16" Poly Tubing by LK Packaging - Create Custom-Length Protective Packaging
This 16-inch wide poly tubing from LK Packaging gives you complete control over bag length for packaging irregularly sized or oversized items. Simply cut the tubing to your required length and seal one or both ends to create perfectly sized protective bags. At 3 mil thickness, this tubing provides heavy-duty protection suitable for industrial parts, rolled goods, textiles, and larger items that don't fit standard bag sizes.
Specs: 16" wide | 3 mil | LDPE | 1,450 ft/roll | 12" diameter roll (3" core) | FDA food-contact compliant
Commercial Applications
The 16-inch width serves operations packaging medium to large items requiring custom-length containment. Manufacturing facilities use this tubing for wrapping machine parts, extruded components, and production runs with varying lengths. Distribution centers create custom bags for rolled posters, blueprints, and architectural drawings. Textile operations package fabric bolts, rolled carpets, and long garment items. The 3 mil thickness handles industrial parts with moderate edges or weight without puncturing.
The print-treated surface accepts flexographic inks, enabling custom branding or labeling directly on the tubing. This makes it ideal for private-label packaging programs or operations requiring lot codes and handling instructions printed on the packaging itself.

Common Questions
Q: How many bags can I make from one 1450-foot roll?
A: Depends on your bag length. For 24-inch bags, you'll get approximately 725 bags per roll. For 36-inch bags, approximately 483 bags. Calculate by dividing 1,450 feet (17,400 inches) by your desired bag length in inches.
Q: What equipment do I need to seal poly tubing?
A: A standard impulse heat sealer works for most applications. For high-volume operations, a constant-heat band sealer or automated bag maker increases throughput. The tubing can also be closed with tape, staples, or twist ties for non-sealed applications.
Q: Can I print on this tubing with my existing equipment?
A: The tubing is treated on one side to accept flexographic printing inks. For small runs, thermal transfer labels adhere well to the treated surface. For large custom-printed runs, contact us about pre-printed tubing options.
