Poly Tubing and Bags
Poly tubing and bags are essential, versatile packaging solutions made from durable low-density polyethylene (LDPE). Businesses use poly tubing for shipping, storage, and product protection. As a result, it shields items from moisture and dust effectively. The material costs little, bends easily, and blocks moisture exceptionally well. These qualities make it the go-to choice for smart packaging decisions.
At U.S. Packaging & Wrapping LLC, we stock a full range of poly tubing and bags to meet your needs across industries. All our products are FDA-compliant for direct food contact.
