17x21 LLDPE Flat Bags by LK Packaging - Durable Apparel & Merchandise Protection
These 17 x 21 inch Tuf-R® linear low-density polyethylene flat bags deliver superior puncture resistance for packaging sweaters, folded apparel, and retail merchandise. The LLDPE construction provides extra toughness compared to standard LDPE bags at the same gauge, making the 1 mil thickness suitable for applications where heavier bags would otherwise be required. Manufactured by LK Packaging from virgin materials, these bags meet FDA requirements for food contact applications.

Commercial Applications
The 17x21 size accommodates a wide range of commercial packaging needs. Apparel retailers and e-commerce operations use these bags for packaging sweaters, folded shirts, and soft goods for shipment or retail display. The generous dimensions fit standard folded garments with room for protective tissue or cardboard inserts. Textile manufacturers rely on this size for work-in-progress protection between production stages. Print shops and photographers find the 17x21 format ideal for protecting large prints, mounted artwork, and promotional materials. The puncture-resistant LLDPE material guards against tears during handling and transit.
Key Features
- Enhanced Puncture Resistance: Tuf-R® LLDPE outperforms standard LDPE at equivalent thickness, reducing bag failures
- Gauge Reduction Potential: Use lighter-gauge Tuf-R® bags instead of heavier LDPE, saving cost and reducing material usage
- Virgin Material Construction: Food-grade quality suitable for direct food contact applications
- Consistent Quality: LK Packaging manufacturing ensures reliable dimensions and performance
- Versatile Flat Design: Open-top format allows quick loading and sealing with tape, ties, or heat sealers
Material Comparison
Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) offers distinct advantages over conventional low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The linear molecular structure provides greater tensile strength and impact resistance. For packaging operations, this translates to fewer damaged bags, reduced product exposure, and potential cost savings through gauge reduction. A 1 mil Tuf-R® bag often performs comparably to a 1.5 mil standard LDPE bag.
