Furniture Rail & Rod Poly Tubing 18" -- 4 mil LDPE | 1,200 ft/Roll
18-inch lay-flat poly tubing in 4 mil LDPE, wound on a 3" core and supplied in 1,200-foot rolls. At 4 mil, this tubing handles the weight and surface contact demands of furniture components, metal rods, and bulkier industrial profiles without puncturing or tearing during cut-and-seal operations.
Specs: 18" Lay-Flat (≈11.5" Expanded Diameter) | 4 mil | LDPE | 1,200 ft/Roll | FDA/USDA Compliant
Applications:
- Furniture rail, leg, and crossbar sleeving
- Steel rod, conduit, and pipe sleeving for transit protection
- Large-diameter rolled fabric or carpet section wrapping
- Bulk produce bundling (leeks, celery, large corn)
- Custom-length parts packaging for distribution
Features:
- 4 mil LDPE — puncture-resistant for rigid or sharp-edged profiles
- 18" lay-flat expands to approximately 11.5" diameter
- Heat sealable, tieable, stapleable, or tapeable closure
- Wound on a 3" core with 1" core plug for standard dispensing equipment
- 1,200 feet per roll reduces changeovers in high-volume operations
Material Notes:
Made from 100% virgin LDPE resin, FDA/USDA compliant. LDPE is flexible and moisture-resistant, suitable for both dry goods and produce applications. The 4 mil gauge maintains film integrity when wrapping rigid or abrasive surfaces.
Use Case Notes:
Designed for variable-length cut-to-fit packaging workflows. Cut to length, load the item, then heat seal, tie, or tape. The 4 mil gauge is the correct choice for furniture components, metal goods, and other products where lighter gauges (1.5–2 mil) would risk tearing during insertion or transit handling.
Common Questions:
Q: What is the expanded diameter of 18" lay-flat tubing?
A: When opened, 18" lay-flat tubing expands to approximately 11.5 inches in diameter, accommodating cylindrical or rectangular objects up to about 11 inches across.
Q: Can this tubing be used on a commercial tubing dispenser?
A: Yes. The roll is wound on a standard 3" core with a 1" core plug, compatible with most commercial poly tubing dispensers and inline sealers.
Q: Is this tubing suitable for food contact?
A: Yes. The LDPE resin is FDA/USDA compliant and suitable for indirect food contact, including produce bundling and bulk food item packaging.
Why Buy:
1,200-foot rolls reduce roll-change downtime in continuous packaging lines. The 4 mil gauge handles the demands of furniture, hardware, and industrial rod sleeving where standard 2 mil tubing would fail. Standard 3" core for immediate compatibility with existing dispensing equipment.
