LK® 8G553024 – 5½×3×24 TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Gusset Bag, 0.85 Mil | 500/CS

LK® 8G553024 – 5½″×3″×24″ TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Side Gusset Bag, 0.85 Mil | 500/CS

The LK® 8G553024 is a 0.85 mil clear TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE side gusset bag measuring 5½″ wide × 3″ gusset × 24″ long, sold in cases of 500. The narrow 5½″ face and tall 24″ length create a format purpose-built for elongated cylindrical products — wine and spirit bottles, tall specialty glass, and long narrow items that need length far beyond their face width. TUF-R® Heavy film provides the puncture resistance and seal integrity needed for glass packaging applications where film abrasion and impact resistance matter.

What advantages does the 3″ gusset provide in a tall 5½″×24″ format?

The 3″ gusset on the 8G553024 expands the bag to accommodate the diameter of a standard wine bottle — the 5½″ face plus 3″ gusset yields a fully expanded circumference that accommodates a 750 ml bottle without the film pressing tightly against the glass. The expanded base also lets the bag stand when the bottle is inside, making it suitable for retail display, gift wrapping, and transport without additional structural packaging. At 24″, the bag provides headspace for a standard bottle height with room for a twist-tie, ribbon, or heat seal closure at the top.

0.85 Mil TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Film Technical Properties

TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE at 0.85 mil provides substantially greater puncture resistance than standard 0.5 mil LLDPE — important for glass bottle packaging where the film must resist impact from glass edges and label embossing during handling. The film’s fold-line resistance also prevents the gusset corners from weakening during the repeated flexing that occurs when bags are placed in and removed from retail display bins. The clear film maintains full bottle label visibility through the bag face for retail self-selection.

Wine Bottle, Spirit Gift Wrapping, and Specialty Retail Bottle Packaging

Wine shops, specialty food retailers, and gift basket assemblers use the 5½×3×24 format as the standard bag for individual 750 ml wine and spirit bottle retail packaging — the tall clear bag is the conventional format for bottle gift-wrapping and retail display at checkout displays and wine-by-the-bottle sections. The 0.85 mil film provides the visual weight and tactile quality appropriate for premium gift packaging. Corporate gifting and event planners who purchase wines in quantity also use this format for branded bottle bags with printed inserts or labels applied over the clear film.
