LK Packaging 7 x 4 x 15 0.5 Mil Wet Pack Grocery Bag #12 – H-12

LK Packaging H-12 Wet Pack Grocery Bag #12 — 7 x 4 x 15 at 0.5 Mils

The LK Packaging H-12 is a #12 wet pack grocery bag measuring 7 inches wide by 4 inches gusset by 15 inches tall, constructed from 0.5 mil film. The wider 7-inch body and 4-inch gusset make H-12 the standard size for full heads of iceberg and romaine lettuce, full cauliflower heads, and other large round produce items that require greater lateral and gusset capacity than the #6 and #8 sizes provide. LK Packaging supplies H-12 in case quantities to grocery chains, produce distributors, and produce supply dealers nationwide.

What Are the Specifications of the H-12 Wet Pack Grocery Bag?

The H-12 measures 7 inches wide by 4 inches gusset by 15 inches tall at 0.5 mil film thickness. The 7-inch width and 4-inch gusset are specifically dimensioned to accommodate the spherical profile of full iceberg and romaine lettuce heads, which require more lateral clearance than bunched or elongated produce. At 15 inches tall, H-12 provides sufficient length for full heads to be inserted base-first with the leaf tips completely contained within the bag before closure.

What Produce Items Are Packaged in Wet Pack #12 Grocery Bags?

The #12 wet pack bag is the standard for full iceberg lettuce heads, whole romaine hearts, full cauliflower heads, Savoy cabbage, and large round produce items sold whole in grocery produce sections. Specialty food retailers use H-12 for whole head radicchio, large kohlrabi, and premium specialty cabbages. Produce distributors also use H-12 for pre-bagging whole heads at their facilities before delivery to retail, ensuring consistent presentation and moisture retention during the distribution chain.

Grocery Produce Department Full-Head Lettuce and Cauliflower Bag Standard

The H-12 is the standard wet pack bag specification for grocery produce departments pre-bagging full iceberg lettuce heads. Pre-bagging lettuce at the store level is a common practice for maintaining head presentation, reducing handling damage during self-service customer selection, and controlling shrink by limiting direct customer contact with unbaged heads. Produce packaging distributors supply H-12 alongside H-06, H-08, and H-20 as the full size ladder for produce departments that pre-bag their full range of whole head and bunched vegetables at the store level.

How Does the H-12 Wide Gusset Design Accommodate Round Produce Heads?

The 4-inch gusset of H-12 — compared to the 3 and 3.5-inch gussets of the #4, #6, and #8 bags — is specifically designed to expand the bag base enough to seat a full round lettuce or cauliflower head without forcing the head against the bag sides and creating pressure point damage. When a full iceberg head is inserted base-first into an H-12, the gusset expands to cradle the curved base profile while the 7-inch width accommodates the widest point of the head. This geometry minimizes produce contact stress throughout the display period, preserving appearance and extending perceived freshness.
