E1217LLD: 12″ × 17″ Produce Bags on Roll in 0.55 Mil LLDPE
The E1217LLD is a 12-inch wide by 17-inch tall linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) produce bag on a perforated roll, with a 2-inch lip panel. At 0.55 mil, this bag is slightly heavier than standard 0.5 mil HDPE produce bags, offering a premium feel with the flexible, stretchy properties characteristic of LLDPE. The 12-inch width makes this one of the widest standard produce bag formats available, designed for bulky vegetables, large fruit clusters, and full herb bouquets.
Why Choose a 12-Inch Wide Produce Bag?
The 12-inch opening is 1 inch wider than the industry-standard 11-inch produce bag, providing measurably more room for bulky items. Large broccoli crowns, heads of cauliflower, bunches of beets with tops attached, and full herb bundles benefit from the extra width. Retailers who carry premium-size produce or handle large CSA box items find the 12×17 format reduces the need for double-bagging, lowering material cost and improving the customer experience at the produce bin.
LLDPE vs. HDPE for Wide-Format Produce Bags
The E1217LLD uses LLDPE rather than HDPE, giving the bag a softer, more flexible feel. Where HDPE bags are stiffer and snap open quickly, LLDPE bags stretch slightly under load, reducing the risk of tearing when filled with heavy or irregular produce. The 0.55 mil gauge provides additional body compared to thinner 0.5 mil bags, giving LLDPE bags a premium in-hand feel that aligns with upscale grocery positioning.
Specialty Grocery, Co-Op, and Farm Stand Applications
Natural food co-ops, specialty grocery retailers, and farm stands that carry larger-format produce use the 12-inch bag to match their product mix. When stocked alongside standard 11×14 bags, the E1217LLD serves as the designated oversized-item bag, reducing checkout delays caused by customers struggling with undersized bags on large vegetables. The roll format dispenses from standard produce bag holders with 12-inch core widths.
