250G Polythene Bags
Clear Poly Bags (5" x 4" / 127 x 102mm, 250g / 64µ) — Paper Wrapped
These clear polythene bags are a dependable, everyday packaging choice when you need a neat presentation, quick packing, and a simple way to protect items from dust and handling. Supplied paper wrapped for tidy storage and easy dispensing, they’re ideal for busy packing benches where consistency matters. With a 250g (approx. 64 micron) film, they offer a more substantial feel than lighter gauge bags while still remaining flexible and easy to use.
Key Features
Clear presentation:
Transparent film helps you identify contents at a glance—useful for picking, packing, stock control, and customer-facing presentation.
250g / 64µ thickness:
A heavier-gauge polythene that provides added durability for general-purpose protection, helping reduce splits and punctures compared with thinner bags.
Paper wrapped packs:
Paper-wrapped packaging keeps packs tidy in storage and can make it easier to handle and dispense bags at the workstation.
Compact 5" x 4" format:
A practical small-bag size for parts, components, samples, and small retail items—helping keep products grouped and protected.
General-purpose protection:
Helps shield items from dust, light moisture, and scuffs during storage, internal handling, and distribution.

Clear Poly Bags — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right polythene bag is about balancing presentation, protection, and practicality at the packing bench. This listing covers clear poly bags in a compact 5" x 4" size (127 x 102mm), made from a heavier 250g polythene (approx. 64µ) and supplied paper wrapped. Below is a detailed guide to help you decide if this is the right option for your workflow.
How It Works
Polythene bags provide a simple barrier around your product. You place the item inside, then close the bag using your preferred method (for example, folding, taping, or using a separate closure solution depending on your process). The clear film keeps the contents visible, which can speed up picking and reduce packing errors—especially when multiple similar items are handled at once.
Because these bags are supplied paper wrapped, packs stay neat and are easier to store on shelves or at a packing station. This can help maintain a clean work area and reduce time spent separating or untangling loose bags.
Materials and Construction
Material: Polythene (poly) film in a clear finish.
Gauge / thickness: Listed as 250g and approximately 64 micron (64µ). In practical terms, this is a sturdier film intended for general-purpose protection where a more substantial bag is preferred.
Finish: Clear film for visibility and presentation.
Pack format: Paper wrapped, helping keep packs tidy and easier to handle.
Polythene is widely used in packaging because it’s lightweight, flexible, and cost-effective. A heavier gauge can be particularly useful when items have corners, edges, or weight that might stress a thinner bag.
Size and Fit Guidance
This product is listed as 5" x 4" (127 x 102mm). When selecting a bag size, consider:
- Product dimensions: Allow enough room for the item to slide in without forcing it.
- Bulk and shape: Irregular shapes or items with protrusions may need extra clearance.
- Closure method: If you plan to fold over the top or apply a label, leave headspace.
If you’re packing multiple items together (e.g., a small kit), it’s often better to size up slightly to avoid stressing seams and to make packing faster.
Protection and Performance
These clear poly bags are designed for everyday protection and organisation. The 64µ film helps provide:
- Improved tear resistance compared with lighter gauge bags
- Better puncture resistance for general handling and storage
- Reduced risk of splits when packing items with mild edges or corners
As with any flexible packaging, performance depends on the item being packed and how it’s handled. For sharp or heavy items, consider additional protection (such as wrapping the item first) to reduce the chance of punctures.
Workstation Efficiency
In many operations, the real cost of packaging is time. Clear bags can speed up:
- Picking: Contents are visible without opening
- Quality checks: Quick confirmation of parts and quantities
- Labelling: Labels and barcodes remain easy to scan and read
- Returns handling: Items can be inspected without re-packing immediately
The paper-wrapped format can also help keep packs aligned and accessible, reducing wasted motion at the bench.
Floor Type Compatibility
These bags are suitable for use across typical environments including warehouses, workshops, retail backrooms, and office stores. If you operate in areas with high dust levels or frequent foot traffic, keeping packs paper wrapped and stored in a clean container can help maintain presentation and reduce contamination.
Health and Safety
As with all plastic bags, keep away from babies and children due to suffocation risk. In a workplace setting, ensure loose packaging is stored safely to reduce slip and trip hazards. If you are packing items that may have sharp edges, consider gloves or additional protective handling procedures.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
- Engineering and maintenance: Bagging small parts, fixings, and spares
- Retail and e-commerce: Presenting small items neatly while keeping them protected
- Manufacturing: Keeping components grouped by job, batch, or work order
- Office and facilities: Organising stationery, cables, and small supplies
- Sampling and kitting: Creating sample packs or small kits for distribution
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Polythene bags are typically single-use or limited re-use depending on your process and cleanliness requirements. For best results:
- Store packs in a clean, dry area away from direct heat sources.
- Avoid overfilling—stress on seams can reduce performance.
- If re-using, inspect for punctures, tears, or contamination before re-packing.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
Scenario: A small parts distributor needs to pack mixed hardware orders quickly while reducing picking errors.
Approach: Items are picked into clear poly bags so packers can visually confirm contents before sealing and labelling. The heavier 64µ film helps reduce splits when packing metal fixings, while the paper-wrapped packs keep the workstation tidy and make it easier to grab the next bag.
Outcome: Faster verification, cleaner presentation, and fewer re-packs caused by torn bags during handling.
Who Is It For?
- Warehouses and stockrooms that need quick identification of contents
- Retailers and e-commerce sellers wanting a clean, simple presentation
