150G Polythene Bags
6x20 Clear Poly Bags (150g / 38 micron) — Product Overview
These clear polythene bags are a practical, everyday packaging choice when you need a simple, lightweight way to protect, contain and present items. Made from clear polyethylene film, they provide visibility of contents while helping to keep products clean and grouped together for storage, picking, packing and dispatch.
This listing covers a range of pack quantities for the same style of bag. As with many packaging products, the same bag format may be used across multiple applications, so the guidance below focuses on how this type of clear poly bag is typically selected and used, rather than tying the description to one specific item size.
Key Features
Clear presentation
The transparent film makes it easy to identify contents at a glance—useful for stock control, order picking and retail presentation where you want the product to remain visible.
Lightweight protection
Poly bags help protect items from dust, light handling marks and general contamination during storage and transit, while adding minimal weight to your parcel or carton.
Everyday thickness (38 micron)
A 38µ film is a popular “general purpose” gauge for many packing tasks, balancing flexibility with durability for routine handling.
Versatile packing format
Ideal for bundling, separating, and organising components, garments, printed materials, parts and accessories—especially where you want a neat, uniform pack.
Simple to use
These bags are straightforward to open, fill and close. Depending on your process, they can be sealed with tape, labels, heat sealing equipment, or used with a fold-over closure method.

Clear Poly Bags — Full Product Guide
Clear poly bags are one of the most widely used packaging consumables because they solve a simple problem well: they keep items together and protected while remaining quick to handle. Whether you are packing individual products, grouping multiple items into one kit, or separating components for production, a clear polythene bag provides a clean, consistent presentation and helps reduce handling damage.
This guide explains how these bags work, what “150g” and “38 micron” typically indicate, and how to choose and use them effectively in a packing environment.
How It Works
A poly bag is formed from polyethylene film and sealed along the edges to create a pouch. You place the item(s) inside and then close the opening using the method that best suits your workflow:
- Temporary closure using a fold-over and label, or a small piece of tape.
- Permanent closure
- Operational closure using a label that also carries product information, barcodes or batch details.
Because the film is clear, the contents remain visible, which can speed up picking and reduce errors—especially when multiple similar items are stored in the same location.
Materials and Construction
These bags are made from clear polythene (polyethylene) film. Polyethylene is commonly used in packaging because it is lightweight, flexible and resistant to moisture. The bag seams are designed to hold during normal handling and packing operations.
Thickness (38 micron)
Film thickness is often stated in microns (µ). A 38µ bag is a widely used gauge for general packing tasks. It is flexible enough for quick filling and handling, while offering a step up in robustness compared with very thin film used only for light-duty applications.
“150g” reference
In many packaging catalogues, “150g” can be used as a shorthand grade reference for a particular bag range or thickness category. On this product page, the thickness is also stated as 38µ, which is the most direct specification to use when comparing alternatives.
Choosing the Right Bag (Practical Selection Tips)
When selecting a clear poly bag, the best fit depends on the product you are packing and how it will be handled:
- Allow for easy loading: choose a bag width that lets the item slide in without forcing, especially for products with corners or rigid edges.
- Consider the closure method: if you plan to heat seal, leave enough extra length above the product for a clean seal area.
- Think about puncture risk: sharper items or heavy components may require a thicker film or additional internal protection.
- Plan for labelling: if you apply labels, ensure there is a smooth area for adhesion and scanning.
Floor Type Compatibility
This product is a packaging consumable rather than a flooring product, so “floor type compatibility” is not applicable. However, it is compatible with typical packing environments including warehouse benches, dispatch stations, retail backrooms and production lines.
Health and Safety
- Keep away from children: plastic bags can present a suffocation hazard.
- Workplace handling: in busy packing areas, keep bags stored neatly to reduce slip/trip risks from loose film.
- Heat sealing: if using heat sealers, follow equipment instructions and allow sealing bars to cool before contact.
If you are packing food, medical items or products with specific compliance requirements, confirm suitability for your application and any relevant regulations before use.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Clear poly bags are used across many sectors because they are quick to deploy and easy to standardise:
- E-commerce fulfilment: keep items clean inside outer packaging, reduce scuffs, and improve presentation on unboxing.
- Retail presentation: protect products on shelves or in storage while keeping them visible.
- Manufacturing and assembly: kit parts together for a job, separate batches, or protect components between process steps.
- Print and promotional: bundle leaflets, brochures, manuals and inserts into tidy packs.
- Spare parts and service: organise components for engineers, service kits and warranty replacements.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Poly bags are typically single-use packaging items, so “maintenance” is mainly about storage and handling:
- Store clean and dry: keep packs in a dry area away from dust and moisture.
- Avoid excessive heat: store away from direct heat sources to prevent film distortion.
- Keep packs sealed until needed: helps maintain cleanliness for presentation-sensitive products.
- Use the right closure: tape, labels or heat sealing can help prevent items escaping during transit.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
Scenario: A small fulfilment team ships mixed orders containing accessories and printed inserts.
- Pickers place each accessory set into a clear poly bag to keep components together.
- A label is applied to the bag for quick identification and barcode scanning.
- Bagged items are then packed into an outer carton or mailer, reducing the chance of small parts moving around in transit.
Outcome: Faster packing, fewer missing components, and a cleaner presentation for the customer.
Who Is It For?
- Warehouses and distribution centres needing quick, consistent packing materials
- E-commerce sellers wanting clean presentation and easy content identification
- Manufacturers and assemblers who kit parts or protect components between stages
- Retailers and back-of-house teams organising stock and accessories
- Offices and print rooms bundling documents and inserts
Colours / Features Available
This product is supplied as a clear poly bag to maximise visibility of contents. If you require tinted, printed, or specialist closure styles, consider alternative bag types depending on your application.
Sizes Available
This product page represents a specific bag format within a broader range. If you need a different width/length, thickness, or a bespoke cut length for a particular packing process, it is often possible to source alternative sizes within the same general category of clear polythene bags.
For best results, choose a size that allows easy loading and leaves sufficient headroom for your preferred closure method (label, tape or heat seal).
