8x20 Extra Heavy Duty Flat Poly Bags - Tuf-R LLDPE by LK Packaging
These 8x20 flat poly bags from LK Packaging's Tuf-R line deliver exceptional strength and puncture resistance for demanding packaging applications. At 2.75 mil thickness, these linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) bags handle sharp edges, heavy items, and rough handling that would compromise lighter-gauge alternatives. The elongated 8x20 profile accommodates long, narrow items that standard bag sizes cannot.

Applications
The 8x20 dimension and heavy-duty construction serve diverse commercial operations. Hardware distributors use these bags for packaging wooden dowels, metal rods, and long fastener assortments. Art supply retailers protect paintbrushes, rolled prints, and craft materials. Industrial facilities package long machine parts, pipe fittings, and assembly components. Food service operations find these bags suitable for baguettes, breadsticks, and specialty baked goods requiring extra protection during transport.
Why Tuf-R LLDPE Outperforms Standard LDPE
LK Packaging's Tuf-R linear low-density formulation provides measurably superior puncture resistance compared to conventional LDPE bags of equivalent gauge. The molecular structure of LLDPE creates stronger, more flexible film that stretches rather than tears when stressed. This means you can often substitute a lighter-gauge Tuf-R bag for a heavier LDPE bag, reducing material costs while maintaining protection. For operations handling items with sharp corners, rough textures, or significant weight, Tuf-R bags minimize package failures and product damage.
Key Features
- Puncture Resistant: LLDPE construction withstands sharp edges and rough handling
- Extra Heavy Duty: 2.75 mil thickness for maximum protection
- Food Safe: Virgin materials meet FDA requirements for direct food contact
- Cost Efficient: Superior strength allows downgauging versus standard LDPE
- Clear Material: Product visibility for inventory and retail display
Sizing Guidance
The 8x20 flat bag accommodates items up to approximately 7 inches wide and 19 inches long with allowance for closure. For heat sealing, allow additional length for the seal area. These bags work well with twist ties, heat sealers, or bag tape closures depending on your operational requirements.
