This 3-inch wide poly tubing lets you create perfectly sized bags for any narrow item without stocking multiple bag SKUs. Simply unroll, cut to length, and heat seal one or both ends. Ideal for packaging elongated products like dowels, art supplies, incense sticks, slim hardware, or rolled documents where standard bag sizes don't fit.
Specs: 3" lay-flat width | 3 mil thickness | LDPE (low density polyethylene) | 1,450 ft/roll | 12" diameter roll, 3" core | FDA food-contact compliant
Commercial Applications
Manufacturing and fulfillment operations use 3" poly tubing to package narrow items that don't fit standard bag dimensions. Hardware distributors sleeve dowel rods, threaded rods, and long fasteners. Art supply companies package paintbrushes, markers, and charcoal sticks. Craft businesses protect knitting needles, crochet hooks, and weaving supplies. Food operations use it for breadsticks, grissini, or specialty candy items. The 3 mil thickness provides puncture resistance for items with pointed ends.

Common Questions
Q: What equipment do I need to use poly tubing?
A: A basic impulse sealer (heat sealer) handles most applications. You can also close bags with staples, tape, or twist ties depending on your operation. Any sharp blade or scissors cuts the tubing cleanly.
Q: How many bags can I make from a 1,450 ft roll?
A: It depends on your bag length. For 6" bags, approximately 2,900 bags. For 12" bags, approximately 1,450 bags. For 24" bags, approximately 725 bags. Add sealing allowance to your calculation.
Q: Can I print on this tubing?
A: Yes, one side is corona-treated to accept flexographic or screen printing inks. This allows custom branding or product identification directly on the packaging.
