FAQs

What is polylight™ layflat tubing?

Polylight™ layflat tubing is a continuous tube of polythene film supplied on a roll. It can be cut to the length you need and sealed at one or both ends to create custom-sized packaging or sleeves for items of various shapes and lengths.

What is layflat tubing used for?

It’s ideal for packaging long, bulky, or irregularly shaped products, for example, items like pipes, poles, textiles, furniture parts, and other goods where standard bags don’t fit efficiently.

How do I seal layflat tubing?

Layflat tubing can be sealed using heat sealers, cable ties, tape, staples or other closing methods, depending on the level of strength or protection you need.

How do I choose the right width and thickness?

Choose the tubing width based on the widest part of the item you’re packing (allowing some room for clearance), and the thickness based on how heavy, sharp, or abrasive the item is. Thicker tubing offers more durability and protection.

Can layflat tubing be printed?

Yes, it can be printed with branding, product information or handling instructions (we offer up to 8 colours of print on layflat tubing).

Can I make bags from layflat tubing?

Yes, by cutting the tubing to the desired length and sealing both ends, you essentially create a bespoke polythene bag suited to your item’s size.

Does layflat tubing protect against dust and moisture?

Yes, polythene tubing offers a protective barrier that helps keep dust, dirt, and moisture away from the product inside.
