How Poly Tubing Works
Poly tubing is flat film folded into a continuous tube on a roll. To use it, pull the tubing to your desired length, cut it with scissors or a dispenser blade, then seal one or both ends using a heat sealer, tape, or staples. This creates a custom-sized bag or sleeve tailored exactly to your product dimensions—no wasted material, no inventory of multiple bag sizes.
Commercial Applications
The 6-inch width accommodates a wide range of products across industries. Manufacturing operations use this tubing for packaging metal rods, pipes, dowels, and long components that vary in length. Retail and e-commerce fulfillment centers create custom bags for posters, rolled prints, and calendars. Food service operations package baguettes, breadsticks, and other long baked goods—the FDA-compliant virgin LDPE ensures safe food contact. Hardware distributors protect threaded rods, conduit, and plumbing supplies. The 4 mil thickness handles sharp edges and heavy items without tearing.

Common Questions
Q: What's the maximum item diameter that fits in 6" tubing?
A: Flat width is 6 inches, which creates approximately 3.8" diameter when opened as a tube. Items up to 3.5" diameter fit comfortably with room for sealing.
Q: What equipment do I need to seal poly tubing?
A: A basic impulse heat sealer works best for clean, secure seals. For lower volume, tape or staples also work. Heat sealers from 8" width and up accommodate this tubing folded flat.
