LK® 8G083015 – 8×3×15 TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Gusset Bag, 0.85 Mil | 500/CS

LK® 8G083015 – 8″×3″×15″ TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Side Gusset Bag, 0.85 Mil | 500/CS

The LK® 8G083015 is a 0.85 mil clear TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE side gusset bag measuring 8″ wide × 3″ gusset × 15″ long, sold in cases of 500. The wide 8″ face with a narrower 3″ gusset creates a flat-profile bag ideal for wide, shallow products that need display width more than bag depth. TUF-R® Heavy film provides the puncture and tear resistance needed for food and industrial applications where product weight, sharp edges, or fill density would compromise standard-gauge LLDPE.

What advantages does the 3″ gusset provide in a wide 8″×15″ format?

The 3″ gusset on the 8G083015 expands the bag enough to accommodate a range of wide products without making the bag so deep that it loses the flat, wide profile that makes this format ideal for display and stacking. Wide-face gusset bags lay more naturally flat on shelves and in display cases than square-gusset formats, making them preferred in retail settings where product orientation and product visibility through the bag face influence purchasing. The 15″ length adds adequate headspace above wide fills for a clean top seal.

0.85 Mil TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE Film Technical Properties

TUF-R® Heavy LLDPE at 0.85 mil delivers substantially greater puncture resistance and Elmendorf tear strength than standard 0.5 mil LLDPE gusset film. For a wide 8″ bag under protein or produce fill weight, the additional gauge provides meaningful protection against the bottom-seal stress that standard film shows on wide formats with heavier fill weights. The film is manufactured to consistent gauge across the full 8″ width, ensuring uniform performance at the gusset folds and bag seals.

Bone-In Poultry Portions and Wide-Format Protein Packaging for Food Service

Food service operators and protein distributors use the 8×3×15 wide gusset format for bone-in chicken pieces, split breast portions, and other wide poultry cuts that don’t fit cleanly into narrower bags. The 8″ face provides full-width coverage across large bone-in cuts without folding or bunching, and the 0.85 mil film resists puncture from exposed bone ends — a common failure point with standard 0.5 mil LLDPE in poultry packaging. The 3″ gusset accommodates the depth of the cut without over-bagging, keeping the package profile clean for display-case and walk-in cooler storage.
