This 8" lay-flat clear poly tubing in 1.5 mil LDPE is designed for floral stem sleeve production, bouquet wrap, and custom-cut bag applications where roll-based material offers flexibility in bag length. Wound 4,000 feet on a 3" core, it supports continuous-run operations for florists, produce packagers, and retail bundling lines.

Specs: 8" Lay-Flat Width | 1.5 mil | LDPE | 4,000 ft/Roll | 3" Core / 1" Core Plug | FDA Compliant

Applications

• Floral stem sleeve production and bouquet wrap


• Produce bundle and long-stem vegetable overwrap


• Custom-length bag cutting for retail counter use


• Narrow pipe and tubing protection (approx. 5" diameter)


• Continuous-run light-duty product sleeving

Features

• 8" lay-flat width — opens to approximately 5" effective diameter for cylindrical items


• 1.5 mil gauge — lightweight flexible film for floral and produce sleeving


• 4,000 ft per roll — extended run length minimizes roll-change downtime


• 3" core with 1" core plug — compatible with standard dispenser setups


• Even wall thickness — precision-manufactured for consistent heat sealing

Material Notes

Manufactured from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) resin to exact specification. Virgin LLDPE tubing maintains consistent wall thickness throughout the roll, ensuring even heat seals at both ends of cut bags. The 1.5 mil gauge is flexible and conforming, ideal for floral and produce applications where soft drape is preferred over rigid structure. All gauges are nominal. FDA compliant for direct food contact applications.

Use Case Notes

At 8" lay-flat width, the tubing opens to approximately 5.1" effective diameter when cylindrical, making it well-suited for single-stem flower sleeves, small bouquet bases, and narrow-diameter produce bundles. Cut to any desired length from the roll. Heat seal both ends to create a fully enclosed bag, or leave one end open and seal only the bottom for a sleeve format. The 4,000 ft roll length supports continuous production without frequent changeovers.

Common Questions

Q: What is the effective diameter of this tubing when open?
A: An 8" lay-flat width corresponds to approximately 5.1" internal diameter when the tubing is opened cylindrically (calculated as 2 × 8" ÷ π). Actual usable diameter depends on the stiffness of the contents.

Q: Can this tubing be heat sealed to make individual bags?
A: Yes. Cut to desired length and heat seal both ends on a standard impulse sealer. One end can also be left open for a sleeve or sock format.

Q: Is this tubing FDA compliant for produce or food contact?
A: Yes. This tubing is made from LDPE resin meeting FDA/USDA specifications and is suitable for direct contact with fresh produce and food items.

Why Source This Tubing

At 4,000 ft per roll, this 8" 1.5 mil LDPE tubing offers a long-run supply of custom-cut packaging material for florists, produce packers, and retail operations that require flexible bag lengths without stocking multiple fixed-size SKUs. Precision extrusion and even wall thickness ensure consistent heat-seal performance across the entire roll.
