How Poly Tubing Works
Poly tubing arrives as a continuous flattened tube on a roll. To create a custom bag, simply cut the tubing to your desired length plus sealing allowance, then seal one end with a heat sealer, impulse sealer, or bag sealing tape. Insert your product and seal the opposite end. This approach eliminates the need to stock multiple bag sizes—one roll handles products of varying lengths up to 3 inches wide (1.5" radius when filled with a round item, or flat items up to 3" wide).
Commercial Applications
The 3" width serves numerous commercial packaging needs. Hardware distributors use this size for screws, bolts, fasteners, and small metal parts. Industrial operations package dowels, rods, tubing, and narrow components. Craft and hobby suppliers wrap pencils, brushes, and small tools. Food service operations use poly tubing for breadsticks, candy sticks, and elongated confections. The 3 mil thickness provides adequate puncture resistance for items with moderate edges while maintaining flexibility and clarity.

Thickness Selection Guide
The 3 mil thickness represents a mid-weight option in the poly tubing range. For lightweight dust protection or temporary bundling, consider 2 mil tubing. For heavy-duty industrial parts with sharp edges or significant weight, 4 mil or 6 mil tubing provides additional puncture and tear resistance. The 3 mil option balances protection, flexibility, and economy for most general-purpose commercial applications.
Food Packaging Compliance
This poly tubing is manufactured from FDA compliant materials suitable for direct food contact. The virgin LDPE resin contains no recycled content, ensuring purity for food packaging applications. Bakeries, confectioners, and food processors use poly tubing for packaging elongated food items where custom lengths are required.
