Heavy Duty Poly Bags Buying Guide
What Makes LLDPE Bags Stronger Than LDPE?
Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) uses a unique molecular structure that creates a stronger, more puncture-resistant film than traditional Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE). The "linear" chains interlock more tightly, delivering:
- Higher tensile strength - resists tearing when stretched
- Better puncture resistance - protects sharp or heavy items
- Improved clarity - see contents clearly for inventory control
- Lower gauge requirements - 1.8 mil LLDPE = 2.0-2.5 mil LDPE performance

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 1.8 mil TUF-R heavy duty poly bag?A 1.8 mil TUF-R® bag is a bottom-sealed flat poly bag made from linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) film that is 0.0018 inches thick. The LLDPE film gives it the tear and puncture resistance of a 2.0-2.5 mil LDPE bag while using less material, so it is used for industrial parts, hardware, textiles, and bulk food storage. Is 1.8 mil LLDPE stronger than 2 mil LDPE?Yes. A 1.8 mil LLDPE bag matches or exceeds the tear strength of a 2.0 mil LDPE bag and offers better puncture resistance and clarity, because LLDPE's linear molecular chains interlock more tightly than LDPE's branched chains. Because it does the same job at a lighter gauge, it also costs roughly 10-15% less per bag. How thick is 1.8 mil in inches?1.8 mil = 0.0018 inches (45.7 microns). This is considered a medium-heavy gauge suitable for industrial use. Are TUF-R bags food safe?Yes, our LLDPE bags are made from FDA-compliant materials suitable for direct food contact. Ideal for dry goods, bulk ingredients, and food storage. What is the difference between bottom-sealed and side-sealed poly bags?Bottom-sealed bags have the seal on the bottom, which is stronger and more reliable. Side-sealed bags have a seal along one side, which creates a weaker point of failure. TUF-R® uses bottom sealing for maximum strength. Can I get custom sizes of heavy duty poly bags?This category features stock sizes, but we offer custom poly bag manufacturing for volume orders. Contact us for custom sizing, printing, or special requirements. What is the minimum order quantity?Most sizes are sold by the case. Case quantities vary by size, typically 500-1000 bags per case, and bags are packaged in 100-bag inner packs. Check individual product pages for specific quantities. Do you offer free samples of TUF-R poly bags?Yes. Contact us via chat or call 800-569-1266 to request free samples. We will send you a variety of sizes to test before you buy.
