Commercial Applications
The 8-inch width handles a wide range of products that require custom-length protection. Manufacturing facilities use this tubing for packaging rods, pipes, dowels, and tubular components of varying lengths. Retail operations create custom bags for rolled posters, prints, and artwork. Furniture manufacturers protect chair legs, table parts, and hardware during shipping. Food processors package breadsticks, baguettes, and elongated baked goods by cutting to exact length and heat sealing. The 100% virgin LDPE construction meets FDA requirements for direct food contact.
How to Use Poly Tubing
Pull tubing from the roll and cut to your desired length using scissors, a blade, or a tubing dispenser. Insert your product and seal one or both ends using a heat sealer, impulse sealer, or bag sealing tape. For faster production, seal one end first, insert product, then seal the other end. The material also accepts staples or tape closures for non-critical applications.

Common Questions
Q: What's the actual usable width when I seal the tubing?
A: The 8" measurement is lay-flat width. When opened into a tube, the circumference is 16", giving approximately 5" of interior diameter. Items up to 4.5" wide fit comfortably with room for sealing.
Q: Can I use this tubing with food products?
A: Yes. This tubing is manufactured from 100% virgin low density polyethylene and meets FDA requirements for direct food contact. Ideal for bakery items, produce, and packaged foods.
Q: What type of sealer works best with 2 mil poly tubing?
A: Standard impulse sealers (8" or wider jaw) work well with 2 mil material. For high-volume operations, consider a constant heat sealer or automated L-bar system.
