Common Questions
Q: How do I seal poly tubing into bags?
A: Use a heat sealer (impulse or constant heat) for the cleanest closure. You can also fold and staple, or fold and tape the ends. Heat sealing provides the most secure, tamper-evident closure.
Q: Is this tubing food safe?
A: Yes. This tubing is made from 100% virgin low-density polyethylene and meets FDA requirements for food contact. It's suitable for packaging baked goods, produce, and other food items when properly sealed.
Q: What thickness should I choose for heavy items?
A: This 2 mil tubing handles most general-purpose applications. For sharp edges or heavy industrial parts, consider stepping up to 3 or 4 mil tubing for added puncture resistance.
