LK® 9F1018 – 10×18 TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE Flat Bag, 2.75 Mil | 500/CS

The LK® 9F1018 is a 2.75 mil clear LLDPE flat bag measuring 10″ × 18″, sold in cases of 500 from NFC Bags. TUF-R® Extra Heavy is LK Packaging’s maximum-gauge flat-bag LLDPE film line, providing outstanding puncture resistance, tear strength, and load-bearing capacity for demanding food service, industrial, and institutional packaging applications. The open-top design accepts heat, impulse, or twist-tie closure and runs on standard in-line packaging equipment.

What packaging applications match the 10×18 format in extra-heavy poly bags?

The 10″ × 18″ is a large-format flat bag combining a wide 10-inch face with 18 inches of bag depth — suitable for whole cuts of meat, elongated industrial parts, large apparel items, and substantial food service portions. Grocery meat departments use it for whole roasting chickens and large deli cuts. Industrial packagers use it for long-format metal components and assembly kits. Institutional bakeries use it for large loaves and specialty breads. At 500 per case, the pack size supports high-volume large-format bagging operations.

2.75 Mil TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE Film: Maximum-Gauge Puncture Resistance

At 2.75 mil, TUF-R® Extra Heavy film is the thickest flat-bag LLDPE specification in LK Packaging’s TUF-R® lineup. This gauge is specified when bag contents are dense, sharp-edged, or subjected to high cumulative handling stress — and when the large bag format must maintain seal integrity under the weight of tall or heavy contents during filling and transport. The film seals cleanly under heat and impulse sealers and maintains gauge uniformity for repeatable packaging line performance.

Whole Poultry and Large Meat Cut Packaging in TUF-R® Extra Heavy 10×18

Grocery meat departments, butcher shops, and food service poultry distributors that bag whole chickens, ducks, and large bone-in cuts need a bag wide enough for the girth and long enough for full enclosure. The LK® 9F1018 provides 10 inches of width and 18 inches of depth — a standard fit for 5–8 lb roasting chickens and most whole bone-in poultry cuts. The 2.75 mil Extra Heavy film resists puncture from exposed wing tips, breastbones, and leg joints, maintaining bag integrity and food safety through refrigerated distribution. Cases of 500 are sized for high-volume poultry and meat department operations.
