Companies and manufacturers alike are now turning to clear polyethylene tubing as a better alternative to clear poly bags and poly sheeting. Clear Polyethylene Tubing or Clear Poly Tubing, as it is more popularly known, is more convenient and cheaper than the other choices.

Choosing a Distributor

Before going to a distributor to make your purchase, you might want to learn how to choose a good clear poly tubing distributor first.

Clear poly tubing distributors are available in one click over the internet. While it seems like a good idea to purchase directly from manufacturers, manufacturers typically sell for a more expensive price than their distributors. This ensures good business relations with the distributors. Manufacturers also don’t have all polyethylene products readily available. It is still a better option to choose a good distributor instead of going directly to a manufacturer.

Here are some guidelines in buying your clear poly tubing:

- Find a vendor with a trusted reputation, who’s been in the industry long enough to have experience down times. There are so many distributors out there. A lot of the new ones don’t survive a year in the industry. It is best to go with a company that has experienced the worst but is still thriving. This ensures that you get what you need and when you need it.

- You’d also want a distributor who has representatives readily available when you need to ask questions. And of course, the representative has to be very well-versed in the field. Big companies would usually put a knowledgeable representative first when deciding with which vendor to do business.

- There are a lot of good quality clear poly tubing manufacturers and distributors from China and India. The problem with distributors from the said countries is that manufacturers and distributors from them do not have enough experience to go for in clear poly tubing. They would also typically market themselves as a US-based company. This says a lot about how much clear poly tubing production companies based on the said countries can or cannot be trusted.

- Finally, you should get a company that has a large variety of plastic bags and tubing. If you want a good working relationship with a distributor, it would be best if you stick with a distributor that could supply you with all your plastic needs. That way, just in case you start needing a custom poly bag, you actually have somewhere to run.
