Anti Static Poly Tubing Packaging Guide
Direct answer: anti-static poly tubing gives electronics teams a cut-to-length bag or sleeve path for static-sensitive parts. Start with the part width, handling risk, and whether 2 mil or 4 mil material fits the workflow, then use the matching Packrift route for inspection, reorder, or quote planning.
Anti-Static Poly Tubing Buying Checks
| Buying question | What to check | Decision rule |
|---|---|---|
| Is tubing the right format? | Check whether the operation needs variable bag length, service-part sleeves, kit packaging, or a roll that operators cut at the pack station. | Use tubing when cut-to-length flexibility matters more than pre-made bag convenience. |
| Which width fits? | Measure the widest packed part, add insertion room, and confirm the sealed pack will not press against sidewalls. | Choose the narrowest width that still lets operators insert, seal, and remove parts without friction. |
| 2 mil or 4 mil? | Review part edges, puncture risk, weight, repeated handling, and whether the tube will be used for storage or transit. | Use 2 mil for lighter low-risk handling and 4 mil when the product or workflow needs extra resistance. |
| Will this repeat? | Record SKU, cut length, sealing method, substitute width, destination, and monthly usage. | Use reorder or bulk quote paths once the tubing becomes part of a standard electronics-packaging workflow. |

| SKU | Route | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| PTAS0204 | 2 in x 1075 ft 4 mil pink anti-static poly tubing roll | Use for narrow electronics parts, small assemblies, and custom bag lengths where puncture resistance matters. |
| PTAS0304 | 3 in x 1075 ft 4 mil pink anti-static poly tubing roll | Use for narrow parts that need a slightly wider opening than the 2 in route while keeping the heavier 4 mil format. |
| PTAS0504 | 5 in x 1075 ft 4 mil pink anti-static poly tubing roll | Use for small boards, components, kitted electronics, and parts that need a mid-width 4 mil anti-static tube. |
| PTAS0802 | 8 in x 2150 ft 2 mil pink anti-static poly tubing roll | Use when the part needs a wider opening and lighter 2 mil material is acceptable for the handling environment. |
| PTAS0904 | 9 in x 1075 ft 4 mil pink anti-static poly tubing roll | Use when the width requirement moves beyond 8 in but the operation still needs the heavier 4 mil format. |
| PTAS1002 | 10 in x 2150 ft 2 mil pink anti-static poly tubing roll | Use for wider electronics packaging where lighter tubing, longer roll length, and cut-to-length packing are useful. |
| PTAS1202 | 12 in x 2150 ft 2 mil pink anti-static poly tubing roll | Use for broader components, kits, or assemblies where a 12 in tube prevents tight fit and handling friction. |
| PTAS1802 | 18 in x 2150 ft 2 mil pink anti-static poly tubing roll | Use for large assemblies or mixed electronics packing where the tube width is the limiting buying decision. |
Before Standardizing Anti-Static Tubing
- Test insertion room: operators should be able to slide the part into the tube without scraping corners or forcing the material.
- Confirm sealing method: document cut length, seal style, label placement, and whether the process happens at a bench or shipping station.
- Separate storage from shipping: use additional outer packaging when the tubing protects static-sensitive parts but not carrier handling.
- Record substitutes: save the nearest wider route and alternate mil thickness before the size becomes a standard.
- Plan replenishment: keep SKU, monthly roll use, destination ZIP, and receiving notes in the quote or reorder record.

FAQ
What is anti-static poly tubing used for?
Anti-static poly tubing is used to make cut-to-length bags or sleeves for electronics, components, circuit boards, assemblies, and static-sensitive parts.
How do I choose 2 mil versus 4 mil anti-static poly tubing?
Use the thinner route when handling risk is light and roll length matters. Use the heavier route when puncture risk, edges, repeated handling, or protection needs increase.
How should I choose anti-static poly tubing width?
Measure the widest packed part, add room for insertion and sealing, and avoid a tube that forces the product against the sidewalls.
When should I use a bulk quote for anti-static tubing?
Use a bulk quote when the job repeats, multiple widths are bought together, destination details matter, or substitute-width rules need to be documented.
