Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between 2 mil and 4 mil poly tubing?
A: 4 mil tubing is twice as thick as 2 mil, providing significantly better puncture and tear resistance. Choose 4 mil for heavy parts, sharp-edged items, or applications where durability is critical. Use 2 mil for lighter items where cost savings matter more.
Q: How do I seal poly tubing into bags?
A: Cut the tubing to your desired length, then seal one or both ends. Heat sealing with an impulse sealer creates the strongest, cleanest seal. You can also use staples, tape, or twist ties depending on your application requirements.
Q: What equipment do I need to dispense tubing from the roll?
A: The roll features a 3-inch core and 12-inch outer diameter, compatible with standard poly tubing dispensers and cutter stands. Many operations simply mount the roll horizontally on a rod and pull tubing manually.
