Clear Poly Tubing - Shop by Size/Width

Poly tubing is a continuous, seamless plastic sleeve on a roll that is open at both ends, so you cut it to any length and seal one or both ends to make a custom-size bag. Prism Pak's clear low density poly tubing is made from 100% virgin FDA compliant polyethylene and ships on 12" diameter rolls with 3" cores for easy dispensing.

Measure your product at its widest point and add 1 to 2 inches so the tubing slips on without stretching. Round or bulky items need their full diameter plus clearance, and heat sealing consumes roughly 1" of finished length, so add that to your cut length. Shop the width you need from the list on this page.
