Key Features
Clear presentation:
Transparent film helps you identify contents quickly without opening the bag—useful for picking, packing, and stock control.

Long format bag:
A longer bag profile suits items that don’t fit standard short poly bags, helping reduce folding, creasing, or awkward overhang.
Paper wrapped supply:
Paper wrapping keeps packs neat and easier to store on shelves or at packing benches, and can help reduce loose film slipping around in transit.
Consistent film thickness:
Specified at 30 micron (30mu) for a balance of flexibility and everyday durability for general packing tasks.
Bulk-friendly pack option:
Offered in larger quantities to support regular use in warehouses, retail backrooms, workshops, and fulfilment operations.

4x20 - 120g Clear Poly Bags (102x508mm - 30mu) - Paper Wrapped — Full Product Guide
Clear poly bags are a staple packaging choice because they’re quick to use, economical, and keep products visible. This particular bag format is designed for longer items, combining a clear film with a practical paper-wrapped supply format. If you’re looking for a straightforward way to keep items clean, organised, and ready for dispatch, these bags are a dependable option.
How It Works
Place the item inside the bag to create a simple protective barrier around the product. The clear film allows instant visual checks for identification, quantity verification, and quality control. Depending on your packing process, bags like these are commonly used as an inner pack (inside a carton or mailing bag) or as a standalone protective sleeve for storage and handling.
Materials and Construction
These bags are made from clear polythene film. Polythene is widely used in packaging because it is lightweight, flexible, and resistant to moisture in everyday environments. The film thickness is specified as 30 micron (30mu), which is often chosen for general-purpose packing where you want a balance between easy handling and practical durability.
Because the film is clear, it supports fast product recognition and can help reduce packing errors—particularly when multiple similar items are being processed at the same bench.
Size and Fit Guidance
The bag size is listed as 102 x 508mm. When selecting a poly bag, it’s best to allow a little extra room for easy insertion and removal, especially if the product has corners, edges, or a slightly irregular shape. If you plan to seal the bag (with tape, a label, or another closure method), allow additional length for the closure area.
Tip:
If your items are close to the bag width, consider whether you need extra clearance for faster packing and to reduce the chance of snagging during insertion.
Floor Type Compatibility
These bags are suitable for use across typical packing environments including warehouse floors, retail stockrooms, workshops, and office dispatch areas. The paper-wrapped format can be particularly helpful where you want packs to stay tidy on shelving, in drawers, or at a packing station.
Health and Safety
As with many plastic packaging products, keep bags away from heat sources and follow your site’s standard handling procedures. If used in environments with children, ensure appropriate supervision and storage practices are followed. Always dispose of packaging responsibly in line with local waste and recycling guidance.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
- Warehousing & fulfilment: quick bagging of long items for picking accuracy and protection.
- Retail & trade counters: clean presentation while keeping products visible to staff and customers.
- Workshops & assembly: grouping parts and components for kitting, job packs, or work orders.
- Print & signage: protecting narrow printed materials from dust and handling marks.
- General storage: organising stock in bins and shelving while maintaining visibility.
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 handling. Store unused packs in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and excessive heat to help maintain film performance. The paper wrap helps keep packs together and can reduce contamination from dust in storage.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
Scenario: A small fulfilment team dispatches long, narrow items that can pick up dust or scuffs when handled loose.
Approach: Items are placed into clear poly bags at the picking bench, then labelled and packed into outer cartons.
Result: Faster visual checks during packing, improved presentation on arrival, and fewer minor handling marks reported by customers.
