200G Polythene Bags
Clear Poly Bags (Paper Wrapped) — Product Overview
These clear polythene bags are a practical, everyday packaging choice for protecting and presenting items in storage, fulfilment, retail, and general packing environments. Supplied as paper-wrapped packs, they’re designed to be easy to handle, count, and store, while the clear film helps you identify contents quickly without opening the bag. The specification for this listing includes a clear poly bag format, a medium-duty film thickness (51 micron / 51mu), and a size shown in both imperial and metric measurements (6 x 12 inches / 152 x 305mm).
If you need a straightforward, reliable clear bag for separating, protecting, and organising products, this style is a widely used option across many industries.
Key Features
Clear film for fast identification
The transparent material makes it easy to see what’s inside at a glance—useful for picking, packing, stock control, and general organisation.
Medium-duty thickness (51mu)
A 51 micron film offers a sturdier feel than very light-duty bags, helping reduce splits and punctures during normal handling and packing tasks.
Paper-wrapped packs for tidy storage
Paper wrapping helps keep packs neat and contained, making them easier to store on shelves, in packing stations, or in stock rooms.
Versatile bag format
Clear poly bags are commonly used for protecting items from dust and light moisture exposure during storage and transit (note: not intended as a fully waterproof or airtight barrier unless otherwise stated).
Simple, efficient packing workflow
These bags suit quick “grab-and-pack” processes—ideal where speed and consistency matter.

Clear Poly Bags — Full Product Guide
Clear poly bags are a staple packaging solution because they’re simple, cost-effective, and adaptable. This guide explains how they’re typically used, what the key specification terms mean, and how to choose the right option for your packing process.
How It Works
A clear poly bag provides a protective outer layer around an item. In day-to-day use, the bag helps reduce contact with dust and surface marks, keeps grouped items together, and makes handling easier. Because the film is transparent, you can confirm contents quickly—helpful for order accuracy and stock management.
Materials and Construction
This product is described as a clear poly (polythene) bag. Polythene film is widely used in packaging due to its flexibility and toughness for its weight. The listing specifies a 51 micron (51mu) thickness, which is commonly considered a medium-duty option for general packing tasks.
What does micron (mu) mean?
Micron is a unit of thickness used for films. A higher micron number generally indicates a thicker, more robust film. For this listing, the stated thickness is 51mu.
Understanding the “200g” Grade Reference
The title and category reference include 200g. In packaging ranges, “g” can be used as a grade indicator within a supplier’s assortment (often linked to thickness bands or intended use). On Sapphire, this product sits under Medium 200G (50mu), aligning the 200g label with the medium-duty thickness category shown on the page.
Size and Fit Guidance
The size is shown in the title in both imperial and metric formats. When selecting a bag size, consider:
- Product dimensions: measure the widest and longest points of the item.
- Clearance: allow extra room for easy insertion and removal.
- Bulkiness: soft goods, bundles, or irregular shapes may need more allowance than rigid items.
- Presentation: if the bag is used for retail presentation, a neater fit can look more professional.
Floor Type Compatibility
Not applicable—this is a packaging product rather than a flooring product. If you’re equipping a packing area, these bags are typically used at benches, packing stations, or dispatch tables.
Health and Safety
- Keep away from children: plastic bags can present a suffocation hazard.
- Workplace handling: store packs neatly to reduce slip/trip risks from loose packaging.
- Food contact: only use for food if the product is explicitly stated as food-safe/food-grade elsewhere in the listing or documentation.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
These clear poly bags are commonly chosen where you need a balance of clarity, practicality, and durability:
- Order fulfilment: keeping items clean and grouped inside cartons or mailers.
- Parts and accessories: separating components to prevent scratching or mixing.
- Retail back-of-house: pre-packing items for faster replenishment.
- Storage: protecting items from dust during shelf or bin storage.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Poly bags are typically single-use or limited re-use depending on your process. To keep your packing area efficient:
- Store in a clean, dry place away from direct heat sources.
- Keep packs sealed/contained until needed to reduce dust contamination.
- Rotate stock so older packs are used first.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
Scenario: A small eCommerce operation ships mixed orders containing accessories and small boxed items.
Challenge: Items can rub together in cartons, and pickers need a quick way to confirm contents.
Solution: Clear poly bags are used to group related items per order line. The transparent film allows quick visual checks, while the medium-duty thickness helps the bags hold up during packing and handling. Paper-wrapped packs keep the packing bench tidy and make it easy to grab consistent quantities.
Who Is It For?
- Retailers and online sellers who want a simple protective bag for dispatch and storage.
- Warehouses needing clear organisation for parts and SKUs.
- Workshops and maintenance teams storing components and consumables.

Need help choosing?
If you’re unsure which thickness or size best suits your product, consider the item’s weight, edges/corners, and how it will be handled in transit. A slightly larger size can speed up packing, while a thicker film can improve durability for sharper or heavier items.
