5" Poly Tubing 6 Mil - Heavy Duty Custom-Length Packaging by LK Packaging
This 5-inch low-density poly tubing from LK Packaging provides maximum flexibility for packaging items of varying lengths. Unlike pre-made bags, tubing allows you to cut exactly the length you need and seal one or both ends, eliminating waste and ensuring a precise fit for irregularly sized products. At 6 mil thickness, this is heavy-duty tubing built for industrial applications requiring puncture resistance and superior protection.
Specs: 5" width | 6 mil (heavy-duty) | LDPE | 5 rolls x 725 ft | FDA food-contact compliant | Treated for printing
Commercial Applications
The 5-inch width combined with 6 mil thickness makes this tubing ideal for packaging narrow industrial components, tools, and hardware that require superior protection. Machine shops use this tubing for custom-wrapping drill bits, taps, and precision instruments. Hardware distributors package threaded rod, pipe fittings, and metal components that would puncture lighter materials. Manufacturing operations create custom protective sleeves for finished parts during shipping and storage. The continuous roll format allows rapid packaging of production runs where items vary slightly in length.
Because the tubing is FDA compliant for food contact, it's also suitable for packaging specialty food items like breadsticks, grissini, candy sticks, or other narrow food products requiring custom lengths. Bakeries and confectioners can cut and seal to exact product dimensions.

Common Questions
Q: How do I seal poly tubing?
A: Poly tubing can be heat sealed using an impulse sealer or constant-heat sealer for a professional finish. For quick applications, stapling or taping works well. Heat sealing provides the most secure, moisture-tight closure.
Q: What items work well with 5-inch tubing?
A: This width accommodates items up to approximately 4.5" in diameter when laid flat, or narrower items with more protective cushioning. Common uses include dowels, rods, narrow tools, breadsticks, and bundled small parts.
Q: Is 6 mil overkill for my application?
A: 6 mil is ideal for items with sharp edges, heavy parts, or rough shipping conditions. For lighter applications like dust covers or temporary storage, consider 2-4 mil tubing to reduce cost.
