500G Polythene Bags
Overview
These purple opaque polythene bags are heavy-duty, long-length poly bags designed for protecting, covering and containing items where privacy and concealment matter. Made from thick polythene (listed as 600g / 152mu), they provide a robust barrier against dust, dirt and moisture during storage, handling and transit. The opaque purple film helps keep contents out of view, making them useful for colour-coding, segregation and discreet packaging.
Typical uses
Ideal for long or bulky items that need a tough protective cover, including industrial components, rolled materials, parts, and general warehouse storage. Opaque coloured bags are also commonly used for sorting and identification in busy packing environments.
Key Features
Opaque purple film
Helps conceal contents for privacy and a cleaner presentation, while also supporting colour-coding and easy identification in storage or dispatch areas.
Heavy-duty thickness (600g / 152mu)
A thicker polythene specification intended for more demanding applications where extra strength and puncture resistance are required compared with lighter-gauge bags.
Long-length bag format
The extended length is suited to covering long items, protecting products from dust and scuffs, and keeping grouped items together for easier handling.
Polythene protection barrier

Purple Opaque Poly Bags — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right polythene bag is about matching the bag format and thickness to the job. Below is a practical guide to help you decide if these purple opaque heavy-duty poly bags are the right fit for your packing process.
How It Works
These bags act as a protective sleeve around your product. Insert the item, then close the open end using your preferred method (for example, tape, ties, bands or heat sealing if your process supports it). The opaque film reduces visibility of the contents, while the polythene provides a protective outer layer.
Materials and Construction
The bags are made from polythene film and supplied in an opaque purple finish. The listed thickness (600g / 152mu) indicates a heavy-duty grade intended to offer improved durability for tougher handling environments.
Floor Type Compatibility
These bags are suitable for general warehouse and industrial environments. If bags are dragged across rough floors or sharp edges, consider using additional outer protection or handling aids to reduce the risk of punctures.
Health and Safety
- Keep polythene packaging away from babies and children due to suffocation risk.
- Use appropriate manual handling practices when bagging long or heavy items.
- Where required, follow your site’s waste segregation and recycling procedures for plastic film.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
- Warehouse storage: Protect stock from dust and dirt while on racking or in bins.
- Manufacturing and assembly: Keep parts grouped and clean between process steps.
- Distribution and dispatch: Provide a discreet outer cover for items in transit.
- Colour-coded segregation: Use purple bags to separate product lines, returns, or work-in-progress.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Polythene bags are typically single-use or limited re-use depending on your process. Store unused bags in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and excessive heat to help maintain film performance.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
A warehouse team uses opaque coloured bags to separate different product categories during picking. Purple bags are assigned to one category, allowing staff to quickly identify and stage orders. The heavier film helps reduce split bags when items are moved between packing benches and dispatch pallets.
Who is it for?
- Warehouses and distribution centres needing durable protective bags
- Manufacturing and engineering teams handling long components
- Operations that benefit from colour-coding and discreet packaging
