Common Questions
Q: What equipment do I need to seal poly tubing?
A: A standard impulse heat sealer works for most applications. For high-volume operations, consider a foot-operated or automatic band sealer. Tubing can also be closed with staples or tape for non-food applications.
Q: How do I calculate how many bags I can make from one roll?
A: Divide 2150 feet by your desired bag length (in feet). For example, 2-foot bags yield approximately 1,075 bags per roll. Add 0.5-1 inch per bag for seal area.
Q: Can I print directly on this tubing?
A: Yes—one side is corona treated to accept flexographic and other printing inks. This allows for custom printing, labeling, or branding before cutting and sealing.
