LK® 8G105016 – 10×5×16 TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Gusset Bag, 0.8 Mil | 250/CS

LK® 8G105016 – 10″×5″×16″ TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Side Gusset Bag, 0.8 Mil | 250/CS

The LK® 8G105016 is a 0.8 mil clear TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE side gusset bag measuring 10″ wide × 5″ gusset × 16″ long, sold in cases of 250. At this size, the 10″ face and 5″ gusset create a high-volume bag suited for institutional and food service applications where standard 8″ gusset bags are too narrow. TUF-R® Heavy film provides the puncture resistance and seal integrity needed when large, heavy, or sharp-edged fills place significant stress on the gusset folds and base seal.

What advantages does the 5″ gusset provide in a wide 10″×16″ format?

The 5″ gusset on the 8G105016 creates a near-square cross-section when expanded on a 10″ face — the resulting volume can accommodate whole birds, large produce heads, and substantial multi-component packs that would overfill narrower formats. The expanded cross-section also allows the bag to sit flat and stable when filled, important for food service prep operations where filled bags are stacked in coolers or placed in sheet pan racks for holding.

0.8 Mil TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Film Technical Properties

TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE at 0.8 mil is engineered to resist the higher film stress that large-format bags experience under heavy fill loads. The film provides elevated puncture resistance across the wide 10″ face and the three gusset fold lines at the sides — locations where fill weight and content edges concentrate stress in large bags. The film is clear for product visibility and compatible with heat, impulse, and band-sealing equipment used in food service and food manufacturing operations.

Whole Poultry and Large-Format Food Service Protein Distribution

Poultry processors and food service distributors use the 10×5×16 format as a utility bag for whole birds and large bone-in portions — whole chickens, Cornish hens, and duck portions that require a 10″ face to fit without folding the film against the product. The 5″ gusset provides the interior volume needed for the full body cavity and frame width of a whole bird while keeping the bag profile manageable for display-case and cooler storage. The 0.8 mil film handles the bone-tip puncture risk that makes standard LLDPE unsuitable for unpackaged poultry applications.
