120G Polythene Bags
Clear Poly Bags (120g / 30 micron) — Product Overview
These clear polythene bags are a practical, everyday packaging solution for protecting and presenting items where visibility matters. Made from clear film in a 120g (approx. 30 micron) thickness, they provide a dependable balance of flexibility and protection for general packing, storage, and distribution. The bags are supplied paper wrapped, helping keep packs tidy and easier to handle in storage and at the packing bench.
Clear poly bags are widely used across retail, eCommerce fulfilment, warehousing, manufacturing, and facilities teams because they are quick to use, lightweight, and help keep products clean and organised. The transparent film allows instant identification of contents without opening the bag, which can speed up picking, packing, and stock checks.

Clear Poly Bags (120g / 30 micron) — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right polythene bag is about matching film thickness and bag format to the level of protection you need, the type of product you’re packing, and how the bag will be handled in your process. This guide explains what a 120g (30 micron) clear poly bag is best suited for, how it performs in typical environments, and how to get the best results in day-to-day use.
How It Works
Clear poly bags provide a simple barrier around your product. Once an item is placed inside, the film helps shield it from dust, light moisture contact, and incidental handling marks. Because the bag is transparent, you can identify contents quickly—helpful for stock rotation, picking accuracy, and reducing time spent opening and re-checking items.
In many packing workflows, clear poly bags are used as:
- An inner protective layer inside cartons, mailing bags, or boxes
- A storage bag for parts and accessories on shelves or in bins
- A presentation bag where visibility supports merchandising or quality checks
Materials and Construction
These bags are made from clear polythene film in a 120g (approx. 30 micron) thickness. This thickness is commonly selected for general packaging tasks where you want a sturdier feel than very light film, while still keeping the bag flexible and easy to handle.
What “30 micron” means in practice
Micron (mu) is a measure of film thickness. A 30 micron bag is typically used for everyday packing and storage where the contents are not excessively sharp or heavy. If you are packing items with sharp corners, abrasive surfaces, or significant weight, you may prefer a thicker film; for very light items, a thinner film may be sufficient.
Product Visibility and Presentation
Clear bags are often chosen when you want to:
- Confirm product identity without opening packaging
- Show product condition at dispatch or goods-in
- Keep items clean while maintaining a professional appearance
This can be especially useful for multi-line orders, spare parts, and items that are frequently handled during picking and packing.
Floor Type Compatibility (Warehouse & Packing Areas)
While poly bags don’t interact with floors in the same way as tapes or floor protection products, your working environment still matters. In busy packing areas, clear bags help reduce mis-picks because contents can be verified quickly. In dusty environments, bagging items before shelving can help keep stock cleaner and reduce rework.
If you use racking, bins, or tote systems, clear bags can also help keep small items grouped together so they don’t migrate or get lost during movement.
Health and Safety
As with all plastic bags, safe handling and storage are important:
- Keep away from children and follow your site’s safety guidance for plastic packaging.
- Use appropriate manual handling practices when bagging heavier items—avoid overfilling and ensure the bag is suitable for the load.
- Consider product edges: sharp or pointed items may puncture film; use additional protection or a heavier gauge where needed.
If you are packaging food, medical, or regulated products, confirm suitability for your specific compliance requirements and intended use.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Warehousing and stock control
Use clear poly bags to keep SKUs separated, protect labels, and reduce dust build-up on stored items. Visibility supports faster cycle counts and easier identification.
Manufacturing and assembly
Bagging components and sub-assemblies helps keep parts together and reduces the chance of contamination or mix-ups between work orders.
Retail and merchandising support
Clear bags can be used to protect items in back-of-house storage while still allowing staff to identify products quickly.
eCommerce fulfilment
As an inner bag, clear poly helps protect items from scuffs and dust inside outer packaging. It can also help keep multi-part orders together.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Poly bags are typically single-use packaging, but good storage practices help maintain quality:
- Store in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Keep packs sealed or wrapped until needed to reduce dust contamination.
- Avoid crushing packs under heavy loads to prevent creasing and deformation.
Because these bags are supplied paper wrapped, they are easier to keep tidy on shelves and at packing stations.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
Scenario: A small fulfilment team ships mixed orders containing accessories and printed inserts.
- Accessories are grouped into clear poly bags to prevent small parts from separating in transit.
- Printed inserts are kept clean and flat by placing them in a separate clear bag.
- Because the bags are transparent, packers can verify contents quickly before sealing the outer carton.
Result: Faster packing checks, fewer missing-part issues, and cleaner presentation on arrival.

- Warehouses and distribution centres needing quick, visible protection for stock
- Retail operations organising back-of-house inventory
- Manufacturers and assembly teams bundling components
- eCommerce fulfilment teams using an inner protective bag
