MIL-PRF-131 Class 1 Barrier Packaging

MIL-PRF-131 Class 1 is a military-grade barrier packaging specification used to protect products from moisture, vapor transmission and environmental damage. Creopack provides MIL-PRF-131 Class 1 barrier packaging for military, aerospace, export, defense and industrial applications.

Our solutions can include:

  • Custom barrier bags tailored to your product’s exact dimensions
  • Roll stock for small batches, special formats or in-house packaging operations
  • Custom vapor barrier bags designed for military, export or industrial applications

MIL-PRF-131L Class 1 Military-Grade Barrier Protection

Creopack converts MIL-PRF-131L Class 1 barrier materials into custom packaging formats adapted to your product size, handling requirements and protection level.

Thanks to its inner polyethylene layer, this material can be heat sealed using a handheld heat sealer. For best results, a straight-bar sealer applying heat from both sides is recommended. This versatility allows for the creation of custom vapor barrier bags, including formats designed to meet MIL-DTL-117 requirements.

What Is MIL-PRF-131L Class 1?

MIL-PRF-131L Class 1 is a high-performance, water-vapor-proof aluminum foil laminate used in protective packaging applications where moisture, vapor and environmental protection are critical.

As a military-grade material, it must meet strict requirements set by the U.S. Department of Defense for use across defense agencies and demanding industrial applications. These standards support consistent performance, product protection and material traceability.

At Creopack, we offer multiple QPD-listed materials approved by the U.S. Naval Labs Qualified Products Database for MIL-PRF-131L Class 1 applications.

As of April 2022, the specification transitioned from MIL-PRF-131K Class 1 to MIL-PRF-131L Class 1. The update maintained the same performance requirements while streamlining the standard by removing Class 2 materials.

Moisture and Vapor Protection for Critical Products

MIL-PRF-131 Class 1 barrier packaging is designed to reduce the risk of moisture damage, vapor transmission, corrosion, oxidation and contamination during storage, handling and transportation.

This type of barrier protection is especially valuable when products are exposed to long shipping cycles, overseas transport, harsh environments or long-term storage conditions. When combined with desiccants, VCI corrosion-prevention solutions or custom liners, MIL-PRF-131 Class 1 packaging can help create a complete protective packaging system.

MIL-PRF-131L Class 1 Performance Specifications

MIL-PRF-131L Class 1 materials are designed for demanding protective packaging applications.

Key performance benefits include:

  • High resistance to tearing and puncture
  • Strong water vapor barrier properties
  • Protection against moisture, corrosion, oxidation and external contaminants
  • Suitability for large, sensitive or high-value products
  • Compatibility with custom bags, roll stock and heat-sealed formats

These materials are commonly used for products requiring long-term protection during shipment, storage or field deployment.

  • Shipment
  • Storage
  • Field deployment

Rigorous Testing for Uncompromising Quality

To earn a place in the U.S. Naval Labs QPD, MIL-PRF-131L materials undergo extensive testing. Every batch must match the tested sample exactly—any unapproved modification risks rejection and removal from the QPD.

Mandatory Testing Conditions:

  • Relative Humidity: 50% (±5%)
  • Temperature: 73°F (±3°F / ~23°C ±1.5°C)

At Creopack, we supply QPD-listed MIL-PRF-131L Class 1 materials and help ensure that your packaging solution is selected and converted according to your protection requirements.
