LK® 8F0812 – 8×12 TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Flat Bag, 2 Mil | 1,000/CS

LK® 8F0812 — 8×12 TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Flat Bag, 2 Mil, 1,000/CS

The LK® 8F0812 is an 8-inch by 12-inch heavy-gauge LLDPE flat bag made from 2 mil TUF-R® Heavy film, packed 1,000 per case. At 2 mil, this is one of the most substantial gauges in LK’s TUF-R® Heavy flat bag line — specified where the demands of the application exceed what 1.8 mil or standard-duty film can reliably provide. The open-top flat construction accepts heat sealing, impulse sealing, or reclosure hardware for both manual and automated operations.

When Should You Choose 2 Mil Over 1.8 Mil or Standard LLDPE for an 8×12 Bag?

The 8×12 format in 2 mil is the right choice when contents are heavy, rigid, or highly abrasive — steel hardware, machined castings, multi-part tool kits, or dense food items over 2 pounds. At 2 mil, the bag provides noticeably greater stiffness than 1.8 mil, which is valuable for items that need the bag wall to hold shape during filling rather than conform loosely around the contents. The additional gauge also extends bag life in storage and warehousing applications where bags are handled repeatedly before use, reducing losses from pre-use film degradation in high-humidity or UV-exposed environments.

TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Film Properties — 2 Mil Gauge

TUF-R® Heavy 2 mil bags are produced from 100% linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) at 2.0 mil nominal gauge. The film delivers the highest puncture resistance, dart impact strength, and elongation-to-break in the TUF-R® Heavy flat bag line. LLDPE resin elongates significantly before failure, absorbing impact and distributing stress rather than splitting at puncture points. The film is optically clear, heat-sealable to a consistent airtight seam, and free of coatings, plasticizers, or barrier layers. The 2 mil specification is appropriate for applications requiring regulatory minimum gauge or formal quality specifications.

T-Shirt, Folded Garment, and Retail Apparel Packaging in the 8×12 Format

A standard adult T-shirt folded to retail presentation dimensions fits precisely in the 8×12 flat bag — this is one of the most widely used formats in direct-to-consumer apparel shipping, e-commerce fulfillment, and retail merchandising. The 2 mil TUF-R® Heavy film provides meaningful rigidity that holds the folded garment flat during shipping, preventing the presentation fold from opening inside the mailer and arriving crumpled. The heavy gauge also resists the snag and puncture risk from garment embellishments such as screen print texture, heat transfers, and embroidery that can abrade thin poly bags during automated packing. FDA-compliant LLDPE is appropriate for direct contact with textile products and meets material requirements for food-safe garment packaging used in food and apparel co-packing operations.
