LK Packaging 6 x 10 Lab-Loc® Tamper-Evident 3-Wall Specimen Bags with Adhesive Closure 2 Mil

LK Packaging 6 x 10 Lab-Loc® Tamper-Evident 3-Wall Specimen Bags with Adhesive Closure

LK Packaging 6 x 10 Lab-Loc® Tamper-Evident 3-Wall Specimen Bags with Adhesive Closure combine the proven Lab-Loc® specimen containment system with a tamper-evident adhesive flap closure for clinical laboratory transport applications requiring chain-of-custody documentation and single-use integrity verification. Manufactured from 2 mil polyethylene with a 3-wall construction, these bags feature a separate front document pocket that isolates the paper requisition from the specimen compartment, biohazard printing for OSHA compliance, and three temperature condition checkboxes — Frozen, Refrigerate, and Room Temp — printed on the bag face for clear specimen handling instructions. The adhesive closure seals on first contact and cannot be reopened without visible evidence of tamper, providing the integrity indication needed for collection-to-lab chain-of-custody programs.

How Lab-Loc® Adhesive Closure Bags Differ From Reclosable Zipper Bags

The standard Lab-Loc® specimen bags (LAB20xxx series) use a reclosable zipper that can be opened and resealed multiple times, supporting lab-side specimen access during processing. Lab-Loc® Adhesive Closure bags (LABAC series) replace the zipper with a one-time tamper-evident adhesive flap. Once sealed, the bag shows visible evidence of opening, making it appropriate for collection-to-lab chain-of-custody scenarios where tamper indication is a compliance requirement. Both versions share the same 2 mil polyethylene construction, 3-wall document pocket, and biohazard identification — the difference is the closure type and its tamper evidence capability.

6 x 10 Adhesive Closure Format for Standard Outpatient Collections

The 6 x 10 inch format handles standard urine cups, evacuated blood tube sets in secondary carton holders, and swab transport tubes used in outpatient clinical collections. The adhesive closure flap is protected by a release liner during bag preparation, preventing accidental sealing before the collector is ready. After specimen insertion, the liner is peeled away and the flap pressed down firmly across the full width of the bag opening, creating a complete tamper-evident seal. The three temperature checkboxes on the bag face allow collection staff to mark the required storage condition at the point of collection, reducing the risk of incorrect specimen storage upon lab receipt.

Laboratory Compliance Programs Requiring Adhesive-Sealed Specimen Bags

CAP-accredited laboratories and Joint Commission-reviewed health systems often specify tamper-evident specimen bags as part of their pre-analytical quality management programs. Lab-Loc® Adhesive Closure bags satisfy these specifications while maintaining the LK Packaging construction quality that laboratory supply coordinators recognize from the broader Lab-Loc® product family. For facilities that require a single-use sealed bag for collection site-to-lab transport but want to maintain procurement simplicity by standardizing on one brand, the LABAC series provides tamper evidence within the same LK Packaging supply relationship as reclosable Lab-Loc® bags.

What Do the Temperature Checkboxes on LABAC Bags Indicate?

LK Packaging Lab-Loc® Adhesive Closure bags are printed with three checkboxes labeled Frozen, Refrigerate, and Room Temp on the exterior bag face. Collection staff check the appropriate box at the time of collection or bagging to communicate the specimen’s required transport temperature to the courier and laboratory receiving staff. This eliminates the need for separate temperature requirement labels and ensures handling instructions are physically attached to the specimen from collection through lab receipt. Proper temperature maintenance during courier transport is a pre-analytical variable that directly affects test result validity for temperature-sensitive analytes.
