120G Polythene Bags
Overview
These clear polythene bags are a practical, everyday packaging choice for protecting, organising and presenting items in storage, fulfilment and retail environments. Made from transparent poly film, they help keep contents clean and visible at a glance—ideal when you need quick identification without opening the bag. This product page may represent multiple pack quantities/variants, so please select the option that best suits your usage and stock requirements.
Clear poly bags are widely used because they offer a strong balance of protection and convenience: they shield products from dust and light handling marks, reduce the risk of scuffs during picking/packing, and keep small components together. The clear finish supports efficient workflows in warehouses and back-of-house areas, while also giving a neat, professional appearance for customer-facing presentation.

12x15 - 150g Clear Poly Bags — Full Product Guide
Introduction
Clear poly bags are one of the most widely used packaging formats because they are simple, cost-effective and adaptable. Whether you are packing orders, storing stock, or keeping components organised, a clear polythene bag provides a clean protective layer while keeping the contents visible. This is especially valuable in busy environments where speed and accuracy matter—being able to identify items instantly can reduce picking errors and improve workflow.
This product is specified as clear poly bags with a stated size in both imperial and metric units, and a film thickness shown in microns (µ). The page may also reference a “g” value (often used as a trade descriptor for film grade/weight). Where multiple variants are offered, the core bag specification remains consistent while pack quantity and pricing may change.
How It Works
A clear polythene bag works as a protective sleeve around your product. Once the item is placed inside, the film forms a barrier that helps keep dust and debris away from the surface. Because the bag is transparent, you can still scan, count and verify items without opening the packaging—useful for inventory checks, quality control and dispatch.
In many operations, poly bags are used as an inner pack inside a carton or mailing bag. This layered approach can improve presentation and reduce the chance of products rubbing against each other during transit. They are also commonly used to group multiple items into a single unit (for example, a kit of parts), making it easier to pick and pack consistently.
Materials and Construction
These are clear polythene (poly) bags made from plastic film. The film thickness is stated on the product page in microns (µ), which is a common way to describe how robust the bag is. In general terms, a higher micron figure indicates a thicker film, which can offer increased durability for heavier or sharper-edged items. The clear finish supports visibility and a clean, professional look.
Because this listing is part of a broader category of polythene bags, it may sit alongside other thicknesses/grades. If you are comparing options, consider the nature of your product (weight, shape, edges) and how the bag will be handled (manual packing, automated packing, storage duration, transit conditions).
Understanding Size and Thickness (Choosing the Right Option)
Bag size
The size is shown in inches and millimetres. When selecting a bag size, allow enough room for the product to slide in easily without forcing, especially if the item is not perfectly flat. If you are packing multiple items together, consider the combined thickness and whether you need extra clearance.
Film thickness (microns)
Micron thickness is a practical indicator of strength and feel. Thicker films can be more resistant to tearing and punctures, while thinner films can be more economical for lightweight items. The right choice depends on your product and handling requirements.
Pack quantity
Variants on this page may include different pack sizes. Higher quantities can be convenient for high-throughput operations and can reduce the frequency of reordering. Smaller packs can be useful for lower-volume users or for trialling a specification before standardising.
Floor Type Compatibility
This section is not applicable to poly bags (it is more relevant to flooring products). For packaging operations, the more relevant “compatibility” considerations are your packing method and environment:
- Manual packing benches: clear bags are quick to use and easy to verify
- Pick/pack stations: visibility supports accuracy and speed
- Storage bins and shelving: helps keep items clean and grouped
- Secondary packaging: can be used inside cartons, mailing bags or shrink wrap
Health and Safety
As with all plastic bags, use sensible handling and storage practices:
- Keep away from heat sources and open flames.
- Store in a clean, dry area to maintain packaging quality.
- Choking hazard: keep plastic bags away from babies and young children.
- Workplace safety: keep packing areas tidy to reduce slip/trip risks from loose packaging.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Order fulfilment and dispatch
Use clear poly bags to protect items before placing them into outer packaging. This can help reduce dust and scuffing and can improve the unboxing experience by keeping products neatly contained.
Inventory organisation
For warehouses, workshops and stores, clear bags are a simple way to group parts, accessories or components. Visibility makes it easier to identify stock without opening each bag.
Retail presentation
Clear packaging can provide a clean, uniform look for products on shelves or in back-of-house storage. It can also help protect items from handling while still allowing customers or staff to see the product.
Printed materials and inserts
Leaflets, manuals and paperwork can be kept clean and together with the product, reducing the chance of missing inserts during packing.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Poly bags are typically used as a single-use or short-term protective packaging. To keep them in good condition before use:
- Store cartons/packs of bags sealed until needed to reduce dust contamination.
- Avoid compressing packs under heavy loads, which can crease or distort the film.
- Keep away from sharp objects that could puncture the film during storage.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
Scenario: A small eCommerce operation dispatching mixed product lines.
Challenge: Reduce picking errors and improve presentation without adding bulky packaging.
Approach: Each item is placed into a clear poly bag at the pick station. The bagged item is then grouped with any accessories and paperwork before being placed into the outer mailer/carton.
Result: Faster visual checks at packing, fewer missing components, and cleaner presentation on arrival.
