Measuring Instructions |
Width x (Gusset) x Gauge (Thickness)
Width = A or F, Gusset = (B+C) or (D+E)
Length = Lineal footage of the roll |
|
Example:
A=20", B=5", C=5", D=5", E=5", F=20" |
Size = A X (B + C) X Gauge
= 20" X 10"Gusset X Gauge |
Minimum & Maximum Capabilities |
Minimum width = 18" (A+B+C)
Maximum width = 168" (A+B+C)
Minimum gauge = .00075 (3/4) mil
Maximum gauge = .010 (10) mil |
Printing Capabilities |
12"- 26" or over 120" : 1 colour, 1 side
26"- 120" : 2 colour, 1 side or 1 colour, 2 sides |
Gusseted Tubing has a triangle shaped pleat on both sides of the film. These gussets allow the tubing to expand beyond its layflat width, giving more room for bulky, big or square items.
When plastic film or polythene is extruded, the polymer is melted and hot air is blown in to it to create a bubble. By cooling and pulling the polythene off the extruder a tube of film is created, the film runs through gusset boards which create pleats in the film before the film is wound.
Gusseted tubing is another economical way to package or enclose objects of same width but various lengths. Gusseted tubing is deal for packaging odd shaped, long or 'difficult to wrap' square and bulky items. 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.
