Commercial Applications
The 18-inch width handles mid-to-large format items that standard stock bags cannot accommodate. Manufacturing facilities use this tubing for packaging machinery parts, automotive components, and assembled units of varying lengths. Furniture distributors protect chair legs, table components, and irregular shapes without inventory management headaches. Food processors create custom-length bags for bread loaves, sub rolls, and elongated baked goods—the FDA-compliant virgin LDPE is safe for direct food contact. E-commerce operations benefit when product dimensions vary widely, eliminating the need to stock dozens of bag sizes.

Common Questions
Q: What finished bag size does 18" tubing create?
A: The 18" measurement is the lay-flat width. When opened, it creates a tube approximately 11" in circumference. Items up to roughly 10-11" wide (allowing seal area) fit comfortably. Length is unlimited—cut to any size needed.
Q: How do I seal poly tubing?
A: Heat sealers work best for a permanent, professional seal. You can also use impulse sealers, tape, or staples. For food applications, heat sealing provides the cleanest, most hygienic closure.
Q: Is 6 mil thickness necessary for my application?
A: 6 mil is heavy-duty—ideal for sharp parts, industrial components, or items that need extra protection. For lighter applications like dust covers or temporary storage, consider 2-4 mil tubing instead.
