LK® 7G053513 – 5×3.5×13 LLDPE Side Gusset Bag | 1,000/CS

LK® 7G053513 — 5×3.5×13 LLDPE Side Gusset Bag, 0.75 Mil, 1,000 per Case

The LK® 7G053513 is a 5-inch wide by 3.5-inch gusset by 13-inch long clear LLDPE side gusset bag packaged 1,000 per case. When fully expanded, the 3.5-inch gusset increases the effective bag perimeter to 12 inches, creating a stable, self-supporting structure ideal for products that need to stand upright on a counter or shelf. Made from 0.75 mil TUF-R® Standard LLDPE film, it delivers reliable puncture resistance, high clarity, and the flexibility required for produce, herb, and specialty food packaging.

Why Choose a Side Gusset Bag Over a Flat Poly Bag for Produce and Herbs?

Side gusset bags expand to accommodate volume, allowing produce bunches and fresh herbs to breathe and settle naturally into the bag without compressing the product. The 5×3.5×13 proportions suit upright bundles and clamshell-style arrangements where a flat bag would either be overfilled or too wide. Gusset bags also seal more cleanly across the top when partially filled, creating a tidy package presentation that flat bags struggle to match with irregularly shaped items.

TUF-R® Standard LLDPE Film — 0.75 Mil for Produce and Specialty Food Packaging

TUF-R® LLDPE at 0.75 mil provides the stretch and tear resistance needed to handle the weight of fresh produce without tearing at the seal or gusset pleats. The film maintains clarity even under refrigerated conditions, keeping produce and herb bundles visually appealing in cold case or open market settings. This gauge strikes an optimal balance between material economy and functional durability for high-volume daily packaging operations in food retail, farmers markets, and food manufacturing.

5×3.5×13 Side Gusset Bags for Fresh Herb Clamshells, Small Produce Bundles, and Snack Nut Retail Packs

Grocery produce departments use the 5×3.5×13 gusset bag to package fresh herb bundles — cilantro, basil, dill, mint — where the gusset allows the stems and leaves to fill the bag without crushing. Specialty food manufacturers pre-pack 4–8 oz. portions of mixed nuts, trail mix, or granola into the bag, which stands upright on display shelves due to the gusset base. Small urban farms and farmers market vendors pack bundled radishes, baby carrots, or finger potatoes into this size, pricing by the bag for quick customer turnover.
