Clear Poly Tubing 3 mil 18″ 3 mil 1600’/roll

This 18″ flat-lay LDPE poly tubing is manufactured at 3 mil thickness from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene resin. The 18″ width opens to approximately 36″ circumference, providing a protective sleeve for rolled documents, posters, architectural drawings, fabric bolts, and similarly dimensioned cylindrical or roll-form items.

Specs: 18″ Flat-Lay (approx. 36″ circumference) | 3 mil | LDPE | FDA Compliant | 3-in. Core | 1600 FT/Roll

Applications

• Rolled blueprint and architectural drawing sleeve protection

Material Notes

Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) tubing provides consistent moisture protection and flexibility across the full width. Even wall thickness ensures reliable barrier performance. FDA/USDA compliant for direct food contact applications, though primary use cases are document protection, textile sleeving, and industrial roll packaging.

Use Case Notes

At 18″ flat-lay, this tubing accommodates rolled documents up to approximately 11″ in diameter — suitable for most large-format architectural drawings, engineering prints, and poster rolls. For fabric bolt sleeving, the open circumference provides sufficient clearance for standard 60″ goods folded and rolled onto a cardboard core. Cut lengths are typically 3–6″ longer than the roll to allow tucking or heat sealing at each end.

Common Questions

Q: What is the maximum roll diameter this tubing can accommodate?
A: At 18″ flat-lay, the tubing has an interior circumference of approximately 36″, allowing rolled items up to about 11.5″ in diameter to slip in with minimal clearance. For larger roll diameters, the 24″ or wider tubing sizes would be appropriate.

Q: Can this tubing be used as flat sheeting?
A: Yes. Slitting one edge converts the tubing into a flat sheet approximately 36″ wide, usable for surface protection, wrapping, or custom packaging applications.
