Elite Plastics have manufactured bespoke polythene layflat tubing for 35+ years, designed to provide a flexible, efficient and cost-effective packaging solution for a wide range of industries.

Manufactured in the UK to your exact specification, our layflat tubing allows customers to package products quickly and efficiently while ensuring protection during storage and transit.

Cost-Effective Packaging Solution

Layflat tubing offers a highly efficient method of packaging, as it can be cut to the exact required length and sealed, eliminating unnecessary waste.

This ensures:

  • Minimal material waste

  • Improved packing efficiency

  • Secure packaging of goods

  • Reliable protection during transit

It is widely used across manufacturing, distribution and logistics environments where flexibility and cost control are essential.

High Strength Layflat Tubing

Our exclusive “Supa” grade polythene blend produces a high-strength film that allows for thinner, lighter material while maintaining the same performance as conventional polythene.

This provides:

  • Excellent puncture and tensile resistance

  • Reduced material usage

  • Consistent protection for packaged goods

Our high-strength layflat tubing is ideal for applications where performance and efficiency are critical.
