20" Poly Tubing 6 Mil - Heavy-Duty Custom-Length Packaging by LK Packaging
This 20-inch wide poly tubing from LK Packaging delivers heavy-duty 6 mil protection for items requiring custom-length packaging. Simply cut to your needed length and seal one or both ends to create perfectly sized bags for furniture, mattresses, large equipment, or any oversized items. The continuous roll format eliminates waste from standard bag sizing while providing superior puncture and tear resistance.
Specs: 20" width | 6 mil thickness | 725 ft/roll | LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) | 12" diameter roll (3" core) | FDA food-contact compliant
Commercial Applications
The 20-inch width combined with 6 mil thickness makes this tubing ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications. Furniture manufacturers and movers use it to protect upholstered pieces, cushions, and small mattresses during storage and transit. Manufacturing operations wrap machinery components, equipment parts, and fabricated metal pieces that require serious protection from moisture, dust, and handling damage. The print-treated surface accepts marking inks for labeling and identification directly on the package.
E-commerce fulfillment centers processing oversized items benefit from the flexible sizing—cut 30 inches for a throw pillow, 60 inches for a foam topper, or 8 feet for a rolled mattress. Automotive shops wrap exhausts, bumpers, and trim components. Agricultural operations protect feed bags and equipment from moisture during storage.

Common Questions
Q: How do I seal poly tubing into bags?
A: You have three options: heat sealing (cleanest, most secure), stapling (quick, easy removal), or tape (no equipment needed). For 6 mil tubing, a standard impulse sealer handles the thickness well. Set slightly longer seal time than lighter gauge materials.
Q: What's the difference between 6 mil and lighter poly tubing?
A: At 6 mil (0.006"), this is considered heavy-duty tubing—about 4x thicker than standard 1.5 mil. Use 6 mil for sharp-edged items, heavy parts, long-term storage, or rough handling conditions where puncture resistance matters. Lighter gauges (1.5-2 mil) work fine for dust covers and light protection.
Q: Is this tubing food safe?
A: Yes. Made from 100% virgin LDPE, this poly tubing meets FDA requirements for food contact. It's suitable for wrapping produce, baked goods, or any food item requiring custom-length packaging.
