LK® 8G063012 – 6×3×12 TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Gusset Bag, 0.85 Mil | 500/CS

LK® 8G063012 – 6″×3″×12″ TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Side Gusset Bag, 0.85 Mil | 500/CS

The LK® 8G063012 is a 0.85 mil clear TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE side gusset bag measuring 6″ wide × 3″ gusset × 12″ long, sold in cases of 500. The 3″ side gusset expands the bag to a full-bodied rectangular cross-section when filled, giving standard bakery and deli portions the volume they need without overstretching the bag. TUF-R® Heavy film’s superior puncture and tear resistance handles the abrasive edges and fill pressures common in bakery and deli operations.

What advantages does the 3″ gusset provide in a 6″×12″ bakery format?

The 3″ gusset on the 8G063012 opens the bag to accommodate bread loaves, deli cuts, and produce items that would otherwise stretch or split a flat 6×12 bag. When the gusset expands, the bag holds a roughly rectangular cross-section that keeps round bread loaves from flattening and allows the heat seal at the top to close over varied fill heights without wrinkling. This format is also naturally compatible with twist-tie and heat-seal closures used across retail bakery and deli counter operations.

0.85 Mil TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Film Technical Properties

TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE at 0.85 mil provides measurably greater puncture resistance and Elmendorf tear strength than standard 0.5 mil LLDPE gusset film. The film resists fold-line fatigue at the gusset corners — a critical advantage in applications where filled bags are stacked, transported, and handled through retail distribution before opening. The film is manufactured to LK Packaging’s TUF-R® specification, ensuring consistent gauge and mechanical properties across every case.

Artisan Sourdough and Small-Batch Bakery Retail Packaging

Artisan sourdough bakeries and small-batch bread producers use the 6×3×12 gusset format as the standard retail bag for 1 lb boules and round country loaves — the 3″ gusset provides enough depth to fit the rounded base of a sourdough loaf without the bag distorting or tearing at the corners. At 12″ length, there is sufficient headspace above the loaf for a retail label or twist-tie closure with clear product visibility. Bakeries that sell direct-to-consumer at farmers markets favor this format for its clean, professional appearance on the display table.
