120G Polythene Bags
Clear Polythene Bags (Approx. 30 micron / 120g) — Protective, Versatile Packaging
These clear polythene bags are designed for straightforward, everyday protection and presentation. The transparent film makes it easy to identify contents at a glance, helping with picking, packing, stock control and general organisation. With an approximate thickness of 30 micron (often referenced as 120g in trade descriptions), they offer a practical balance of flexibility and protection for light-to-medium duty packaging tasks.
This listing is commonly used as a configurable product page, so the exact dimensions and pack quantities may vary by the option you select. The core benefit remains the same: a clear, lightweight poly bag that helps keep items clean, contained and easy to handle.
Key Features
Clear visibility:
Transparent film helps you quickly identify products without opening the bag—useful for warehouses, retail backrooms, e-commerce fulfilment and general storage.
Approx. 30 micron film (trade “120g”):
A thin, flexible gauge suited to many general packaging tasks. It’s a popular choice where you want protection from dust and light handling marks without moving to heavier-duty film.
Helps protect from dust and moisture splash:
Polythene provides a simple barrier that can reduce dust ingress and protect against minor moisture exposure during handling and storage (not intended as a fully waterproof or airtight solution unless sealed appropriately).
Lightweight and space-efficient:
Poly bags store compactly and add minimal weight to shipments—helpful for postage and courier cost control.
Recycled content option:
This product is offered with recycled content (as stated in the product title/variant information). Using recycled content can support packaging sustainability goals while maintaining practical performance for everyday use.

Clear Polythene Bags — Full Product Guide
Introduction
Clear poly bags are one of the most widely used packaging formats because they are simple, economical and adaptable. Whether you’re protecting goods in storage, organising inventory, or preparing items for dispatch, a clear bag provides quick visual confirmation of contents while helping keep products clean and presentable.
This guide explains how these bags work, what “30 micron / 120g” typically indicates, and how to choose the right option for your application—without assuming a specific size, as this page may include multiple size variants.
How It Works
Polythene bags are made from a thin plastic film formed into a bag shape. Items are placed inside and the opening can be left open, taped, tied, heat sealed, or otherwise closed depending on your packing method and the bag style you select.
Clear film advantage: because the bag is transparent, you can scan barcodes, read labels, and visually verify contents quickly—reducing handling time and helping prevent picking errors.
Materials and Construction
These bags are made from polythene film. Polythene is valued for its flexibility, low weight and resistance to everyday handling. The product title indicates a clear film and a thickness around 30 micron (30µ). Some variants also specify recycled content (for example, 30% recycled), which means a portion of the raw material comes from recycled sources.
What “30 micron” means:
Micron (µ) is a measure of thickness. A 30µ film is considered a lighter gauge, commonly used for general packaging and protective covering where sharp edges and heavy loads are not the primary concern.
What “120g” can indicate:
In some packaging contexts, “120g” is used as a trade descriptor alongside micron. Where both are shown together (as on this product page), treat the micron value as the clearer indicator of film thickness.

Health and Safety
- Suffocation hazard: Keep plastic bags away from babies, young children and vulnerable individuals.
- Workplace handling: When packing at speed, ensure good housekeeping to reduce slip/trip risks from loose film or discarded bags.
- Food contact: Only use for direct food contact if the specific variant is stated as food-safe/food grade by the supplier documentation.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Warehousing and stock control:
Use clear bags to group items by SKU, protect products from dust, and keep shelves tidy. Clear film supports quick visual checks during cycle counts.
Retail and e-commerce fulfilment:
Ideal for protecting items inside cartons or mailers, keeping products clean and reducing scuffs. Clear bags can also help present items neatly for customers when appropriate.
Workshops and light industrial:
Useful for organising parts, components, printed instructions, and accessory kits. For sharp or heavy components, consider a heavier gauge option.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
- Storage: Keep bags in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and excessive heat to help maintain film performance.
- Handling: Avoid overfilling and take care with sharp corners/edges that can puncture thinner film.
- Disposal: Follow local recycling guidance for plastic film. Where recycled content is used, it may support internal sustainability reporting, but end-of-life recyclability depends on local facilities.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
Scenario: A small fulfilment team ships mixed product lines and needs a simple way to keep items clean and easy to identify during packing.
- Pickers place each order line into a clear poly bag to prevent dust and handling marks.
- A label is applied to the outside of the bag for quick scanning.
- Bagged items are then placed into an outer carton or mailer for shipping.
Result: Faster visual checks, fewer packing errors, and improved presentation on arrival—without adding significant shipping weight.
