TUF-R® Standard LLDPE 3″ × 18″ Flat Bag for Full-Length Narrow Items
The LK® 7F0318 is a 3-inch by 18-inch flat bag produced from TUF-R® Standard LLDPE film at 0.9 mil thickness. At 18 inches, this is the longest format in the standard 3-inch width series, sized for packaging tall produce, full-length floral stems, long specialty food items, and extended industrial components. FDA-compliant material supports food contact applications. Sold 1,000 bags per case.
What Fits in a 3″ × 18″ Flat Bag?
A 3 × 18 bag is designed for items in the 15–17 inch range. Applications include full-length leeks, whole asparagus bundles, tall single-stem roses and cut flowers, long baguette sections, standard-length dowels, tall candles, and dried full-length pasta bundles. The 3-inch width keeps narrow items from shifting while the 18-inch length eliminates the need to fold or trim product for packaging.
Why LLDPE Is Specified for Long-Format Flat Bags
At 18 inches, a flat bag carries more weight per item than shorter formats and is subject to greater stress during handling. TUF-R® Standard LLDPE at 0.9 mil is engineered for the elongation and puncture resistance needed in longer bag formats. The material flexes without tearing under load and seals cleanly at standard temperatures, maintaining integrity through packaging, transit, and retail display.
Why the 3″ × 18″ Format Is the Longest Standard Narrow Flat Bag for Full-Length Produce, Floral, and Specialty Food Items
The 3 × 18 represents the practical upper bound for narrow flat bags in standard packaging operations. Items requiring more than 17 inches of bag depth generally require gusset formats or poly tubing to achieve a clean package — but for items within the 3-inch width and 18-inch capacity, this format eliminates the need for a more complex packaging material. Bakeries, florists, specialty food producers, and craft operations that require the longest narrow bag format available use the 7F0318 as their endpoint specification.
