200G Polythene Bags
7x60 Clear Poly Bags (200 Gauge / 51 Micron) — Product Overview
These clear polythene bags are a long-format, lightweight protective sleeve designed for packing, storing and protecting items that need extra length coverage. Manufactured from clear polyethylene film at approximately 200 gauge (around 51 micron), they provide a practical balance of flexibility and durability for everyday industrial, warehouse and retail packing tasks.
The clear film helps you identify contents quickly without opening the bag, making them useful for organised storage, picking and dispatch. This product page may represent multiple pack quantities, so please select the option that best suits your usage and throughput.
Key Features
- Long-format protection: A long bag profile suited to items that need extended coverage and protection from dust and handling marks.

- Clear polyethylene: Transparent film supports fast visual identification for stock control, picking and presentation.
- Flexible and easy to handle: Poly film conforms around products, helping reduce snagging compared with rigid packaging.
- Space-efficient storage: Supplied flat, these bags store neatly and take up minimal space at the packing bench.
- Versatile packing workflow: Suitable for manual packing and straightforward sealing methods depending on your process.
Typical Uses
- Protecting long items during storage and transit

7x60 Clear Poly Bags — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right polythene bag is about matching film thickness, clarity and format to your product and handling conditions. The 7x60 clear poly bag format is designed for long items and provides a simple, cost-effective way to protect goods from dust, light moisture exposure and scuffs that can occur during routine handling.
How It Works
Poly bags act as a protective barrier around your product. Items are inserted into the bag and then stored, packed into cartons, or prepared for dispatch. Depending on your packing process, bags can be left open for quick access, closed with tape or labels, or sealed using appropriate sealing equipment and methods.
Because the film is clear, you can confirm the contents at a glance—helpful for reducing picking errors and speeding up packing workflows.
Materials and Construction
These bags are made from clear polyethylene film. Polyethylene is widely used in packaging because it is lightweight, flexible and resistant to tearing under normal handling. The film thickness for this product is listed as approximately 200 gauge (around 51 micron), which is commonly considered a medium-weight option for general protective packaging.
Clear film is particularly useful where product identification, barcodes, labels or visual inspection are important.
Understanding Thickness: 200 Gauge / 51 Micron
Film thickness is one of the most important factors when selecting a poly bag. Thicker film generally offers improved puncture resistance and durability, while thinner film can be more economical and easier to conform tightly around products.
- 200 gauge: A commonly used gauge rating for medium-weight polythene bags.
- 51 micron: The metric thickness measurement shown for this product.
If your items have sharp edges, heavy corners or are handled frequently, a medium-weight film can help reduce the risk of splits compared with lighter grades.
Floor Type Compatibility
This product is a packaging bag rather than a flooring product, so floor compatibility is not applicable. However, these bags are well suited to typical packing environments such as warehouse floors, packing benches and dispatch areas where clean, organised handling is required.
Health and Safety
- Suffocation hazard: Keep plastic bags away from babies, children and vulnerable individuals.
- Workplace handling: In busy packing areas, keep loose film and empty bags tidy to reduce slip/trip risks.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry area away from excessive heat and direct sunlight to help maintain film performance.
If you are packing food or medical items, confirm suitability for your specific compliance requirements before use.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
The long 7x60 format is typically chosen when standard short bags are not practical. It is especially useful when you want a simple protective sleeve that keeps items clean and grouped without adding bulk.
- Storage protection: Helps keep items free from dust and light surface contamination.
- Picking and kitting: Group parts or components together for faster assembly or dispatch.
- Transit preparation: Use as an inner protective layer before placing items into cartons or outer packaging.
- Presentation: Clear film can improve presentation for trade counters and stock rooms where visibility matters.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Poly bags are typically single-use or limited re-use depending on your process and the condition of the bag after handling. For best results:
- Keep bags in their original packaging until needed to reduce dust build-up.
- Avoid dragging film across rough surfaces that may cause abrasion or punctures.
- Do not expose to high heat sources.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
A warehouse team handling long, narrow stock items needed a quick way to keep products clean and easy to identify during picking. By using clear long-format poly bags at the packing bench, they were able to sleeve items immediately after picking, apply an external label for order identification, and stage goods for dispatch with reduced handling marks and fewer picking checks—because contents remained visible through the clear film.
