What is the difference between a layflat tubing and a centerfold film?

A layflat tubing is a closed tube - cut into pieces and sealed, it creates a bag. A centre-folded film is a film folded in half lengthways - unfolded, it provides a sheet of double width, or is used for packaging products slid in from the side. The choice depends on the product geometry and the packaging method.
