LK® 8G553029 – 5½×3×29 TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Gusset Bag, 0.85 Mil | 500/CS

LK® 8G553029 – 5½″×3″×29″ TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Side Gusset Bag, 0.85 Mil | 500/CS

The LK® 8G553029 is a 0.85 mil clear TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE side gusset bag measuring 5½″ wide × 3″ gusset × 29″ long, sold in cases of 500. The 5″ of additional length beyond the 8G553024 accommodates magnum-format bottles, extra-tall specialty glass, and oversized elongated items that exceed the 24″ bag’s capacity. TUF-R® Heavy film maintains its puncture and fold-line resistance over the longer bag length, providing reliable bag integrity from the base seal to the open top under the weight of a filled bottle or tall product.

What advantages does the 3″ gusset provide in a tall 5½″×29″ format?

The 3″ gusset on the 8G553029 provides the same expanded cross-section as the 24″ version, accommodating magnum bottles (1.5L) and tall specialty spirits that exceed standard bottle heights. At 29″, the bag gives a 1.5L magnum bottle full coverage with comfortable headspace for a closure above the neck — important for gift wrapping and retail display where the bottle should sit fully inside the bag without the neck protruding. The gusset base expansion also lets the bag stand on a flat surface with the magnum inside, a key feature for wine gift display.

0.85 Mil TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Film Technical Properties

TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE at 0.85 mil provides substantially greater puncture resistance and fold-line fatigue protection than standard 0.5 mil LLDPE. For a 29″ bag used in gift packaging, the film provides the consistent clarity, film body, and impact resistance appropriate for premium retail and gifting applications where the packaging experience is part of the product presentation. The film’s resistance to elongation at the gusset folds prevents the base from distorting when the heavy filled bottle is placed upright.

Magnum Wine, Large-Format Spirit, and Premium Gift Bottle Packaging

Wine retailers, specialty bottle shops, and corporate gifting operators use the 5½×3×29 format for 1.5L magnum and double-magnum bottle gift bags — the 29″ length accommodates the full height of a magnum with adequate headspace for a decorative closure, and the 3″ gusset provides base stability for upright display. Caterers and event planners ordering large-format bottles for weddings and corporate events use this bag for individual bottle presentation at place settings and on gift tables where the clear bag displays the label and bottle shape without obscuring the wine.
