6G084018 – 8″×4″×18″ Clear TUF-R® LLDPE Side Gusset Bags | 1000/CS

6G084018 — 8″×4″×18″ Clear TUF-R® LLDPE Side Gusset Bag, 0.6 Mil, 1,000/CS

The LK® 6G084018 is an 8-inch wide, 4-inch side gusset, 18-inch long clear poly bag made from 0.6 mil TUF-R® LLDPE film. The 4-inch gusset — deeper than the 3-inch found in other 6G formats — expands the bag’s cross-section to accommodate oversized round heads, large bundles, and bulky items that a narrower gusset would compress or fail to contain cleanly. At 18 inches long with an 8-inch flat width, this is one of the highest-capacity standard formats in the 6G series. TUF-R® Linear Low-Density Polyethylene outperforms standard LDPE at equivalent gauge for puncture resistance, load carrying, and tear strength. FDA compliant for direct food contact. 1,000 bags per case, packed in dispenser packs of 100.

What Products Require the 8″×4″×18″ Large-Format Gusset Bag?

The 4-inch gusset at 8-inch width is sized for oversized produce and food items: full iceberg lettuce heads and large green cabbage, oversized broccoli and cauliflower crowns, large kale and collard green bunches, tall mixed floral arrangements and event bouquets, bulk self-serve retail produce display bags, full bakery loaves and multi-unit bun packs, and institutional portioning of large fresh items. At 18 inches long, this format provides generous depth for items up to 16 inches in their longest dimension — covering the largest standard produce items found in grocery and wholesale club produce departments.

How TUF-R® LLDPE Performs Under Maximum Load

At the 8-inch wide, 4-inch gusset format, bags carry the most weight and distribute stress across the largest film area in the 6G series. LLDPE’s linear polymer structure provides significantly better elongation-at-break and puncture resistance than conventional LDPE — critical at this size where gusset folds experience maximum stress during fill and transit. Seamless tubing construction eliminates weld seams, removing the primary failure initiation point in large-format loaded bags. TUF-R® film handles the corner and fold stress of this wide, deep format reliably at 0.6 mil where standard LDPE would require heavier gauge to perform equivalently.

What the 4-Inch Gusset Adds Over Standard 3-Inch Gusset Bags

The difference between a 3-inch and 4-inch gusset is measurable in usable cross-section: a 3-inch gusset adds 6 inches of circumference; a 4-inch gusset adds 8 inches. At 8 inches flat width, that extra 2 inches of gusset expands the open bag from a 22-inch to a 24-inch circumference. For items like full iceberg heads or large cauli crowns that measure 7–8 inches in diameter, the deeper gusset is not marginal — it’s the difference between a bag that closes cleanly and one that bunches and tears at the corners. Buyers sourcing large-format produce bags typically specify a 4-inch gusset minimum precisely to avoid this failure mode in high-throughput packing environments.

Food Safety and Regulatory Compliance

Made from virgin LLDPE with no recycled content, colorants, or chemical additives. Meets FDA food contact regulations for direct-contact packaging of all fresh, frozen, and processed food categories. Acceptable for organic produce labeling programs requiring food-safe, additive-free packaging film. Recyclable through retail LDPE/LLDPE film drop-off and industrial polyethylene film recovery. Dispenser packs of 100 support clean single-bag dispensing in high-throughput food-service and retail environments.
