150G Polythene Bags
Clear Poly Sleeves (150g / 38µ) — Protective Packaging for Long, Slim Items
These clear polythene sleeves are designed to provide a simple, reliable way to protect and present long products during storage, handling and dispatch. Made from clear polythene film in a heavier-duty grade (150g / 38 micron), they help shield items from dust, light moisture and scuffs while keeping the contents visible for quick identification. The slim, elongated format makes them especially useful for packaging narrow goods where a standard bag would be wasteful or awkward.
Because these sleeves are transparent, they’re ideal when you want a clean, professional look for retail presentation, picking/packing, or internal stock control. They can be used as an outer protective sleeve, a liner, or a simple wrap-around barrier depending on your process.
Key Features
Clear visibility:
Transparent film allows instant identification of contents without opening the pack—useful for fast picking, quality checks and tidy presentation.
Heavier-duty film (150g / 38µ):
A thicker polythene grade that offers improved durability compared with lighter sleeves, helping reduce splits and punctures in everyday handling.
Long sleeve format:
Well-suited to narrow, elongated items that don’t sit neatly in standard poly bags, helping reduce excess packaging and improve fit.
Protects against dust and light moisture:
Acts as a practical barrier to keep products cleaner in storage and during transit (not intended as a fully waterproof or airtight solution).
Neat presentation for packing and retail:
Creates a clean, uniform finish for products that benefit from a clear protective outer layer.
Versatile for many workflows:
Useful in warehouses, workshops, retail backrooms and production environments for bundling, protecting and organising stock.

Clear Poly Sleeves (150g / 38µ) — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right sleeve is about balancing protection, clarity and efficiency. A sleeve that’s too thin may split or crease easily; one that’s too heavy may be unnecessary for the job. This 150g / 38µ clear polythene sleeve sits in a practical “everyday durable” range—ideal when you want a sturdier film without moving into specialist barrier materials.
How It Works
A polythene sleeve is a simple protective cover: you insert the product into the open end, and the film forms a close-fitting layer around the item. The sleeve helps reduce direct contact with dust and handling marks, and it can also help prevent light scuffing when items rub together in a carton or tote.
In many packing operations, sleeves are used as a first layer of protection before placing items into an outer carton, mailing bag, or larger poly bag. They can also be used as an internal liner to keep products separated and tidy.
Materials and Construction
Material: Polythene (poly) film in a clear finish.
Thickness/grade: 150g / 38 micron (38µ). Thickness is a key indicator of durability—generally, a higher micron film provides improved resistance to tearing and puncturing in normal handling.
Clarity: Clear film supports visibility and presentation, making it easier to confirm the correct item is packed and to maintain a clean, professional appearance.
Polythene sleeves are valued for being lightweight, flexible and quick to use. They’re also a common choice where you want a protective layer without adding bulk.
Fit and Product Selection (Why Sleeve Shape Matters)
Long sleeves are particularly useful when packaging narrow items because they reduce wasted space and help keep the product aligned. A better fit can also improve packing speed: items slide in more easily, and the sleeve is less likely to bunch up or trap excess air.
When selecting a sleeve, consider:
- Item length: Ensure the sleeve length comfortably covers the product.
- Item width/diameter: Allow enough room for easy insertion without overstretching the film.
- Handling conditions: If items have sharp corners or rough edges, a thicker film can help reduce splits.
- Presentation needs: Clear film is ideal when the product needs to be visible.
Floor Type Compatibility
Not applicable—this is a packaging sleeve rather than a flooring product. However, it is compatible with typical packing environments including warehouse benches, packing stations and production lines.
Health and Safety
- Keep away from children: Plastic film can present a suffocation hazard.
- Use appropriate handling: If packing sharp or pointed items, take care to avoid punctures and potential injury.
- Workplace housekeeping: Keep loose film and offcuts tidy to reduce slip/trip risks around packing areas.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
These clear poly sleeves are a strong fit for operations that need a quick, consistent protective layer for long items. Common use cases include:
- Warehousing and fulfilment: Protecting stock from dust and handling marks while keeping items visible.
- Manufacturing and assembly: Keeping components clean between process steps.
- Retail and trade counters: Presenting products neatly while allowing customers to see the item.
- Spare parts and maintenance stores: Organising long parts and reducing contamination.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Poly sleeves are typically single-use or limited re-use depending on your process. To get the best performance:
- Store sleeves in a clean, dry area away from direct heat sources.
- Avoid overfilling or forcing oversized items into the sleeve, which can stress seams and edges.
- If re-using sleeves internally, inspect for splits, punctures or excessive creasing before re-packing.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
Scenario: A busy packing bench handles long, narrow items that are prone to surface scuffs when placed directly into cartons.
Approach: Each item is sleeved first to create a clean protective layer. The clear film allows the packer to confirm the correct item at a glance, reducing picking errors. Sleeved items are then grouped into an outer carton for dispatch.
Outcome: Improved presentation on arrival, fewer handling marks, and faster visual checks during packing.
Who Is It For?
