LK® 9F1830 – 18×30 TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE Flat Bag, 2.75 Mil | 250/CS

LK® 9F1830 – 18×30 TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE Flat Bag, 2.75 Mil | 250/CS

The LK® 9F1830 is an 18-inch by 30-inch open-top flat bag made from TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE film at 2.75 mil. Cases of 250 bags support high-throughput food service, garment, and industrial operations requiring a tall rectangular format with maximum-gauge film protection. The 18-inch width and 30-inch depth handle oversized and elongated goods that shorter flat bags cannot contain. Open-top construction is compatible with heat sealing, impulse sealing, or fold-and-tape closure.

What packaging applications match the 18×30 format in extra-heavy poly bags?

An 18-inch width paired with a 30-inch depth covers a wide range of long-format packaging needs. Food distributors use the 9F1830 for full sides of salmon, whole bone-in hams, rack-length pork ribs, and extended vacuum-pack overwraps where a shorter bag would not close cleanly. Garment operations bag full-length trench coats, dresses, and tall folded knitwear without forcing the hem. Industrial distributors use this format for long sheet metal strips, rolled rubber gaskets, fluorescent lighting panels, and ladder sections requiring moisture and abrasion protection during shipment. Agricultural packagers seal full-length stalks, whole celery heads, and large leek bundles in this format for wholesale transit.

2.75 Mil TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE Film: Maximum-Gauge Puncture Resistance

At 2.75 mil, TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE film provides the highest puncture and tear resistance in the TUF-R® flat bag series. For long-format bags like the 9F1830, film strength is critical because elongated contents apply lateral stress to the bag when tipped or handled. LLDPE’s high elongation at break means the film stretches around protruding bone ends, sharp cut edges, and folded garment hardware rather than propagating a tear from stress points. The 2.75 mil gauge outperforms standard 1.5 mil and heavy 2 mil LLDPE bags in repeated bend and drop tests, making it the right choice wherever lighter gauges have failed under load.

Tall Garment Overwrap and Full-Length Apparel Packaging

Garment manufacturers, retailers, and fulfillment centers packaging full-length coats, dresses, and jumpsuits need a flat bag tall enough to accept the garment without forcing a second fold that creases the hem or distorts the collar. The 9F1830 at 30 inches deep accommodates standard adult coats and dresses folded once at the midpoint, while the 18-inch width provides clearance for wide-shouldered outerwear and dresses with volume at the skirt. At 2.75 mil, the bag resists snags from buttons, zippers, and snap hardware that puncture thinner garment poly during conveyor sorting and warehouse stacking, reducing bag failures and repack labor across high-volume fulfillment operations.
