Commercial Applications
Heavy-duty 4 mil tubing serves demanding industrial and commercial packaging needs. Hardware distributors use this width for packaging long fasteners, threaded rods, and precision components that require extra puncture resistance. Manufacturing operations seal custom lengths around tools, dowels, and machined parts for inventory organization. Food service and specialty retailers package items like breadsticks, pretzel rods, biscotti, and specialty confections in cut-to-fit lengths. The printable surface accepts flexographic inks for branded or labeled packaging applications.

Common Questions
Q: What diameter items fit in 2.5" poly tubing?
A: The 2.5" lay-flat width opens to approximately 1.5" diameter when filled. This accommodates items like markers, cigars, test tubes, small flashlights, or bundled fasteners up to about 1.25" diameter with slight clearance.
Q: How do I seal poly tubing?
A: LDPE tubing seals easily with an impulse heat sealer. You can also use bag tape, staples, or twist ties depending on your application. For professional packaging, heat sealing provides the cleanest, most secure closure.
Q: What's the difference between 4 mil and 2 mil tubing?
A: 4 mil tubing is twice as thick, providing superior puncture resistance for sharp or heavy items. Use 4 mil for hardware, industrial parts, or items with edges. 2 mil works well for lighter items where cost savings matter more than durability.
