LK® 8F1824 – 18×24 TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Flat Bag, 2 Mil | 500/CS

LK® 8F1824 — 18×24 TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Flat Bag, 2 Mil, 500/CS

The LK® 8F1824 is an 18-inch by 24-inch heavy-gauge LLDPE flat bag made from 2 mil TUF-R® Heavy film, packed 500 per case. At 18×24, this is one of the largest flat bags in the TUF-R® Heavy line, suited for oversized items, industrial component protection, large food packaging, and bulk soft goods. TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE delivers the maximum puncture resistance and film strength available in LK’s flat bag range. The open-top flat construction accepts heat sealing, impulse sealing, or fold-and-seal closure for both manual and automated operations.

When Should You Choose 2 Mil for an 18×24 Heavy-Gauge Bag?

At 18×24, the bag face area is large enough that content weight, even when distributed, creates significant downward stress on the seal and lower film panel. Standard-duty bags in this size fail quickly under moderate fill weights, and even 1.8 mil film may prove marginal for heavy industrial or bulk food applications. The 2 mil TUF-R® Heavy specification is appropriate when content weighs over 5 pounds, when items have hard corners or structural elements that contact the film face, or when the bags will be stored filled on pallets or shelving where stacking pressure adds cumulative load. For any large-format packaging application with meaningful weight or abrasion, 2 mil is the correct starting specification.

TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Film Properties — 2 Mil Gauge

TUF-R® Heavy 2 mil bags are produced from 100% LLDPE resin at 2.0 mil nominal gauge with no coatings or barrier layers. The film delivers high puncture resistance and dart impact ratings across the full 18×24 bag surface. LLDPE’s elongation-before-failure property means the film stretches under concentrated stress rather than shattering, protecting even delicate surfaces from puncture damage. The material heat-seals on all standard industrial jaw and band sealers at normal settings, maintains flexibility at freezer temperatures, and is optically clear for content inspection.

Patio Cushion, Large Textile, and Furniture Component Protection in the 18×24 Format

Outdoor furniture manufacturers, home goods distributors, and large-format textile suppliers use the 18×24 heavy-duty flat bag as a standard protective bag for patio cushions, chair pads, throw blankets, and folded soft goods. The 18×24 footprint accommodates most standard patio cushion sizes for chair backs and seat cushions, providing moisture protection during seasonal storage, retail display, and transit from manufacturer to end consumer. The 2 mil gauge resists the puncture risk from zipper hardware and cushion gusset seams, and the film’s transparency allows consumers to inspect the cushion pattern, fabric, and color without opening the bag. For furniture component kitting operations, the bag holds hardware packs, corner protectors, and assembly instructions alongside the component in a single protective package.
