Manufactured from low density polythene (LDPE) with a minimum of 30% recycled content and is 100% recyclable.

By using a heat sealer, you can rapidly produce your own bespoke polythene bags. View our range of heat sealers here. Alternatively you can seal by hand using tape, twine, cable ties and other similar sealing products.

More Information

Eliminate the need to stock hundreds of different-sized plastic bags with L-PAC’s highly versatile polythene layflat tubing. This industrial wrapping solution is engineered for businesses that manufacture or distribute products of non-standard, varying, or extreme lengths—such as steel rods, plastic pipes, copper extrusions, and heavy engineering components. Manufactured from heavy-duty, low-density polythene (LDPE), our layflat tubing allows your warehouse staff to create custom-length bags on demand by sliding the material over an object and sealing it at both ends using an impulse heat sealer.

Serving industrial plants across the North East and North West of England, L-PAC provides layflat tubing in an array of widths and thicknesses—from medium-duty 250-gauge for dust protection to ultra-heavy-duty 1000-gauge designed to contain heavy, sharp, or abrasive metal parts. Moisture-resistant, flexible, and exceptionally strong, our tubing maximises material yield and keeps your total volumetric packaging costs to an absolute minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
