Price Match

We guarantee our prices are extremely competetive and should be the BEST prices you will find on-line, along with delivering the very best service. For this reason, we offer a price match against other on-line sellers. If you find the same product elsewhere on line, give us a call on 0345 224 3691 and we will match or even beat it! Note that the following conditions must be met for the price match to apply:

- The item must be available on a UK website at the advertised price, and readily available to purchase, with a like for like delivery offering.

-The item in question must have the same specifications, quantity and be produced by the same manufacturer - although we will usually price match even if made by a different manufacturer, as long as its a comparable quality.

- Auction sites such as ebay and amazon do not qualify for price match.

- The price match cannot be used in conjunction with any discount codes or promotional items.

- If there are pricing errors on competitors sites that are clear typographical pricing errors, these will not be matched.

- Note that for corrugated lines (boxes/cartons), the item must be of the same specification (fluting and thickness) and be unbranded.

Polythene Layflat Tubing 20” (508mm) Wide - Heavy Duty 500 Gauge


Here at Globe Packaging we stock a wide range of clear polythene layflat tubing rolls, also known as lay-flat tubing or polythene tubing, available in two different thicknesses (250 gauge and 500 gauge) and in 15 different widths, all held in stock at market leading price-points for next working day delivery within mainland UK.

In the above section you will find clear polythene layflat tubing rolls that are 20” (508mm) wide, in a heavy duty thickness of 500 gauge, with each roll having a roll length of 168M (168 metres). Layflat tubing is essentially clear polythene tubing that has been wound onto a roll for continuous use. These layflat tubing rolls allow you to produce bags or tubes to any size, or wrap items before sealing, and protects them from dirt, dust and moisture. Layflat tubing can be used with heat sealers, ties, staples or tape (heat sealers are the most widespread used tool for layflat tubing).

The layflat tubing found in the section above has a thickness of 500 gauge, which is heavy duty. This is widely used to make bags or tubes for heavyweight items, or items such as nails etc that can pierce lighter thicknesses. For lighter 250 gauge versions of layflat tubing, simply click here.

Interesting Facts About Layflat Tubing


A couple of interesting facts about layflat tubing:

- With the majority of industry standard specifications of Layflat tubing rolls, such as the versions stocked at Globe Packaging, the width of the roll in inches matches the weight of the roll in kg. For example, a 4” wide roll of layflat tubing is 4kg in weight. The length of the roll on 250 gauge versions is always 336M, and the length of the roll of a 500 gauge version is always 168M. The price of the roll of a 500 gauge version is generally the same as the 250 gauge version, as the weight of the film/roll is exactly the same - the 250 gauge version is half the thickness of 500 gauge, but contains double the length.

- To calculate the diameter of a roll of layflat tubing in inches, simply multiply the width of the roll (in inches) by 2, then divide by 3.142.
