Poly Tubing

Poly Tubing for Custom-Length Packaging

Not every item a business packs comes in a standard size. Long extrusions, variable-length components, awkward assemblies and mixed batches all sit awkwardly in a fixed-size bag, either swimming in excess film or not fitting at all. Poly tubing solves that by letting the packer make the bag to fit the product. It is a continuous polyethylene sleeve on a roll that you cut to length and seal, so one roll replaces a whole rack of pre-made bag sizes.

Premium Packaging supplies poly tubing in a wide spread of layflat widths and gauges, on bulk 10kg and 25kg rolls, delivered Australia-wide from our Sydney base to manufacturers, warehouses and dispatch operations.

Specifications

Our poly tubing is made from polyethylene film for clarity and strength, supplied by the roll so you cut only the length each job needs.

• Layflat width: from 100mm up to 1000mm, covering small components through to long or bulky items.
• Gauge: from 50 micron for light general use up to 200 micron for heavier or sharper contents that need a tougher wall.
• Roll format: supplied on 10kg rolls in the narrower widths and 25kg rolls in the wider widths, giving a long run of film per roll for high-volume lines.
• Closure: cut to length and seal with an impulse or heat sealer, or staple the ends where a formal seal is not required.
• Custom: other widths and gauges can be supplied on request where a stock size does not fit your product.

Why Businesses Use Poly Tubing

• One roll, any length. Cut each bag to the exact size of the product instead of holding dozens of fixed bag sizes.
• Less film waste. You use only the length each item needs, which cuts both material cost and offcuts compared with oversized pre-made bags.
• Fits long and awkward items. Profiles, rods, rails and lengths of timber or plastic that no standard bag suits are simple to sleeve in tubing.
• Barrier protection. Once sealed, the film keeps dust, dirt and light moisture off the product through storage and transit.
• Simpler stockholding. A few rolls replace a large range of bag sizes, which reduces the number of packaging lines you reorder and manage.

Where Poly Tubing Is Used

Poly tubing is a standard consumable wherever product sizes vary or custom bagging is a regular task, including:

• Manufacturing, for sleeving extrusions, profiles, rods and lengths of timber or plastic
• Assembly and kitting, for bagging sub-components and parts before storage or dispatch
• Warehousing and 3PL, for protective covering and re-packing of variable-length stock
• Operations packing irregular shapes where a box wastes space but tubing conforms to the item
• Any line that would otherwise hold many bag sizes and wants to consolidate to a few rolls

Matching the Tubing to the Job

Two figures decide whether the tubing performs on your bench.

• Layflat width: match the width to the product so it slides in without forcing, and without leaving loose film that creases or wastes material.
• Gauge: light items are fine in 50 to 75 micron film, while heavy, dense or sharp-edged goods need 100 micron or heavier to resist splitting.
• Sealing: decide the closure method before ordering, since an impulse sealer gives a clean, secure seal for dispatch while stapling suits quick internal grouping.

Part of Your Wider Packaging Supply

Poly tubing works alongside the rest of a dispatch line’s consumables. Where a fixed size does the job, pre-made plain poly bags are faster off the bench, and for lining cartons against moisture and contamination, carton liners handle the larger format. For food and produce lines that need bagging on a roll, produce rolls are the matched option. Browse the full plastic packaging range to source films, bags and liners from one supplier with Australia-wide delivery.

Order Poly Tubing for Your Business

Choose the layflat width and gauge that suit your product sizes, and set poly tubing up as a recurring line so supply stays consistent across your sites. If you are not sure which width, gauge or sealing method fits your operation, our packaging specialists can recommend a specification and arrange bulk or repeat supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is poly tubing used for?

Poly tubing is a continuous polyethylene sleeve on a roll that you cut to length and seal to make a bag of any size. It suits long, variable-length or awkward items that do not fit standard pre-made bags.

What is the difference between poly tubing and poly bags?

Poly bags come in fixed sizes ready to use, while poly tubing is cut to the length each product needs. Tubing suits variable or long items and lets a few rolls replace many bag sizes.

What width and gauge poly tubing should I use?

Match the layflat width to your product so it slides in without excess film, and choose the gauge to suit the weight. Light items suit 50 to 75 micron, while heavy or sharp-edged goods need 100 micron or heavier.

How is poly tubing sealed?

Cut the tube to length and seal the ends with an impulse or heat sealer for a secure closure, or staple the ends for quick internal grouping. The method depends on your process and volume.

Can I order poly tubing in bulk?

Yes. Poly tubing is supplied on bulk 10kg and 25kg rolls, with custom widths and gauges available on request. Recurring supply can be arranged for regular reorders, delivered Australia-wide.
