If you wrap your products with a strong, reliable plastic film, you’re probably familiar with poly tubing. If you choose to cut corners with your wrapping, you may be more familiar with lost and damaged stock, lost productivity and reduced profits.
Don’t let your business become another victim of poorly manufactured packaging. Learn more about poly tubing and find out why you should make the switch if you haven’t already.
What Is Poly Tube?
Polyethylene (poly) tubing is a film product that is wound on a roll for continuous use. It is used in many industries as it offers far greater versatility than plastic bags. It is customizable and flexible, and it can be used for many applications.
A Brief History
Polyethylene was first synthesised by German chemist Hans von Pechmann in 1898. This discovery was purely accidental as he was actually investigating Diazomethane. After this revelation, scientists found that polyethylene had properties that divided into:
- Mechanical
- Thermal
- Optical
- Chemical
- Electrical
As a result of these findings, polyethylene products first started to be mass manufactured in the 1950s.
Common Applications
Any company that needs multiple products wrapped at once can benefit greatly from poly tubing. Companies that can take their productivity to the next level with poly tube include:
- Retail
- Transportation and logistics
- Construction
These industries handle goods of all shapes, weights and sizes. Poly tubing is so versatile that it can be used to transport an array of chemicals and liquids. This makes it easy to be vigilant with your stock, taking the headache out of transporting your products.

As well as poly tubes, Dolphin Plastics & Packaging is also a leading supplier of poly bags. Poly bags are ideal for companies that want a quality bag for small or large products. Ranging from 100mm to 2.5m wide, our poly bags are made in a variety of different thicknesses and are a more eco-friendly option then other packaging.
