Layflat Tubing
'Layflat tubing', also known as 'Poly-tubing' is a flexible, continuous roll of polyethylene sleeving open at one end and rolled up at other; either on plastic or cardboard core, enabling user to determine length of the bag for each item.
Economical & easiest way to package or enclose objects of same width but various lengths. Ideal for packaging odd shaped, long or 'difficult to wrap' items. Insert into tubing and cut to required length then heat seal both ends. Simply insert your product into the tubing, cut to required length and heat seal, staple or tape one or both ends to create made-to-measure bags.
Alternatively, tubing can also be perforated at specific intervals, without seals. This perforated tubing is referred to as sleeves. They can be custom made to your size specifications, produced with your choice of high-quality material and printing options.
Single Wound Sheeting
Single Wound Sheeting (SWS) also known as Flat Film is a lay flat polyethylene tubing slit on both sides, creating 2 sheets on top of each other and wound separately. Wide range of applications designed for use with machine fed packaging. They can be custom made to your size specifications, produced with your choice of high-quality material and printing options.
Double Wound Sheeting
Double Wound Sheeting (DWS) is sheeting wound up 2 layers thick on a roll. Sheeting measured is in inches for width and the length is in feet. They can be custom made to your size specifications, produced with your choice of high-quality material and printing options.
Center Slit Film or Gusseted Tubing
Center Slit Film or Gusseted Tubing has a slit down the center of one layer of film. This slit down the middle allows the sheeting to open up to a flat sheet. They can be custom made to your size specifications, produced with your choice of high-quality material and printing options.
Center Slit Gusseted Tubing
Center Slit Gusseted Tubing has a triangle shaped pleat on both sides of the bag. These gussets allow the bag to expand beyond its layflat width, giving more room for bulky, big or square items. They can be custom made to your size specifications, produced with your choice of high-quality material and printing options.
