LK Packaging PTL1318 13″×18″ Value Plus Poly Pan Liner, Sixth Pan

LK Packaging PTL1318: 13″×18″ Value Plus Poly Pan Liner for Sixth-Size Pans

The LK Packaging PTL1318 is a 13″×18″ Value Plus poly pan liner matched to sixth-size hotel pans and similar commercial kitchen inserts. LK Packaging positions the PTL1318 as the economical grade alternative for sixth-pan applications where operations need single-use liners in quantity without the premium price of poly-nylon construction. Food service kitchens, cafeteria lines, and catering operations running sixth-size pans for condiments, dressings, portion-controlled sides, and specialty menu items use the PTL1318 to maintain clean pan surfaces and reduce changeover labor throughout the service day.

What Sixth-Size Pan Applications Use the PTL1318?

Sixth hotel pans — measuring approximately 6.9″×10.4″ with the PTL1318 liner sized at 13″×18″ for draping — are among the most common pan sizes in commercial food service for small-batch items and specialty stations. Buffet operations use sixth pans for garnishes, toppings, sauce portions, and premium protein items; the PTL1318 liner keeps these high-value items protected from pan surface contamination. Catering operations that transport food in sixth pans also use PTL1318 liners to simplify post-event cleanup when pans must be repurposed quickly for the next catering assignment.

How Does the PTL1318 at 0.48 Mil Perform Compared to Heavier Pan Liners?

At 0.48 mil, the PTL1318 provides enough film integrity for typical food service steam table applications including normal steam table service temperatures, cold food holding, and ambient storage. The lighter gauge is not rated for high-temperature oven or intense steam applications where the premium 1.0 mil poly-nylon PL1318 would be specified. For the majority of food service pan liner applications — which do not involve direct oven exposure — the PTL1318’s Value Plus construction provides functionally equivalent protection at lower per-liner cost.

How Do Commercial Kitchens Integrate Disposable Pan Liners into Their Workflow?

Kitchens using the PTL1318 typically maintain a case at each steam table station, allowing line cooks and service staff to replace liners quickly during service without interrupting food operations. The liner is dropped into the clean pan, the pan is filled, and at end of service or rotation, the liner lifts out with the food or residue, leaving the pan ready for rapid sanitizing or re-lining. This workflow is especially efficient in high-volume cafeterias and fast-casual restaurants where station turnover occurs multiple times per shift.
