LK Packaging H20PWMET 11 x 20 1.5 Mil Printed Metallocene Ice Bag on Wicket Dispenser – 8 lb.

LK Packaging H20PWMET Printed Metallocene Ice Bag on Wicket Dispenser – 8 lb. Automated Ice Packaging

The LK Packaging H20PWMET is an 11 × 20 inch printed metallocene ice bag in wicket dispenser format, rated at 1.5 mil and engineered for automated ice bagging and retail display dispensing systems. The wicket format allows ice bags to be dispensed from a retail display stand or loaded into automated ice room filling equipment for continuous high-volume ice bagging operations. At 1.5 mil metallocene gauge, the H20PWMET provides enhanced puncture resistance for the demanding environment of automated 8 lb. ice filling. Available by the case for grocery ice room and retail ice dispensing programs.

What Is the Wicket Dispenser Format on the H20PWMET?

Wicket-format ice bags are stacked on a wire wicket—a U-shaped holder that passes through holes punched in the bag lip—allowing individual bags to be pulled from the stack for manual filling, or loaded as a wicket bundle into automated ice bagger machinery. The H20PWMET wicket format serves both retail display dispensing programs where consumers pull individual bags at self-service ice machines, and grocery ice room automated production programs where bagger equipment picks bags from the wicket stack for mechanical filling and sealing.

How Does 1.5 Mil Metallocene Differ from 1.2 Mil in Ice Bag Applications?

The H20PWMET’s 1.5 mil metallocene gauge provides enhanced puncture resistance and tear strength compared to 1.2 mil variants—relevant for 8 lb. ice fills where heavier ice mass and angular ice edges create more stress on bag walls during filling and consumer handling. The 1.5 mil gauge is appropriate for programs that have experienced bag failure complaints at 1.2 mil or that operate automated filling equipment at high throughput speeds where mechanical bag stress is elevated. The tradeoff versus 1.2 mil is a modest cost premium for the additional film weight and durability.

Grocery Chain Wicket-Dispensed 8 lb. Printed Ice Bag for Front-End Checkout Ice Merchandising

Grocery chains operating front-end checkout ice merchandising programs benefit from the H20PWMET’s wicket dispenser format. Individual bags are pre-mounted on the wicket dispenser for easy consumer self-selection, and the printed face provides branded ice program graphics that drive recognition and repeat purchase at the point of impulse. The 1.5 mil metallocene construction handles the consumer self-handling environment of checkout lane ice merchandising with reduced bag failure compared to lighter-gauge alternatives, minimizing consumer complaints and shrink losses at high-traffic locations.

The H20PWMET’s 11 × 20 inch dimensions and wicket format are designed for compatibility with commercial ice bagging and dispensing systems.
