500G Polythene Bags
Clear Heavy-Duty Poly Bags (Approx. 5" x 13") — Product Overview
These clear heavy-duty polythene bags are designed for reliable protection, tidy presentation, and efficient packing in busy workplaces. Made from thick clear polythene (listed as 500g / 127µ), they provide a robust barrier against dust and light moisture while keeping contents visible for quick identification. The format is ideal for packing, storing, and organising long or narrow items where a strong, transparent bag helps speed up picking and despatch.
Key Features
Heavy-duty thickness (127 micron / 500 gauge class)
A thicker film helps resist tearing and punctures during handling, making these bags a dependable choice for heavier or sharper-edged items compared with standard light-duty poly bags.
Clear film for fast identification
Transparency supports efficient stock control and order picking—contents can be checked at a glance without opening the bag.
Practical long format
The proportions suit items that are longer than they are wide, helping reduce wasted space and keeping products neatly aligned in storage or transit.
Simple, versatile packaging
A straightforward clear bag is easy to integrate into existing packing processes and works well with labels, barcodes, and batch markings.
Bulk supply for operational efficiency
Supplied in high-quantity packs to support regular use in packing benches, warehouses, workshops, and retail back-of-house environments.

Clear Heavy-Duty Poly Bags — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right polythene bag is about balancing protection, presentation, and practicality. This heavy-duty clear bag option is specified at 127µ thickness, which is commonly associated with heavy-duty “500 gauge class” polythene. That extra thickness can make a noticeable difference in day-to-day use—especially when bags are handled frequently, packed tightly, or used with products that have corners or edges.
How It Works
These bags provide a simple protective enclosure for goods. The clear polythene film acts as a barrier that helps keep contents together and reduces exposure to dust and light moisture. Because the film is transparent, teams can identify items quickly, confirm quantities, and apply labels without needing to open the packaging.
Materials and Construction
The product is listed as clear polythene at 127 microns (127µ). In practical terms, micron thickness is a key indicator of durability: thicker films generally offer improved tear resistance and puncture resistance compared with thinner alternatives. The clear finish supports presentation and operational visibility.
Floor Type Compatibility
Not applicable—this is a packaging product rather than a flooring product. However, it is well suited to use in warehouses, packing areas, and production environments where clean, organised storage and efficient despatch are important.
Health and Safety
- Keep polythene bags away from babies and children to reduce suffocation risk.
- Use appropriate handling practices when packing sharp items; while heavy-duty film helps, no bag is puncture-proof.
- Where required, apply labels clearly (e.g., product ID, batch, handling notes) to support safe storage and traceability.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
These heavy-duty clear poly bags are a strong fit for operations that need a dependable, no-fuss bag for packing and storage. They are commonly used for:
- Warehousing & fulfilment: picking, kitting, and protecting items in transit cartons
- Manufacturing & assembly: keeping parts grouped and clean between process steps
- Engineering & maintenance: organising spares, fixings, and components
- Retail back-of-house: storing and protecting stock while keeping it visible
- General trade use: sorting and issuing items on jobs
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
- Store bags in a clean, dry area away from direct heat sources.
- Keep cartons closed when not in use to reduce dust contamination.
- For best presentation, avoid overfilling—this helps reduce stress on seams and corners.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
A small fulfilment team uses heavy-duty clear poly bags to speed up order processing for long, narrow items. Items are picked, checked visually through the bag, labelled, and then placed into an outer carton. The thicker film reduces the number of split bags during packing, while the clear finish helps the team confirm the correct item quickly—supporting fewer packing errors and smoother despatch.
Who is it for?
- Warehouses and e-commerce operations needing clear, durable inner packaging
- Manufacturers and workshops that want to keep parts clean and organised
- Retailers and stockrooms that benefit from quick visual identification

Need help choosing?
If you’re unsure which thickness or bag format best suits your product, consider the item’s weight, whether it has sharp edges, and how the bag will be handled (storage only vs. frequent packing/despatch). A heavier-duty micron rating is typically preferred for more demanding handling conditions.
