Commercial Applications
The 12x18 dimension combined with 2.75 mil thickness serves diverse commercial packaging needs. Print shops and galleries rely on this size for protecting art prints, photographic enlargements, and limited edition prints during storage and shipping. Calendar manufacturers and distributors use these bags for packaging 12x18 wall calendars. Textile operations package towels, folded garments, and linen products. Industrial facilities protect automotive parts, metal components, and assembly kits from moisture, dust, and handling damage.
TUF-R Advantage
LK Packaging's TUF-R linear low-density bags provide significantly better tear and puncture resistance compared to standard low-density polyethylene. The enhanced molecular structure allows these bags to stretch under stress rather than rupture, protecting contents with sharp edges or irregular shapes. This often enables users to specify a lighter gauge TUF-R bag versus heavier LDPE, reducing material costs while maintaining protection levels.
Key Features
- Superior Puncture Resistance: LLDPE construction stretches under stress instead of tearing
- Extra Heavy-Duty: 2.75 mil thickness handles demanding applications
- Crystal Clear: Excellent clarity for product visibility and presentation
- Virgin Materials: Made from 100% virgin resin for FDA food contact compliance
- Cost Effective: Outperforms heavier gauge LDPE at comparable thickness
Sizing Guide
The 12x18 flat bag accommodates contents up to approximately 11x17 inches with room for easy insertion. For heat sealing applications, allow additional bag length for seal area. Standard calendars, legal-plus size documents, and medium art prints fit comfortably within this dimension.
