LK Packaging H21MET 12 x 21 1.2 Mil Plain Metallocene Ice Bag – 10 lb.

LK Packaging H21MET Plain Metallocene Ice Bag – 10 lb. Clear Retail Ice Packaging

The LK Packaging H21MET is a 12 × 21 inch plain clear metallocene ice bag rated at 1.2 mil, built for 10 lb. retail ice programs that use private-label labeling or require an unprinted base bag. The 12-inch wide body provides generous capacity for a full 10 lb. ice fill with the structural integrity to hold the load without distortion or seam stress. Metallocene resin delivers superior puncture resistance and cold-temperature flexibility compared to standard LDPE at the same gauge—critical for 10 lb. ice fills where bag stress is at its highest during filling, transport, and consumer handling. Available by the case and pallet.

What Are the Specifications of the H21MET?

The H21MET measures 12 inches wide by 21 inches tall, providing the internal volume for a standard 10 lb. ice fill with closure clearance above the fill line. The plain clear construction allows full label application across the bag face, supporting private-label ice programs and regulatory compliance labeling. At 1.2 mil metallocene gauge, the H21MET provides puncture resistance that outperforms conventional 1.5 mil LDPE bags—allowing programs to reduce film gauge and cost without sacrificing bag integrity through the ice handling chain from commercial ice room to consumer.

How Does the H21MET Compare to the H21PMET Printed Version?

The H21MET is the plain unprinted version of the H21PMET—same 12 × 21 inch dimensions, same 1.2 mil metallocene gauge, serving different program types. The H21MET suits private-label ice operations where retailers apply their own labels, programs requiring label flexibility for regulatory updates, and ice distributors serving multiple retailer brands from a single base bag inventory. The H21PMET suits branded retail ice programs where consistent pre-applied printing across multiple locations strengthens brand recognition. Both offer identical 1.2 mil metallocene performance advantages.

Regional Grocery Chain 10 lb. Plain Metallocene Ice Bag for Outdoor Seasonal Ice Chest Programs

Regional grocery chains operating outdoor seasonal ice chest programs for spring and summer require a high-durability 10 lb. bag that withstands temperature cycling between ice chest and ambient air, UV exposure, and varied consumer handling. The H21MET’s 1.2 mil metallocene construction resists puncture failures from angular ice load and thermal stress of repeated freeze-thaw cycles in outdoor ice chest environments. The plain clear surface allows retailers to apply regional branding labels, local regulatory compliance information, or seasonal promotional messaging without custom print lead times or minimums.

Does the H21MET Work with Automated Ice Room Equipment?

The H21MET flat-bag format is compatible with standard commercial ice room filling equipment where bags are manually positioned over the ice chute and filled by gravity or auger. For automated equipment requiring wicket-format bags, see LK Packaging’s H21PWMET wicket header variant. The H21MET’s 1.2 mil metallocene film maintains dimensional integrity through manual and semi-automated filling cycles, with cold-temperature flexibility allowing easy closure handling in ice room environments where operator hands are cold and wet during extended bagging sessions.
