How Poly Tubing Works
Poly tubing arrives as a continuous flattened tube on a roll. Cut it to whatever length you need, then seal one or both ends using a heat sealer, impulse sealer, tape, or staples. This creates custom-sized bags on demand—no inventory of pre-made bag sizes required. The 12-inch lay-flat width creates finished bags approximately 12 inches wide when sealed.
Commercial Applications
The 6 mil thickness makes this tubing ideal for heavy industrial parts, sharp or pointed objects, and applications requiring superior puncture resistance. Manufacturing facilities use this grade for packaging machined components, automotive parts, and metal fabrications. Warehouses and distribution centers rely on heavy-duty tubing for protecting valuable inventory during storage and transit. The FDA-compliant virgin LDPE also makes it suitable for food processing operations packaging items of irregular or varying lengths.

Thickness Selection Guide
Poly tubing is available in multiple thicknesses. The 6 mil grade represents the extra-heavy-duty end of the spectrum:
- 1-2 mil: Light duty—dust covers, temporary protection
- 3-4 mil: Heavy duty—industrial parts, moderate sharp objects
- 6 mil: Extra heavy duty—extreme applications, maximum puncture resistance
Common Questions
Q: What equipment do I need to seal poly tubing?
A: A heat sealer or impulse sealer creates the cleanest seal. For lower-volume operations, tape or staples work as well. Most commercial heat sealers accommodate tubing up to 6 mil thickness without issue.
Q: How do I calculate how many bags I can make from one roll?
A: Divide 725 feet by your desired bag length (in feet). For example, 12-inch bags (1 foot each) yield approximately 725 bags per roll. Add a small allowance for sealing margins.
Q: Is this tubing food safe?
A: Yes. This tubing is manufactured from 100% virgin low density polyethylene and meets FDA requirements for direct food contact applications.
