LK® 8G042008 – 4×2×8 TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Gusset Bag, 0.85 Mil | 1,000/CS

LK® 8G042008 — 4×2×8 TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Gusset Bag, 0.85 Mil, 1,000/CS

The LK® 8G042008 is a 4-inch by 2-inch by 8-inch side gusset bag made from 0.85 mil TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE film, packed 1,000 per case. TUF-R® Heavy is LK Packaging’s heavy-duty LLDPE gusset bag line, delivering greater puncture resistance and tear strength than standard-duty side gusset bags at equivalent dimensions. The 2-inch gusset expands when filled to create additional interior volume beyond a flat bag of the same face dimensions. The open-top construction accepts heat sealing, impulse sealing, or twist-tie closure.

What Advantages Does the Side Gusset Provide in the 4×2×8 Format?

A 4×2×8 side gusset bag provides significantly more volume than a 4×8 flat bag of the same face width — the 2-inch gusset expands during fill to create a rectangular cross-section that stands upright and holds bulkier contents without the distortion that pushes a flat bag out of square. For items like stacked components, bundled small parts, or granular product, the expanded volume means fewer bags required per unit of product versus a flat bag equivalent. The gusset fold also distributes fill stress away from the seal seam, improving seal integrity under load.

TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Film Properties — 0.85 Mil Gauge

TUF-R® Heavy gusset bags are extruded from 100% linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) at 0.85 mil nominal gauge. This gauge delivers meaningfully greater puncture resistance and tear strength than standard 0.5–0.75 mil LLDPE gusset bags. At the gusset fold lines, heavier film resists fatigue cracking under the repeated flex stress of filled bag handling. The film is optically clear for content visibility, consistently heat-sealable on jaw-type and band sealers, and free of coatings, plasticizers, or barrier layers that would complicate food contact compliance or recycling.

Aromatic Herb, Spice Pouch, and Loose-Leaf Tea Packaging in the 4×2×8 Format

The 4×2×8 gusset bag is a standard retail format for aromatic herb pouches, whole and ground spice retail packs, and loose-leaf tea blends. The gusset expansion allows the bag to stand upright on a retail shelf or farmers market table without a stand-up pouch zipper structure, reducing packaging cost while maintaining a clean display profile. The 0.85 mil TUF-R® Heavy gauge provides additional protection against the puncture risk from whole spices — dried chili stems, star anise pods, cinnamon sticks, and cardamom husks all create sharp contact points that can puncture or stress standard-duty gusset film during vibration-fill and retail handling. FDA-compliant LLDPE is appropriate for direct contact with dried and packaged food products.

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

TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE gusset bag film is FDA-compliant under 21 CFR for direct food contact, qualifying it for food packaging, food retail, and food service applications. The 100% LLDPE single-resin construction carries resin identification code #4 (LDPE) and is accepted at retail plastic film drop-off locations for recycling when clean and dry. No coatings, barrier layers, or colorants are present in the film formulation.
