200G Polythene Bags
Clear Side-Weld Polythene Bags (200g range) — Product Overview
These clear side-weld (S/W) polythene bags are a practical, everyday packaging choice when you need a neat, transparent bag for protecting, presenting, and organising items. The bag format is designed to be simple to use: open, insert, and seal (if you’re using tape, labels, or a heat sealer depending on your process). The clear film helps with fast identification of contents, making these bags especially useful in busy packing environments where speed and accuracy matter.
This product page represents a configurable range, so you can select the option that best suits your packing workflow. The key specification for this listing is the clear polythene construction in a medium-weight film (commonly referenced as 200g range / ~50 micron class), offering a balance between flexibility and durability for general-purpose use.
Key Features
Clear film for easy identification
Transparent polythene makes it easy to see what’s inside without opening the bag—helpful for picking, packing, stock checks, and returns processing.
Side-weld (side-seal) construction
Side-weld bags are made with sealed sides and an open top, giving a clean, consistent shape that’s easy to load and stack. This style is widely used for parts, components, and retail presentation where a tidy finish is important.
Medium-weight polythene (200g / ~50 micron class)
A popular thickness band for day-to-day packaging: flexible enough to handle quickly, while offering improved puncture resistance compared with lighter films.
General-purpose protection
Helps protect contents from dust, light handling scuffs, and moisture exposure during storage and transit (note: not intended as a hermetic barrier for liquids).
Works with common sealing methods
Depending on your packing process, these bags can be closed using labels, tape, staples (where appropriate), or heat sealing equipment.

Clear Side-Weld Polythene Bags — Full Product Guide
Introduction
Choosing the right polythene bag is about matching the bag style and film weight to your product and packing routine. Side-weld bags are a common choice for consistent presentation and efficient packing. This guide explains what side-weld means, how medium-weight film performs, and how to decide whether this bag type is right for your application.
How It Works
Side-weld bags are supplied flat with an open top. You insert the item, then close the opening using your preferred method. In many packing environments, the closure method is selected based on speed, tamper evidence requirements, and whether the bag needs to be reopened (for example, during quality checks or returns).
Materials and Construction
Polythene film
These bags are made from clear polythene film. Polythene is valued for being lightweight, flexible, and cost-effective while still offering practical protection for a wide range of goods.
Side-weld seams
The side seams are heat sealed (welded) to form the bag shape. This construction supports a clean profile and helps the bag keep its form when filled.
Film Thickness / Strength (200g / ~50 micron class)
Film thickness is one of the most important factors in bag performance. A medium-weight film in the ~50 micron class is commonly chosen when you want a sturdier feel than lightweight bags, without moving into heavy-duty grades. It can be a good fit for items with corners or edges, or where bags are handled frequently during picking and packing.
Floor Type Compatibility
These bags are typically used at packing benches, in warehouses, and in retail back-of-house areas. They work well in environments where items are picked from shelving and packed at a station. If you use automated bagging or sealing equipment, confirm compatibility with your machine settings and sealing method.
Health and Safety
- Keep away from children: Plastic bags can present a suffocation hazard.
- Workplace handling: Store bags in a clean, dry area to reduce slip hazards from loose packaging on floors.
- Heat sealing: If using heat sealers, follow equipment guidance and allow sealing bars to cool before handling.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Warehousing and fulfilment
Clear bags help teams verify contents quickly, reducing packing errors and speeding up dispatch.
Retail presentation
A clear, tidy bag can improve presentation for small items and accessories, especially when paired with a label.
Manufacturing and assembly
Useful for kitting components together so each assembly has the correct parts.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
- Store flat in original packaging to keep bags clean and easy to dispense.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high heat, which can affect plastic over time.
- Keep away from sharp tools and rough surfaces to reduce accidental punctures.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
A small parts distributor uses clear side-weld polythene bags at the picking bench. Pickers place counted items into the bag, apply a printed label to the outside, and group multiple bagged lines into an outer shipping carton. The clear film allows a quick visual check before sealing the carton, helping reduce mis-picks and improving packing speed.
Who is it for?
- Warehouses and fulfilment teams needing fast, visible packing
- Retailers packaging small goods and accessories
- Workshops and manufacturers organising parts and kits
- Anyone needing a general-purpose clear bag with a sturdier film feel
Colours / Features Available
This listing is for clear polythene bags. Clear film is ideal when you want visibility of contents for identification, scanning, or presentation.
Sizes Available
This product page may include multiple selectable options within the same family. Choose the size/pack option that matches your item dimensions and packing method. If you are packing products with sharp corners or bulky shapes, allow extra room for easy loading and closure.
Need help choosing?
If you’re unsure which option is best, consider the item’s width, length, and how you plan to close the bag (label, tape, or heat seal). Selecting a slightly larger bag can make packing faster and reduce stress on seams.
