LK® 8G055416 – 5½×4¾×16 TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Gusset Bag, 0.8 Mil | 500/CS

LK® 8G055416 – 5½″×4¾″×16″ TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Stand-Up Gusset Bag, 0.8 Mil | 500/CS

The LK® 8G055416 is a 0.8 mil clear TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE side gusset bag measuring 5½″ wide × 4¾″ gusset × 16″ long, sold in cases of 500. The nearly square 5½×4¾ cross-section when expanded creates a stable, wide-base bag suited for snack, bakery, and food service portions that need display stability at moderate fill heights. TUF-R® Heavy film provides reliable puncture and tear resistance for foods with irregular textures and variable fill densities.

What advantages does the 4¾″ gusset provide in a 5½×16 bag format?

The 4¾″ gusset on the 8G055416 is nearly as wide as the 5½″ face, producing an almost cylindrical cross-section when filled. This geometry distributes fill pressure evenly around the bag perimeter rather than concentrating it at the flat sides — reducing seam stress and providing a rounded, retail-friendly appearance for snack and bakery items. At 16″, the bag length accommodates standard snack and bakery portion sizes without excess headspace that would require gas flush to maintain freshness.

0.8 Mil TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Film Technical Properties

TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE at 0.8 mil provides the puncture resistance needed for abrasive, irregular bakery and snack products — crackers, granola, and nuts that would puncture standard 0.5 mil LLDPE during handling. The film seals cleanly at the bag top with impulse or heat sealers even with minor product contamination at the seal zone, which is common in high-speed snack filling operations. The clarity of the film maintains product visibility for retail self-selection.

Artisan Cracker, Specialty Chip, and Food Hall Snack Retail Packaging

Artisan cracker and specialty chip producers use the 5½×4¾×16 format for 5–8 oz retail pouches where the stand-up gusset profile differentiates product on food hall, farmers market, and specialty grocery shelving. The near-square cross-section allows these brands to present their product at a premium angle without box packaging — the filled bag stands independently and displays the cracker or chip contents clearly through the LLDPE film. Food hall and catering snack packagers also use this format for portioned mixed nuts, trail mix, and artisan popcorn grab-and-go SKUs.
