20lb Plain Metallocene Ice Bags by LK Packaging - Commercial Ice Packaging
These 13.5x28 metallocene ice bags are engineered specifically for 20-pound ice packaging operations. Metallocene polyethylene delivers superior puncture resistance and cold-temperature flexibility compared to conventional LDPE, reducing bag failures during handling and transport. LK Packaging manufactures these bags to meet the demands of commercial ice producers, convenience stores, and cold chain distribution.
Specs: 13.5 x 28" | Metallocene PE | 20lb capacity | 500/case | Plain (unprinted)
Commercial Applications
These metallocene ice bags serve ice manufacturing plants, commercial ice delivery services, convenience stores, grocery retailers, and food service operations. The plain (unprinted) design works well for private-label ice operations or businesses that apply their own labels. The 20-pound capacity is the industry standard for retail ice sales, fitting standard chest freezer merchandisers and ice delivery trucks.
Why Metallocene Ice Bags?
Metallocene polyethylene represents a significant advancement over conventional LDPE for ice packaging. The molecular structure provides:
- Superior Puncture Resistance: Sharp ice edges and handling stress cause fewer bag failures
- Cold-Temperature Flexibility: Remains pliable at freezer temperatures where standard poly becomes brittle
- Stronger Heat Seals: Consistent seal integrity prevents leakage during thaw cycles
- Excellent Clarity: Crystal-clear appearance for attractive retail presentation
- Downgauging Potential: Stronger material allows thinner films without sacrificing performance
Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between metallocene and regular ice bags?
A: Metallocene PE has a more uniform molecular structure than conventional LDPE, resulting in 30-40% better puncture resistance and seal strength. This means fewer broken bags, less product loss, and better customer experience.
Q: Can I print on these bags or add labels?
A: These are plain/unprinted bags. They accept pressure-sensitive labels well. For custom printed ice bags, contact us for minimum quantities and lead times on printed options.
Q: How should I store unused ice bags?
A: Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Metallocene bags maintain their properties well, but UV exposure can degrade any polyethylene over extended periods.
