Common Questions
Q: How do I calculate how many bags I can make from one roll?
A: Divide 1,075 feet by your desired bag length. For example, 18" (1.5 ft) bags yield approximately 716 bags per roll. Add 1-2" per bag for seal allowance.
Q: What's the difference between poly tubing and flat poly bags?
A: Tubing is continuous film sealed on two sides - you cut and seal the ends yourself. This allows unlimited length flexibility. Flat bags come pre-cut and sealed on three sides. Tubing is more economical when you need custom lengths or variable sizes.
Q: What equipment do I need to seal poly tubing?
A: A standard impulse heat sealer works best for permanent seals. For temporary closure, packing tape or staples work fine. No special equipment required.
