Why Use Poly Tubing?
Poly tubing eliminates the need to stock dozens of bag SKUs. With one roll of tubing, you create bags of any length to fit your exact product dimensions. This approach reduces inventory complexity, minimizes waste from oversized bags, and speeds up packaging operations. The 3 mil thickness provides substantial puncture resistance for heavier or sharper items that would tear through lighter films.
Commercial Applications
The 5-inch width serves a versatile range of packaging needs across multiple industries:
- Manufacturing: Package machined parts, fastener assortments, electrical components, and assembly kits in custom-fit lengths
- Food Service: Create food-safe packaging for baguettes, breadsticks, rolled sandwiches, and elongated baked goods—FDA compliant for direct food contact
- Retail & E-commerce: Wrap rolled posters, calendars, documents, and cylindrical merchandise with exact-fit protection
- Hardware & Industrial: Package pipe fittings, dowel rods, long fasteners, and plumbing supplies with heavy-duty protection
- Fulfillment Operations: Consolidate multiple items into one sealed package for kitting and bundling applications

Common Questions
Q: What items fit in 5-inch poly tubing?
A: When laid flat, 5" tubing accommodates items up to approximately 3" in diameter or 4.5" in flat width. Common uses include rolled documents, baguettes, hardware assortments, dowels, and cylindrical parts.
Q: How do I seal poly tubing?
A: Heat sealers provide the cleanest, most secure closure—impulse sealers work well with 3 mil LDPE. For faster operations, stapling or taping works fine for non-food applications.
