Commercial Applications
Operations that handle items of varying lengths benefit most from poly tubing. Hardware distributors use 5" tubing for packaging bolts, screws, and fastener kits in custom quantities. Manufacturing facilities create protective sleeves for machined parts, dowels, and cylindrical components. Food processors package breadsticks, pretzel rods, candy bars, and other elongated products at exact lengths. The tubing accepts printing ink on the treated side, making it suitable for private label and branded packaging applications.

Common Questions
Q: How do I seal poly tubing into bags?
A: Use a heat sealer (impulse or constant heat) to seal one or both ends. For temporary closure, staples or tape work well. Most operations seal one end to create a bag, insert the product, then seal the top.
Q: Is this tubing food safe?
A: Yes, this tubing is made from 100% virgin LDPE and meets FDA requirements for food contact. It's commonly used for breadsticks, pretzels, candy, and other food packaging.
Q: What size items fit in 5" tubing?
A: The tubing lays flat at 5" wide, creating a tube with approximately 3" diameter when opened. Items up to about 2.5" in diameter fit comfortably with room for sealing.
