Commercial Applications
Poly tubing excels in operations where standard bag sizes don't fit your products. Manufacturing facilities use it for packaging long components like pipes, tubes, rods, and extrusions. Bakeries and food service operations create custom-length bags for bread loaves, baguettes, and specialty items. Hardware distributors package lumber, dowels, and trim pieces. Printing and signage companies protect posters, banners, and rolled prints. The 18-inch width accommodates medium to large diameter items while maintaining versatile cut-to-length capability.

Common Questions
Q: What equipment do I need to seal poly tubing?
A: A standard impulse heat sealer works best for permanent closures. For temporary or reusable closures, use staples, tape, or twist ties. The 18" width requires a sealer with at least 18" seal bar capacity.
Q: How do I calculate how many bags I can make from one roll?
A: Divide the roll length (2,900 ft or 34,800 inches) by your cut length plus allowance for seals. Example: 12" bags with 1" seal allowance = 13" per bag, yielding approximately 2,676 bags per roll.
Q: Is this tubing food safe?
A: Yes. This tubing is manufactured from 100% virgin low density polyethylene and meets FDA requirements for food contact applications.
