Applications

Used by window treatment distributors, hardware suppliers, and home furnishings manufacturers for protective sleeving of curtain rods, blind assemblies, decorator poles, shower curtain rods, and long hardware components. Also applicable for flooring trim and baseboard molding protection, cabinet door handle sleeving, and general cut-to-length protective packaging of long narrow items in distribution operations.

Features

• 12 in. lay-flat width — expands to approximately 7.6 in. inside diameter for rods and poles
• 1.5 mil gauge — standard light weight for smooth, non-abrasive products like curtain rods and window hardware
• 4000 ft per roll — large bulk format for high-volume production dispensing
• Wound on a 3 in. core with 1 in. diameter core plug for roll payout systems
• High-clarity LDPE for product identification through the sleeve
• FDA/USDA compliant virgin LDPE resin
• Heat-sealable ends; also compatible with tape, staple, or tie closure

Material Notes

Manufactured from 100% virgin LDPE resin to exact wall thickness specification for uniform coverage along long profiles. LDPE flexibility allows the tubing to conform tightly around irregular cross-sections and handle bend radii without cracking. The 1.5 mil gauge is appropriate for smooth, lightweight products such as curtain rods and narrow hardware. For rough-surfaced or heavy items, a heavier gauge is recommended. All gauges are nominal.

Use Case Notes

The 12 in. lay-flat dimension expands to approximately 7.6 in. inside diameter — calculated as (12 in. × 2) ÷ π. This accommodates curtain rods up to approximately 6–7 in. diameter (most decorator poles and standard rods are under 4 in. diameter, leaving ample room for easy sleeving). The 4000 ft roll provides substantial cut-to-length yardage for production sleeving lines and automated packaging equipment.

Common Questions

Q: What is the expanded diameter of this tubing?
A: The 12 in. lay-flat width expands to approximately 7.6 in. inside diameter when fully opened. Actual diameter will vary slightly based on fill tension and wall thickness.

Q: Can this be heat sealed?
A: Yes. Both ends are heat-sealable with standard impulse or bar sealers. Tape, staple, and tie closures are also compatible.

Q: What core size is used?
A: Wound on a 3 in. core with a 1 in. core plug, compatible with most standard roll dispenser payout systems.
