Clear Poly Tubing 2 mil 8″ 2 mil 3000’/roll

Clear poly tubing in 8″ wide x 2 mil LDPE provides a continuous-feed, cut-to-length packaging solution for rolled canvas prints, architectural drawings, poster tubes, rolled fabric, and medium cylindrical goods. Manufactured from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene resin meeting FDA and USDA specifications, this tubing is wound 3000 feet on a 3″ core with a 1″ diameter core plug for use on standard tubing dispensers and cut-to-length packaging systems. Consistent wall thickness across the full roll ensures reliable seal integrity at any cut point.

Specs: 8″ Lay-Flat Width | 2 mil | LDPE (100% Virgin) | 3000’/Roll (3″ Core) | FDA & USDA Compliant

Applications

Suited for print shops and art distributors packaging rolled canvas and poster prints, architectural firms and engineering offices protecting rolled drawings and blueprints, fabric wholesalers sleeving rolled textile samples, and food distributors packaging cylindrical or bundled products. The 3000-foot roll length supports extended production runs in mid-to-high volume packaging environments.

Features

• 100% virgin LDPE resin — FDA and USDA compliant for direct food contact
• 2 mil nominal gauge — standard barrier with added durability for heavier cylindrical goods
• 8″ lay-flat width — approximately 5″ open diameter, accommodates most medium cylindrical items
• 3000’/roll on a 3″ core with 1″ plug — extended run time, compatible with standard dispensers
• High optical clarity for product identification and inventory visibility
• Compatible with heat sealing, tying, stapling, or tape closure

Material Notes

LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) at 2 mil provides the flexibility needed to conform around cylindrical and rolled goods without kinking or creasing. The virgin resin formulation meets FDA and USDA food contact compliance, and LDPE’s moisture resistance makes these bags appropriate for both food and non-food cylindrical product protection without reformulation.

Use Case Notes

An 8″ lay-flat width corresponds to approximately a 5″ inner diameter when open, making it suitable for most large poster tubes, rolled canvas sizes up to 4–5″ in diameter, and PVC or cardboard tube bundles. Print-on-demand fulfillment operations use this size to sleeve individual rolled prints before insertion into a mailing tube. Fabric sample distributors use it to protect rolled swatches during transit. At 3000 feet per roll, a single roll provides high run time efficiency versus smaller 1000-foot rolls.

Common Questions

Q: Is this tubing FDA compliant for food contact?
A: Yes. Manufactured from 100% virgin LDPE resin meeting FDA and USDA specifications for direct food contact.

Q: What is the approximate open diameter of 8″ lay-flat tubing?
A: An 8″ lay-flat width corresponds to approximately 5.1″ open inner diameter, calculated as lay-flat width x 2 ÷ π. For products wider than 4.75″, consider the 10″ or 12″ tubing width.

Q: What equipment is needed?
A: The 3″ core is compatible with standard poly tubing dispensers and cut-to-length packaging benches. The 1″ core plug centers the roll on the mandrel during dispensing.

Why Buy

At 3000 feet per roll, this 8″ x 2 mil LDPE clear poly tubing offers a longer run between roll changes than standard 1000- or 2000-foot rolls, reducing downtime on active production and fulfillment lines. Virgin resin construction ensures consistent wall thickness, seal quality, and compliance across the full roll — a reliable stocking format for print shops, art distributors, and industrial operations with ongoing cylindrical product packaging requirements.
