LK® 9F0918 – 9×18 TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE Flat Bag, 2.75 Mil | 500/CS

LK® 9F0918 – 9×18 TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE Flat Bag, 2.75 Mil | 500/CS

The LK® 9F0918 is a 2.75 mil clear LLDPE flat bag measuring 9″ × 18″, sold in cases of 500 from NFC Bags. TUF-R® Extra Heavy is LK Packaging’s maximum-gauge flat-bag LLDPE film line, delivering outstanding puncture resistance and load-bearing capacity for demanding food service, industrial, and institutional packaging applications. The open-top design accepts heat, impulse, or twist-tie closure and is compatible with standard in-line packaging equipment.

What packaging applications match the 9×18 format in extra-heavy poly bags?

The 9″ × 18″ is a long, wide format that handles products with significant length and moderate girth. Full roasts, pork loins, and large poultry cuts fit this format with room for proper sealing. Long artisan breads, specialty baked items, and institutional-portion food bags also align with this footprint. Industrial uses include pipe fittings, elongated components, and assembly kits that extend beyond 15 inches in length. At 500 bags per case, this size is sized for operations with moderate daily throughput on this larger format.

2.75 Mil TUF-R® Extra Heavy LLDPE Film: Maximum-Gauge Puncture Resistance

At 2.75 mil, TUF-R® Extra Heavy film is the thickest flat-bag LLDPE specification in LK Packaging’s TUF-R® lineup. This gauge is specified when bag contents are dense, sharp-edged, or subjected to high cumulative handling stress — and when the long bag format must maintain seal integrity under the weight of tall contents during filling and transport. The film maintains optical clarity and flexibility at full gauge and seals cleanly on heat and impulse sealing equipment.

Meat Counter and Full-Cut Portion Packaging in TUF-R® Extra Heavy 9×18

Butcher shops, grocery meat departments, and food service distributors that portion whole pork loins, briskets, and full beef roasts need a bag wide enough for girth and long enough to enclose the full cut without cinching. The LK® 9F0918 provides 9 inches of face width and 18 inches of depth — sufficient for most primal and sub-primal cuts that fall in the 4–7 lb range. The 2.75 mil Extra Heavy film handles the sharp bone protrusions and rough surface textures of these cuts without puncturing, maintaining food safety and presentation throughout refrigerated distribution. Cases of 500 provide a practical stock quantity for a high-volume meat counter operation.
