3x18 TUF-R Linear Low Density Flat Bags - Extra Strength for Long, Narrow Items
These 3x18 inch TUF-R flat bags from LK Packaging deliver superior puncture resistance in a slim, elongated format. Constructed from 0.9 mil linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), these bags provide the strength of heavier gauge LDPE while using less material—an economical and environmentally conscious choice for high-volume packaging operations.

Applications
The 3x18 dimension is purpose-built for long, slender items across foodservice and commercial operations. Bakeries and delis use these bags for breadsticks, grissini, and pretzel rods. Food service operations package individual utensils, straws, or chopsticks for sanitary single-use presentation. Industrial and craft applications include packaging rulers, dowels, knitting needles, and thin hardware components. The high case count of 5,000 units supports continuous production lines and high-volume retail environments.
Key Features
- TUF-R Technology: LLDPE construction delivers greater puncture and tear resistance than standard LDPE at equivalent thickness
- Downgauge Advantage: 0.9 mil TUF-R often replaces heavier gauge LDPE, reducing material costs without sacrificing performance
- Crystal Clear: Excellent clarity for product visibility and presentation
- Food Safe: Virgin polyethylene meets FDA requirements for direct food contact
- Efficient Packaging: 5,000 per case for fewer reorders and lower per-unit handling costs
Material Comparison: LLDPE vs LDPE
Linear low density polyethylene offers molecular advantages over standard LDPE. The linear chain structure provides superior tensile strength and elongation, meaning TUF-R bags stretch further before breaking and resist punctures from pointed items like breadstick ends or utensil handles. For operations packaging items with sharp or irregular shapes, LLDPE delivers measurable performance improvement.
