Commercial Applications
Poly tubing excels in operations where standard bag sizes fall short. Manufacturing facilities use 18" tubing to wrap long parts, bundled components, and assembled products of varying lengths. Distribution centers create custom sleeves for posters, prints, rolled documents, and cylindrical items. Food processors package baguettes, breadsticks, and elongated baked goods with quick heat-sealed closures. The 18-inch width accommodates larger items including textile rolls, carpet samples, and industrial components that need protective covering during storage or transit.

Common Questions
Q: How do I seal poly tubing into bags?
A: Use a heat sealer (impulse or constant heat) to create sealed edges. For light-duty applications, tubing can also be stapled or taped closed. Most operations use an impulse sealer for clean, professional seals.
Q: What items work well with 18" poly tubing?
A: The 18" width (lay-flat) accommodates items up to roughly 11" in diameter when formed into a sleeve. Common uses include rolled posters, textile bolts, long industrial parts, bundled items, and food products like bread loaves or baguettes.
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 branding, product information, or handling instructions directly on your packaging.
