How Poly Tubing Works
Poly tubing arrives as a continuous flattened tube on a roll. You simply pull out the length you need, cut it, and seal one or both ends using a heat sealer, impulse sealer, or even tape or staples. This approach eliminates the need to stock dozens of bag sizes—with one roll of tubing, you can create any bag length from a few inches to several feet. For packaging operations with variable product lengths, tubing dramatically reduces SKU counts and inventory costs.
Commercial Applications
The 10-inch width accommodates products up to approximately 9 inches in diameter when laid flat. At 4 mil, this heavy-duty tubing excels in demanding applications:
- Industrial parts packaging: Metal components, automotive parts, hardware kits, and machine components
- Long or irregular items: Pipes, rods, handles, lumber trim, and building materials
- Bundling and kitting: Grouping multiple items in a single protective package
- Furniture components: Chair legs, table hardware, disassembled fixtures
- Food service: Baguettes, breadsticks, long produce—FDA compliant for direct food contact
- Retail and fulfillment: Custom packaging for e-commerce items of varying dimensions

Thickness Guide: When to Use 4 Mil
The 4 mil thickness is considered heavy-duty and appropriate for:
- Industrial parts with sharp edges or burrs
- Items over 5 pounds requiring puncture resistance
- Long-term storage requiring durability
- Products with rough or abrasive surfaces
- Shipping applications where bags face handling stress
For lighter-duty applications like dust covers or temporary protection, consider 2 mil tubing. For extreme conditions or very sharp items, 6 mil provides maximum protection.
Common Questions
Q: How many bags can I make from one roll of 10" poly tubing?
A: It depends on your cut length. At 1,075 feet per roll, you can produce approximately 1,075 one-foot bags, 537 two-foot bags, or 215 five-foot bags—plus waste from end seals.
Q: What equipment do I need to seal poly tubing?
A: An impulse sealer is most common—units start around $50 for light use. For higher volume, consider a constant-heat band sealer. You can also use tape or staples for non-sealed closures.
Q: Is this tubing food safe?
A: Yes. This tubing is made from 100% virgin low-density polyethylene and meets FDA requirements for direct food contact. Use it for baguettes, breadsticks, produce, or any food packaging application.
