120G Polythene Bags
Clear Poly Bags (5 x 7 in / 127 x 178 mm) — Lightweight, Protective Packaging
These clear polythene bags are a practical, everyday packaging choice for organising, protecting and presenting small items. Made from clear polythene at approximately 30 micron thickness (often referred to as 120 gauge), they provide a neat, professional look while helping shield contents from dust, light handling moisture and general scuffs during storage and transit. The transparent film makes it easy to identify what’s inside at a glance—ideal for busy packing benches, stock rooms, retail back-of-house areas and fulfilment operations.
Whether you’re packing parts, stationery, craft supplies, printed materials or small retail goods, clear poly bags offer a simple way to keep items grouped, clean and ready to dispatch. They’re also useful for separating components within larger cartons, reducing mix-ups and improving picking speed.

Clear Poly Bags — Full Product Guide
Clear poly bags are one of the most widely used packaging formats because they’re simple, cost-effective and adaptable. This guide explains what the bag is designed to do, how to choose the right option for your workflow, and how to get the best performance in storage and dispatch.
How It Works
The bag forms a protective sleeve around your product or components. Once the item is placed inside, the film acts as a barrier against dust and light contamination from handling. Because the bag is clear, you can confirm contents quickly—helpful for picking accuracy, returns processing and stock checks.
In many packing environments, poly bags are used as an inner pack: the bag keeps the item clean and grouped, while an outer carton or mailer provides the main transit protection. This layered approach can reduce damage and improve presentation when the customer opens the parcel.
Materials and Construction
These bags are made from clear polythene film. The thickness is approximately 30 microns (30µ), commonly described as 120 gauge. This is a lightweight, flexible film that suits general-purpose packaging where you want a tidy protective cover without excessive bulk.
Polythene is valued for its combination of clarity, flexibility and resistance to tearing under normal handling. It also folds flat, which makes it easy to store large quantities in a small footprint—useful for businesses that need to keep multiple packaging lines on hand.
Choosing the Right Fit (Without Over-Sizing)
For best results, choose a bag size that comfortably fits your product without excessive empty space. A closer fit typically improves presentation and reduces the chance of the contents shifting around. If you’re packing multiple items together, consider how they stack and whether sharp corners could stress the film.
If your items have pointed edges, heavy weight, or abrasive surfaces, you may prefer a thicker film option. For lightweight goods, paperwork, and small accessories, this thickness is often a practical everyday choice.
Compatibility With Packing Processes
Clear poly bags integrate easily into common packing workflows:
- Manual packing: quick to open, load and stack.
- Batch picking: helps keep order lines separated and labelled.
- Retail prep: keeps items clean and presentable before display or handover.
- Parts kitting: groups components into a single, easy-to-handle unit.
Because the contents remain visible, teams can verify items without reopening packs—saving time and reducing handling.
Health and Safety
As with all plastic bags, keep away from babies and children to avoid suffocation risk. In a workplace setting, store bags neatly to prevent slips or trips caused by loose packaging on floors. If you are packing food or medical items, ensure you select packaging that is specifically stated as suitable for that purpose and follow your internal compliance requirements.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
These clear poly bags are commonly used for:
- eCommerce fulfilment: inner protection for items shipped in mailers or cartons.
- Warehousing: organising SKUs, samples, and small parts.
- Offices and education: storing stationery, documents, and learning materials.
- Workshops: keeping fixings and components grouped and clean.
- Retail operations: back-of-house storage and presentation-ready packing.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Poly bags are typically used as a single-use or short-term protective pack. Store them in a clean, dry area away from direct heat and sunlight to help maintain clarity and prevent the film from becoming brittle over time. Keep cartons or packs sealed until needed to reduce dust build-up.
If you’re using bags for internal storage, consider labelling the outside with a marker or applying a label to support stock control. Always test inks/labels on a small sample first to ensure adhesion and legibility for your process.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
Scenario: A small fulfilment team ships mixed accessory orders daily and needs to reduce picking errors and improve presentation.
Approach: Each order line is placed into a clear poly bag as it’s picked. The bagged items are then grouped into a single outer mailer or carton.
Result: The team can visually confirm contents quickly, items stay cleaner during handling, and customers receive a more organised parcel on arrival.
