LK® 9F3648 – 36×48 TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE Flat Bag, 2.75 Mil | 100/CS

LK® 9F3648 – 36×48 TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE Flat Bag, 2.75 Mil | 100/CS

The LK® 9F3648 is a 36-inch by 48-inch open-top flat bag made from TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE film at 2.75 mil. This is the largest standard format in the TUF-R® Extra Heavy flat bag line, and cases of 100 bags serve heavy industrial, equipment, and specialty packaging operations that require maximum-gauge film at full pallet-adjacent dimensions. The 36-inch width and 48-inch depth provide coverage for oversized equipment components, large panels, and bulky goods that no smaller flat bag can contain. Open-top construction supports heat sealing, impulse sealing, or fold-and-tape closure.

What packaging applications match the 36×48 format in extra-heavy poly bags?

The 36×48 format is the largest TUF-R® Extra Heavy flat bag and serves applications where bag size approaches pallet dimensions. Industrial equipment manufacturers use this size to wrap large machine subassemblies, motor housings, pump bodies, and frame sections during inter-facility transit and export packaging. Construction supply distributors bag full 4×4-foot plywood and OSB panel sections, wide foam insulation blocks, and oversize tile field kits. Graphics and trade show display suppliers package wide-format rigid substrates, backlit display panels, and full-size exhibit graphics. Hospitality and institutional laundry operations use the 36×48 format to bulk-bag full king-size comforter sets, large hospitality bedspreads, and oversized institutional blanket packs that exceed the capacity of all smaller flat bag formats.

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

At 2.75 mil, TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE delivers the highest puncture, tear, and abrasion resistance available in the TUF-R® flat bag product family. For a very large bag like the 9F3648, film gauge is especially critical because the wide surface area amplifies any impact or load stress into potential bag failures at seams and corners. LLDPE’s high elongation at break allows the 2.75 mil film to flex and absorb loads from heavy equipment components, rigid panel edges, and dense textile bundles without propagating tears from contact points. This makes the 9F3648 the correct choice for industrial operations where lighter-gauge large bags have failed consistently under load.

Pallet-Cover and Bulk Equipment Wrap for Industrial Transit

Manufacturers, distributors, and freight consolidators regularly need to protect large machine components, assembled subframes, and oversized fabricated parts during domestic and export transit without a full custom crate. The 9F3648 at 36×48 inches accepts components up to 34 inches wide and 46 inches tall, covering the part fully with margin for sealing. At 2.75 mil, the film provides meaningful moisture and abrasion protection against condensation, warehouse humidity, and freight contact—extending the window between fabrication and delivery without corrosion or surface damage. For companies shipping components on flat racks or in open containers, the 9F3648 provides a first layer of moisture protection before outer stretch wrap is applied, significantly reducing surface corrosion claims on bare metal components.

FDA Compliance and Recyclability of TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE Flat Bags

TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE film meets FDA food-contact compliance standards, making the 9F3648 suitable for food packaging applications even at this large format. The film is free of BPA, phthalates, and added plasticizers. As an LLDPE #4 resin, used 9F3648 bags are accepted by polyethylene film recycling drop-off programs at participating retailers, supporting sustainable end-of-life disposal for industrial and commercial users generating regular volumes of this large-format bag.
