3x12 Silverware Bags - Extra-Strength LLDPE for Foodservice Operations
These 3x12 flat poly bags from LK Packaging's Tuf-R® line deliver exceptional puncture resistance in a slim profile designed for silverware, utensils, and narrow items. The linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) construction provides superior strength compared to standard LDPE at the same gauge, making 0.9 mil Tuf-R® bags perform like heavier conventional bags while reducing material costs.

The slim 3-inch width also serves well for drinking straws, chopsticks, pencils, and craft supplies like paintbrushes and knitting needles.

Why Tuf-R® LLDPE?
Linear low-density polyethylene offers a molecular structure that provides greater tensile strength and elongation than conventional LDPE. This means Tuf-R® bags stretch rather than tear when stressed, making them ideal for wrapping items with points or edges. The ability to downgauge—using thinner material with equivalent performance—also reduces environmental impact and per-unit costs.
