Specs: 15" wide x 1075 ft | 4 mil | Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) | 12" diameter roll (3" core) | FDA food-contact compliant | Print-treated surface
Commercial Applications
Heavy-duty 4 mil poly tubing serves operations that need robust custom packaging without maintaining inventory of multiple bag sizes. Manufacturing facilities use this tubing for protecting long components like metal rods, pipe fittings, and extruded parts during storage and shipping. Distribution centers create custom bags for odd-shaped items that don't fit standard poly bag sizes. Furniture manufacturers wrap table legs, chair components, and hardware sets. Industrial suppliers package tools, blades, and cutting implements that would puncture thinner films.
The 15-inch width accommodates medium to large diameter items while the 4 mil thickness provides excellent puncture and tear resistance. Food processors also use this tubing for packaging elongated products like sausage links, cheese logs, or bundled produce—the FDA-compliant virgin LDPE makes it suitable for direct food contact.

Understanding Poly Tubing Thickness
Poly tubing is measured in mils (thousandths of an inch). This 4 mil tubing is considered heavy-duty and appropriate for:
- 2 mil: Light-duty, general purpose packaging
- 3 mil: Medium-duty, small parts and hardware
- 4 mil (this product): Heavy-duty, industrial parts, sharp edges, heavy items
- 6 mil: Extra heavy-duty, extreme protection needs
Common Questions
Q: What equipment do I need to use poly tubing?
A: At minimum, you need scissors or a cutting blade and tape or staples. For professional operations, a tabletop impulse sealer creates clean, airtight seals. Simply cut the tubing to length, seal one end, insert your product, then seal the other end.
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. It's suitable for packaging food products of varying lengths.
Q: Can I print on this poly tubing?
A: Yes. One side of this tubing is treated to accept printing inks, allowing for custom branding, product identification, or warning labels using flexographic or similar printing methods.
