The 4 mil thickness provides superior puncture resistance for industrial parts, hardware, and sharp-edged materials.

Ideal for operations packaging products of varying lengths without maintaining multiple bag size inventories.

Commercial & Industrial Applications
The 3-inch width accommodates a range of narrow items requiring full-length protection. Metal fabrication shops use this tubing for rod stock, pipes, and machined parts. Hardware distributors package dowels, threaded rods, and drawer slides. Craft suppliers protect knitting needles, paint brushes, and artist tools. The 4 mil thickness handles sharp edges and pointed ends that would puncture lighter films.

Common Questions
Q: What diameter items fit in 3-inch poly tubing?
A: The 3-inch measurement is the lay-flat width. When opened, this tubing accommodates items up to approximately 1.75-2 inches in diameter with slight compression, or narrower items with clearance for cushioning.
Q: What's the difference between 4 mil and 2 mil poly tubing?
A: 4 mil tubing is twice as thick, providing significantly better puncture resistance for sharp, pointed, or heavy items. Use 2 mil for light-duty dust protection; choose 4 mil for metal parts, hardware, tools, and anything with edges that might poke through thinner film.
Q: Can I print on this tubing?
A: Yes. LK Packaging treats one side of this tubing to accept printing inks. Contact us about custom-printed tubing for branded packaging needs.
