass decedent care, this is the largest containment bag manufactured by Classic Plastics.

• Physical Dimensions: 54” x 98” (137 cm x 248.9 cm)

• Weight Capacity: Structurally certified to carry an incredible 3,500 lbs safely.

• Performance Benchmark: Extensively stress-tested to handle extreme-weight extractions, including transport down six flights of stairs without material failure.

When moving cases exceeding standard weight limits, personnel ergonomics and safety become critical. The 16 nylon-reinforced handles are positioned around the entire perimeter of the bag, allowing a lift team of up to eight handlers to distribute the extreme weight evenly. This prevents severe back strain on funeral directors, morgue technicians, or first responders during complex extractions.

The Jumbo Bag is constructed from PE-SCRIM (Nylon Reinforced Polyethylene) with a heavy gauge thickness of 0.20 mm.

• The Strength: The embedded nylon scrim mesh provides unmatched tear and puncture resistance.

• The Safety: The polyethylene material is 100% PVC-free and chlorine-free. This means it meets all EPA clean-air requirements and can be fully processed by crematoriums without releasing toxic dioxins or damaging crematory retorts.

Despite its massive size, fluid containment remains a primary operational factor. The bag is fabricated using a strict sealed and sewn construction—meaning all structural seams are heat-sealed to prevent bloodborne pathogens or fluids from escaping. The closure utilizes a highly visible, black envelope-style zipper path outfitted with heavy-duty Double #10 Zippers that won’t separate under extreme horizontal tension.
