LK Packaging F20406BREF – 4×6 Blue Refrigerate Reclosable Poly Bags

LK Packaging F20406BREF – 4×6 Blue Refrigerate Print Reclosable Poly Bags

The LK Packaging F20406BREF is a 4×6 reclosable poly bag featuring a blue-tinted film printed with “Refrigerate” text — a food-safe storage bag designed to communicate handling instructions directly on the packaging. LK Packaging produces these bags for foodservice, meal prep, and specialty food retail applications where temperature-handling guidance needs to be part of the bag itself rather than a separate label.

What does BREF mean in LK Packaging’s product designation system?

BREF stands for Blue Refrigerate, indicating a blue-tinted LDPE bag printed with the word “Refrigerate” on the film face. LK Packaging’s F20406BREF bags are purpose-built for perishable or temperature-sensitive food products that must be refrigerated after packaging. The blue tint also helps visually differentiate refrigerated items from ambient-temperature products on a prep line or in a storage environment.

What food applications use LK Packaging’s Blue Refrigerate reclosable bags?

LK Packaging F20406BREF bags are used by delis, prepared food retailers, catering operations, and meal kit companies to package items like marinated meats, sliced cheese, prepared salads, fresh pasta, and refrigerated condiments. The printed “Refrigerate” instruction eliminates the need for a separate refrigeration sticker, reducing labeling steps and ensuring the handling instruction is permanently part of the packaging.

How do restaurant and foodservice operators benefit from LK Packaging BREF printed bags?

Foodservice prep operations use LK Packaging F20406BREF bags for portioned ingredients, made-ahead components, and refrigerated toppings that move between kitchen stations and cooler storage multiple times during a shift. The blue-tint film and printed refrigeration instruction provide a clear visual cue that prevents accidental ambient storage of temperature-sensitive prepped foods, reducing food waste and safety risks.

Are LK Packaging F20406BREF bags food-safe and FDA-compliant?

Yes. LK Packaging manufactures the F20406BREF from FDA-compliant LDPE film with food-safe inks, making the bags appropriate for direct contact with the food items they are designed to hold. Always confirm that your specific application meets applicable food-safety regulations and any jurisdiction-specific labeling requirements for your product category.

How does the LK Packaging F20406BREF compare to the standard F20406 for food storage?

The standard LK Packaging F20406 is a clear, unprinted 4×6 reclosable bag appropriate for a wide range of food and non-food applications. The F20406BREF is a specialized variant with blue-tint film and “Refrigerate” print, purpose-designed for temperature-sensitive food applications where handling instructions must be integral to the bag. For ambient-temperature food storage, the standard F20406 remains the recommended LK Packaging choice.
