120G Polythene Bags
36x96 Clear Poly Bags (120 Gauge / 30 Micron) — Paper Wrapped
These clear polythene bags are designed for protecting, covering and presenting long or bulky items where a standard-length bag won’t do. Made from clear polythene at 120 gauge (approx. 30 micron / 30mu), they provide a practical balance of clarity and durability for everyday packing, storage and transit protection. Supplied paper wrapped for tidy handling and easier stock control, they’re a popular choice for warehouses, manufacturers, retailers and trade counters that need consistent, repeatable packaging.
Because this is a configurable product listing, the exact pack quantity and pricing may vary by option. Please select the variant that best suits your workflow and order volume.
Key Features
Clear presentation: Transparent film helps with quick identification of contents without opening the bag—useful for picking, packing and goods-in checks.
120 gauge / 30mu thickness: A commonly used thickness for general-purpose protection, helping reduce scuffs, dust and light moisture exposure during storage and handling.
Extra-long format: Ideal for long items that are awkward to wrap with short bags, helping you cover products in one piece rather than patching multiple sleeves together.
Paper wrapped packs: Paper wrapping keeps packs neat, helps prevent bags from snagging in storage, and supports cleaner dispensing at the bench or packing station.
Versatile protection: Suitable for many non-food applications where a clean, protective outer layer is needed for storage, internal distribution or despatch.

36x96 Clear Poly Bags (120 Gauge / 30 Micron) — Full Product Guide
Long-format polythene bags are a simple, cost-effective way to protect products that don’t fit standard bag sizes. This guide explains what the specification means, how to choose the right option, and how to get the best performance from your bags in day-to-day use.
How It Works
Poly bags create a lightweight protective barrier around your product. Once the item is inserted, the bag can be closed using a suitable method for your process—commonly tape, labels, ties, or heat sealing (where appropriate for the film type and your equipment). The clear film supports fast identification and reduces handling time when checking or picking stock.
For long items, using a single long bag can be quicker and neater than wrapping with sheet film or combining multiple shorter bags. It also helps reduce exposed edges where dust can enter.
Understanding the Specification (Size & Thickness)
Size: The size shown in the product title refers to the bag’s nominal dimensions. As with most flexible packaging, the usable internal space depends on the shape of the item being packed. If you are packing bulky or irregular items, allow extra room so the bag can slide over the product without stretching or tearing.
Thickness: These bags are listed as 120 gauge, also shown as 30 micron (30mu). Thickness is a key factor in puncture resistance and overall durability. A thicker film generally offers improved robustness, while a thinner film may be easier to handle and more economical for lighter-duty protection.
Materials and Construction
These bags are made from clear polythene film. Polythene is widely used in packaging because it is lightweight, flexible and provides a clean protective layer. The clear finish supports product visibility and helps maintain a professional presentation for packed goods.
Paper wrapped packs are supplied with an outer paper wrap around the stack of bags. This helps keep the pack tidy in storage and can make it easier to issue packs to workstations without loose bags catching or snagging.
Floor Type Compatibility (Warehouse & Packing Environments)
These bags are well suited to typical warehouse and packing environments, including:
- Bench packing: Easy to open and load for manual packing operations.
- Pick/pack stations: Clear film supports quick verification of contents.
- Production areas: Useful for keeping parts clean between process steps.
- Stores and goods-in: Helps protect items from dust while in racking.
If your environment includes sharp edges, swarf, or abrasive surfaces, consider trialling the bags with your product to confirm puncture resistance is suitable for your handling conditions.
Health and Safety
- Keep away from children: Plastic bags can present a suffocation hazard.
- Manual handling: For long items, use appropriate lifting and handling practices to avoid snagging the bag on corners or edges.
- Workplace housekeeping: Keep loose film and packaging waste controlled to reduce slip/trip risks.
If you plan to heat seal, ensure your sealing equipment is suitable for the film and that operators follow equipment safety guidance.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Long clear poly bags are commonly used across many sectors where products need clean protection and easy identification:
- Manufacturing & fabrication: Protecting finished parts, assemblies and long components.
- Construction supply & trade counters: Packaging long items for customer collection or delivery.
- Warehousing & distribution: Keeping stock clean and grouped for efficient picking.
- Retail & eCommerce fulfilment: Presenting long products neatly and protecting them in transit (often as an inner pack before boxing).
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Poly bags are typically used as a single-use protective pack. To keep them performing well:
- Store in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Keep packs wrapped until needed to reduce dust contamination.
- Avoid overfilling—forcing bulky items can stress seams and increase the chance of tearing.
- Use the right closure for your process (labels/tape/ties/sealing) to prevent items sliding out during handling.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
A warehouse team handling long, finished components needed a quick way to keep items clean on racking and during internal transfers. By switching to long clear poly bags, operatives could slide a bag over each item immediately after inspection, apply an ID label to the outside, and store the product without additional wrapping. The clear film reduced time spent opening packs for checks, while the paper wrapped supply kept the packing bench organised and reduced snagging from loose stacks.
Who Is It For?
