Extrusion & Trim Profile Poly Tubing 14-in.

This 14 in. wide clear poly tubing provides an on-demand packaging solution for aluminum extrusions, plastic trim profiles, architectural molding strips, and other variable-length components where pre-made bags in fixed lengths are impractical. Operators cut the tubing to any required length and heat seal or tape one or both ends, producing a custom-fit bag on the packing line without maintaining an inventory of multiple bag sizes.

Specs: 14 in. Wide | 3 mil | LDPE | 1800 FT/Roll | 3-in. Core | FDA Compliant

Applications

Used by aluminum extrusion distributors, building materials suppliers, and industrial parts packagers for custom-length sleeving of profiles, rails, molding strips, and trim components. Also used in textile and roll goods operations for sleeving fabric bolts or rolled products at widths under 14 in., and in plumbing supply for individual protection of PVC and copper fittings during storage and shipment.

Features

• 14 in. flat-lay width accommodates most standard extrusion and trim profiles
• 3 mil LDPE provides puncture resistance for parts with sharp cut ends or burrs
• Cut-to-length design eliminates the need to inventory multiple fixed-length bag sizes
• Heat sealable on standard impulse or bar sealers; also closeable with tape, staples, or ties
• Neatly wound on a 3-in. core with 1-in. diameter core plug for dispenser or stand compatibility
• Made from 100% virgin LDPE resin meeting FDA and USDA specifications

Material Notes

Manufactured from virgin Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) at nominal 3 mil gauge to ensure even wall thickness and film clarity across the 1800 ft roll length. LDPE poly tubing maintains flexibility and will not embrittle under standard warehouse storage temperatures. The 3-in. core is compatible with most standard roll dispensers and packing bench holders.

Use Case Notes

The 14 in. flat-lay width opens to a circumference of 28 in., suitable for enclosing extrusion profiles up to approximately 8.9 in. diameter or flat sections up to 14 in. wide. In building supply distribution, 14 in. tubing is commonly used to individually sleeve window stop molding, door casing profiles, base cap strips, and similar trim lengths cut to order at the distribution level.

Common Questions

Q: What is the maximum diameter part this tubing accommodates?
A: The 14 in. flat-lay tubing opens to a 28 in. circumference, accommodating circular cross-sections up to approximately 8.9 in. in diameter, with some clearance for loading.

Q: Can this be sealed with a standard impulse sealer?
A: Yes. Standard impulse bar sealers used for poly bags work with LDPE tubing of this thickness. Seal width should span the full 14 in. material width.

Q: Is this tubing FDA compliant for food contact?
A: Yes. Made from virgin LDPE resin meeting FDA and USDA food contact specifications.

Why Buy

At 1800 FT per roll, this tubing supports continuous-run packing operations with fewer roll changes than shorter runs. The cut-to-length format eliminates overstock of fixed-size bags for variable-length product lines, reducing packaging SKU count while covering a wide range of part lengths from a single roll.
