Lightweight Polythene Bags
Clear Poly Bags (Lightweight 25 micron / 100g)
These clear polythene bags are a lightweight, cost-effective way to protect, present and organise products in storage, packing and dispatch. Made from transparent LDPE-style film (commonly referred to as “poly”), they provide a clean, professional appearance so contents can be identified quickly without opening the bag. The film is thin and flexible, making it easy to load items while still offering a practical barrier against dust, light handling marks and general contamination during day-to-day use.
Because this product page may cover multiple size options, the information below focuses on the material, performance and typical applications rather than a single exact dimension. Please select the size and pack quantity that best suits your product and packing process.

Clear Poly Bags — Full Product Guide
Clear poly bags are a staple packaging consumable for businesses that need a simple, economical way to bag and protect products. The lightweight film is designed for everyday handling and short-to-medium term storage, offering a practical balance between flexibility, clarity and cost. Whether you’re packing individual items, creating kits, or keeping parts separated on shelves, clear polythene bags provide a straightforward solution that integrates easily into most packing workflows.
How It Works
These bags are supplied flat and open at the top for quick loading. Place the product inside, then close using the method that suits your process—such as folding over, taping, applying a label, or using an external closure (depending on your packing requirements). Because the film is clear, you can identify contents quickly, which can reduce picking errors and speed up packing and quality checks.
Materials and Construction
The bags are made from clear polythene film (often referred to as poly). Polythene is widely used in packaging because it is lightweight, flexible and resistant to moisture. The “25 micron (25µ)” thickness is a light gauge, commonly chosen when you want a neat protective cover for lighter items rather than heavy-duty puncture resistance.
Understanding micron thickness:
Micron (µ) is a measurement of film thickness. Lower micron films are lighter and more flexible; higher micron films are thicker and generally more robust. If you are packing sharp-edged, heavy or abrasive items, you may prefer a heavier gauge. For many general-purpose tasks, a 25µ film is a popular choice for keeping costs down while still providing a useful protective barrier.
Clarity and Presentation
Clear film supports a clean, professional look and makes it easy to confirm the correct item is inside without opening the bag. This is particularly helpful for:
• stockrooms and warehouses (fast identification)
• kitting and assembly (quick verification)
• retail and trade counters (simple presentation)
• returns processing (easy inspection)
Protection Level: What to Expect
Lightweight poly bags are designed primarily for protection from dust, light moisture contact and handling marks. They are ideal for keeping items clean and separated. As with any thin film, they are not intended as a heavy-duty protective sleeve for sharp or highly abrasive products unless additional protection is used (for example, wrapping the item first or selecting a thicker bag).
Floor Type Compatibility
These bags are suitable for use in a wide range of environments including warehouses, packing benches, offices and light industrial settings. If you operate in areas where static control is required (for example, electronics handling), you may need specialist anti-static or ESD-safe packaging—please choose the appropriate product type for those applications.
Health and Safety
General handling: Keep packaging materials away from heat sources and open flames. Store in a clean, dry area to maintain clarity and performance.
Choking hazard: Plastic bags can present a suffocation risk. Keep away from babies, young children and vulnerable individuals, and follow your site’s safety procedures for packaging materials.
Workplace efficiency: For high-volume packing, consider using a dedicated packing station setup (labels, tape, dispensers and waste management) to reduce repetitive strain and improve throughput.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Clear lightweight poly bags are commonly used across many sectors. Typical examples include:
- E-commerce and fulfilment: Bagging small items, accessories, spares and add-ons before placing into mailing bags or cartons.
- Manufacturing and engineering: Keeping components separated, protecting parts from dust, and organising work-in-progress.
- Printing and stationery: Protecting leaflets, documents, manuals and printed packs from handling marks.
- Textiles and garments: Keeping items clean and presentable during storage and internal distribution.
- Retail and wholesale: Simple product protection and visibility for trade counters and back-of-house storage.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Poly bags are typically single-use or limited re-use depending on your process and the condition of the bag after opening. To keep them in best condition before use:
- Store flat in the original carton or outer packaging to prevent dust build-up.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high heat, which can affect plastics over time.
- Keep away from sharp objects that could puncture the film during storage.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
Scenario: A small fulfilment team packs mixed orders containing multiple small components.
Challenge: Items are easy to mis-pick and can rub against each other in a tote or carton, causing scuffs and slowing down checking.
Solution: Each SKU is placed into a clear poly bag during picking. The bag is labelled with the SKU and quantity, then grouped into the order carton.
Result: Faster visual verification, fewer picking errors, cleaner presentation on arrival, and improved organisation at the packing bench.
Who Is It For?
- Warehouses and stockrooms needing quick, visible organisation
- Retailers and wholesalers wanting simple protective packaging
- Manufacturers and workshops separating parts and assemblies
- Offices and print rooms protecting documents and packs
- Fulfilment operations looking for a lightweight, economical bagging option
Colours / Features Available
This listing is for clear poly bags. Clear film is chosen for visibility and a clean presentation. If you require tinted, opaque, printed, anti-static/ESD, grip-seal (resealable) or heavier-duty options, these are typically available as separate product types—select the most suitable option for your application.
Sizes Available
This product page may include multiple size options. Choose the size that comfortably fits your product with enough allowance for easy loading and your preferred closure method (folding, taping, labelling, etc.). If you are unsure, consider measuring your product’s width and length and allowing extra space for thickness/bulk and closure.
