Poly Tubing for Blueprint Roll Sleeving and Large-Format Document Protection

This 20-in. flat-lay poly tubing opens to approximately 12.7 in. diameter — making it well-sized for sleeving rolled architectural drawings, large-format poster tubes, site plan rolls, and oversized document cylinders for transit and storage protection. Lightweight 2 mil LDPE construction keeps per-foot cost low for high-volume document management and print fulfillment operations.

Specs: 20 in. Flat-Lay (~12.7 in. Diameter) | 2 mil | 100% Virgin LDPE | 2100 FT/Roll | 3-in. Core | FDA Compliant

Applications

Architectural drawing and blueprint roll sleeving; large-format poster and trade show graphic tube packaging; site plan and engineering drawing storage; rolled canvas and fine art print protection; fishing rod and pool cue sleeving; chair leg and industrial tube cover protection.

Features

20-in. flat-lay accommodates rolled documents up to 12.7 in. diameter when opened. 2 mil lightweight gauge minimizes material cost per linear foot for document-volume applications. High-clarity film maintains document and product visibility through the sleeve. Cut to length on site and close by heat sealing, tying, or taping. Wound on a 3-in. core with 1-in. plug for standard roll dispensers. 2100 ft/roll minimizes restocking frequency for high-volume sleeving operations.

Material Notes

Made from 100% virgin LDPE resin meeting FDA/USDA specifications. Light, flexible construction conforms to cylindrical document rolls and tube packaging formats. Does not contain recycled content.

Use Case Notes

Standard architectural drawings are typically printed on 18 or 24 in. wide rolls. Rolled to 3–4 in. diameter, a standard drawing roll fits easily within the 12.7 in. diameter opening of this tubing. The 2100 ft roll length supports sustained sleeving operations for architectural firms, print shops, and large-format distribution centers. Heat-seal both ends for weather-resistant transit protection.

Common Questions

Q: What diameter does this tubing open to?
A: At 20 in. flat-lay, this tubing opens to approximately 12.7 in. diameter (flat-lay × 2 ÷ π).

Q: Can this be used with a heat sealer for rolled drawings?
A: Yes. LDPE tubing heat-seals cleanly with an impulse bar sealer. Alternatively, close with tape, staples, or poly twine without sealing equipment.

Why Buy

2 mil LDPE minimizes per-foot cost for high-volume blueprint and document sleeving. 2100 ft/roll reduces roll change frequency in busy print and document management operations. FDA compliant for food-adjacent and general protective packaging applications.
