Commercial Applications
The 48-inch width accommodates large-format items across multiple industries. Furniture manufacturers and retailers use this tubing to wrap chairs, tables, dressers, and assembled furniture pieces for dust-free storage and damage-free shipping. Mattress distributors cut custom lengths for twin through queen-size mattresses and box springs. Appliance dealers protect refrigerators, washers, and dryers during delivery. The continuous roll format eliminates waste from pre-made bag sizes that never quite fit.
Industrial operations rely on 48" tubing for wrapping machinery components, automotive parts, and fabricated metal pieces. Carpet and flooring distributors protect rolled goods and area rugs. The treated surface accepts printing inks for branding or handling instructions without additional surface preparation.

Common Questions
Q: What finished bag sizes can I make from 48" tubing?
A: The 48" lay-flat width creates bags with approximately 24" of usable width when opened (96" circumference). Cut any length from inches to several feet. Heat seal one end for a closed bag, or seal both ends with product inside.
Q: What equipment do I need to seal poly tubing?
A: A standard impulse sealer or constant heat sealer works for most applications. For high-volume operations, consider an automatic bag sealer with built-in cutter. Tubing can also be closed with staples or packaging tape for temporary applications.
Q: Is 2 mil thick enough for furniture protection?
A: Yes, 2 mil LDPE provides effective dust and moisture protection for most furniture and appliance applications. For items with sharp edges or heavy industrial parts, consider upgrading to 3 or 4 mil tubing.
