Oh wait. That’s the other guy’s tubing.
Most plastic tubing manufacturers are like car dealers in the 1920’s: “You can have your car in any color you want, just as long as it’s black.” They are content to offer their tubing customers a “choice” between black, clear or white. The obvious question then is why does Freelin-Wade offer their tubing in 28 standard stock colors?
First, there are lots of of tubing applications where the plastic tubing takes center stage. The right color can be a powerful branding tool for whatever you’re building. You will also find that
eye-popping color will catch your customer’s eyes, drawing them to your product. Color will make your product stand out and take you to a new level.
Of course another reason for having so many color choices is how much easier it is to trace a line. Have you ever tried to trace a single black tube through an all black, eight tube assembly? Yikes.
Now just imagine the impact of every line being a different color. Tracing that line is easy... in fact, it’s kind of humdrum.
Oh wait − That’s the other guy’s tubing.

Color plays an important role in the world. It can change minds and cause all kinds of reactions. Color can raise
your blood pres- sure, make your mouth water or
prompt you into action. It’s a great way to make your product communicate like no other.
Color is also a great way to draw attention to something for safety reasons. You can’t miss seeing our neon colored tubing.
We’re the fastest in the industry at getting you the right tubing, in just the right color to cause your own reactions.
You’ve got a leak in one of your lines. Now you need to pull the line and replace it.
If your tubing bundle is all one color, then you’ve got a project on your hands. If your tubing assembly is longer than your arm, tracing will take so long that you might as well just replace the whole thing. There’s just no good way to label and track a one- color line.
“Which one has the leak?”
Ahh... but if on the other hand, you had used Freelin-Wade tubing with our 28 stock colors, then this would be easy.
The leak’s in the red one.
