6" Heavy Duty Poly Tubing - Create Custom Bags for Industrial Applications
This 6-inch wide poly tubing in 6 mil thickness provides an efficient solution for packaging items of varying lengths without stocking multiple bag sizes. Simply cut the tubing to your required length and seal one or both ends to create custom-fit protective packaging. The heavy-duty 6 mil construction handles demanding industrial applications where puncture resistance and durability matter.

Industrial Applications
The 6 mil thickness makes this tubing ideal for heavy-duty industrial packaging. Machine shops use it for protecting oily machined parts, cutting custom lengths to fit shafts, rods, and cylindrical components. Hardware distributors package long bolts, threaded rod, and pipe fittings. Automotive operations protect exhaust components, drive shafts, and other irregular-shaped parts. The 6-inch width accommodates medium-diameter items while the 725-foot roll length provides excellent value for high-volume packaging operations.
Custom Packaging Flexibility
Poly tubing eliminates the need to inventory multiple bag sizes. Cut exactly what you need—whether 8 inches or 8 feet—and seal with a heat sealer, impulse sealer, or even staples and tape. This reduces waste and storage requirements compared to pre-made bags. The print-treated surface accepts labeling and custom printing for branded packaging or part identification.

Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between 6 mil and lighter weight poly tubing?
A: The 6 mil thickness provides heavy-duty protection—roughly 4x thicker than standard 1.5 mil tubing. Use 6 mil for sharp-edged parts, heavy components, or items requiring maximum puncture resistance during handling and shipping.
Q: How do I calculate how much tubing I need?
A: Measure your item length, add 2-4 inches for sealing on each end (4-8 inches total), then divide 725 feet by your per-item length. Example: 12" items need ~16" of tubing each, yielding roughly 540 custom bags per roll.
Q: Can I use this tubing for food packaging?
A: Yes. This tubing is made from 100% virgin LDPE and meets FDA requirements for food contact. It's suitable for bakery items, produce, frozen foods, and other food packaging applications.
