500G Polythene Bags
Clear Poly Bags (Approx. 12 x 6 in / 305 x 152mm) — 500g (127µ) Paper Wrapped
These clear polythene bags are a practical, everyday packaging choice when you need a clean presentation and dependable protection for products in storage, transit, or point-of-sale packing. Made in a heavy-duty 500g / 127 micron (127µ) gauge, they offer a noticeably sturdier feel than lighter poly bags, helping reduce splits and punctures when packing sharper-edged or heavier items.
Supplied paper wrapped, they’re easy to handle at the packing bench: bundles stay neat, countable, and protected from dust until you’re ready to use them. The clear film helps with quick identification of contents, improving picking speed and reducing packing errors.

Clear Poly Bags — Full Product Guide
Introduction
Choosing the right polythene bag is about balancing clarity, strength, and ease of use at the packing station. This listing covers a clear poly bag supplied in a heavier 127µ gauge and delivered paper wrapped for convenient handling. Use the guide below to confirm suitability for your products, workflow, and storage conditions.
How It Works
Poly bags provide a simple protective barrier around goods. The clear film allows visual inspection without opening, while the heavier gauge helps the bag hold up during packing, stacking, and movement through dispatch. Paper-wrapped bundles keep bags aligned and easier to grab one-by-one, supporting faster packing and a tidier bench.
Materials and Construction
These are clear polythene bags made from a flexible plastic film. The key performance indicator here is thickness: 127 microns is a robust gauge commonly chosen when lighter bags feel too flimsy for the job. A thicker film can help reduce tearing when inserting products and can better tolerate handling in busy packing environments.
If you are packing items with corners, edges, or higher weight, a heavier gauge is often preferred to help maintain integrity during transit and reduce the chance of split seams or punctures.
Floor Type Compatibility (Warehouse & Packing Areas)
Poly bags are suitable for use across typical packing environments—benches, shelving, picking trolleys, and dispatch areas. Paper-wrapped bundles can be particularly helpful where you want to keep packaging clean and controlled, such as shared packing stations or areas with high throughput.
Health and Safety
- Keep away from children: Plastic bags can present a suffocation hazard.
- Workplace handling: Store bundles neatly to reduce slip/trip risks from loose packaging.
- Product suitability: If packing food or medical items, confirm the required compliance for your application before use.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Warehousing & stock control
Use clear bags to group SKUs, protect labels, and keep items together in bins or on shelves. Visibility helps teams identify stock quickly.
Ecommerce & mail order
Ideal as an inner protective bag for items going into mailing bags or cartons—helping keep products clean and presentable on arrival.
Workshops & service departments
Useful for spares packs, repair kits, and component sets where you want to keep parts together and easy to check.
Retail operations
A clear outer bag can support neat presentation and quick scanning/verification at the counter or in back-of-house prep.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to help maintain film performance.
- Handling: Avoid overfilling; allow enough space so the bag isn’t under constant tension.
- Dispensing: Keep paper-wrapped bundles intact until use to reduce contamination and keep counts organised.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
A small ecommerce operation uses heavy-gauge clear poly bags to protect items before placing them into cartons. The team keeps paper-wrapped bundles at each packing bench. Pickers can visually confirm the correct item through the bag, then pack quickly without searching through loose stacks of bags. The heavier gauge helps reduce damage when packing products with sharper edges, lowering rework and returns caused by torn inner packaging.
Who is it for?
- Businesses that need a stronger-than-standard clear poly bag for daily packing
- Teams that value fast identification of contents for picking and QA checks
- Operations that want tidy, controlled dispensing via paper-wrapped bundles
