Clear poly tubing in 3" wide x 1.5 mil LDPE provides a continuous-feed, cut-to-length packaging format for floral stems, brush handles, dowels, pencils, and other narrow cylindrical products. Manufactured from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene resin meeting FDA and USDA specifications, this tubing is wound 2000 feet on a 3" core with a 1" diameter core plug for use on tubing dispensers or cut-to-length table setups. Even wall thickness across the full roll length ensures consistent seal quality at any cut point.

• 1.5 mil nominal gauge — lightweight barrier for narrow cylindrical goods


• 3" lay-flat width — approximately 1.9" open diameter, suitable for most narrow product profiles


• 2000'/roll wound on a 3" core with 1" core plug — compatible with standard tubing dispensers


• High optical clarity for product identification and retail display


• Compatible with heat sealing, tying, stapling, or tape closure

Material Notes

LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) tubing at 1.5 mil provides the flexibility needed to conform around irregular cylindrical shapes without kinking or splitting. The virgin resin formulation is FDA and USDA compliant. LDPE’s moisture resistance and food-safe chemistry make it appropriate for both food and non-food cylindrical product packaging without reformulation.

Use Case Notes

Floral operations use 3" tubing to individually sleeve cut roses, lilies, and mixed stems for wholesale and retail distribution. The sealed tube protects the stem end and retains moisture in wet-pack applications. Art and craft supply manufacturers use 3" tubing for brush handle sets, wooden skewers, and dowel rod packs. The 2000-foot roll provides extended run time on production lines before a roll change is required, supporting mid-to-high-volume pack operations.

A: Yes. Manufactured from 100% virgin LDPE resin that meets FDA and USDA specifications for direct food contact.

Q: What is the open diameter of 3" lay-flat tubing?
A: A 3" lay-flat width corresponds to approximately 1.9" open (inner) diameter. For products with a diameter wider than 1.75", consider the 4" or wider tubing size.

Q: What equipment is needed to use poly tubing rolls?
A: Poly tubing rolls can be used with manual cut-and-seal benches, semi-automatic tubing dispensers, or inline automated bag-making equipment. The 3" core is compatible with standard dispenser mandrels.
