500G Polythene Bags
30x50 Clear Poly Bags (500g / 127 micron) — Product Overview
These clear polythene bags are a heavy-duty, transparent packaging option designed for protecting, storing and presenting items where visibility matters. This product is commonly referenced by its imperial size (30 x 50) and is also listed as 762 x 1270mm, with a 500g (127 micron) film thickness. The clear finish helps with quick identification of contents, while the thicker gauge provides improved puncture resistance compared with lighter-weight poly bags.
Because this is a configurable product listing, pack quantities and ordering options may vary by selection. Please refer to the variant/pack option shown on this page for the exact pack size and pricing.
Key Features
Clear visibility:
Transparent film makes it easy to identify contents without opening the bag—useful for stock control, picking/packing and general organisation.
Heavy-duty 500g / 127 micron film:
A thicker polythene gauge suited to more demanding packaging tasks, helping reduce tearing and improving durability during handling and storage.
Large-format capacity (30 x 50 / 762 x 1270mm):
Generous bag dimensions for bulky, oversized or multiple items, including long or wide products that won’t fit standard small poly bags.
Versatile protection:
Helps shield products from dust, light moisture and scuffs during storage, transit and on-site handling.
Simple, flexible packaging:
Ideal where you need a quick, lightweight outer wrap that conforms to the shape of the item.

30x50 Clear Poly Bags (500g / 127 micron) — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right polythene bag is about balancing visibility, durability and fit. This guide explains what the 30x50 clear poly bag specification means, how the thicker 500g (127 micron) film performs, and where these bags are typically used in packaging and storage workflows.
How It Works
Polythene bags provide a simple protective barrier around goods. Items are placed inside the bag to reduce exposure to dust and surface contamination and to help prevent scuffs during handling. The clear film allows the contents to remain visible, which can speed up picking, checking and inventory processes.
For many operations, clear poly bags are used as an outer protective layer rather than a primary shipping container. They can be combined with cartons, mailers or pallets depending on the level of protection required.
Materials and Construction
This product is a clear polythene bag made from plastic film at a stated thickness of 500g / 127 micron (127mu). In practical terms, a higher micron value generally indicates a thicker, more robust film. The thicker gauge is often selected when packaging heavier items, items with corners/edges, or when bags will be handled repeatedly.
Clear polythene is valued for its flexibility and its ability to conform around irregular shapes. It also provides a clean, professional appearance for storage and presentation.
Understanding the Size (Imperial and Metric)
The size is commonly shown as 30 x 50 and also listed as 762 x 1270mm. This dual notation helps customers who work in either imperial or metric measurements. When selecting a bag size, consider not only the flat dimensions but also the thickness/bulk of the item being packed. Bulky items may require additional allowance so the bag can close comfortably without overstressing seams.
Film Thickness: Why 127 Micron Matters
Thickness is one of the most important performance indicators for poly bags. A 127 micron film is typically chosen for heavier-duty tasks where a lighter bag could tear or puncture. If you are packaging items with sharp corners, dense contents, or products that will be moved frequently, the thicker gauge can help reduce packaging failures and product damage.
Floor Type Compatibility
These bags are used across many environments—warehouses, workshops, retail stockrooms and production areas. If bags are stored or used on rough floors or near abrasive surfaces, a thicker film can be beneficial. For best results, keep bags away from sharp debris and avoid dragging packed items across concrete or rough ground.
Health and Safety
- Keep away from children: Plastic bags can present a suffocation hazard.
- Handling: Take care when packing sharp or pointed items; consider additional inner protection if needed.
- Workplace use: Maintain good housekeeping to prevent slips/trips caused by loose packaging materials.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Large, clear, heavy-duty poly bags are commonly used for:
- Industrial components: Protecting parts, assemblies and fabricated items during storage.
- Textiles and soft goods: Keeping items clean and visible for sorting and distribution.
- Bulk storage: Grouping multiple items together to simplify handling and identification.
- Transit preparation: Providing a protective outer layer before placing goods into cartons or onto pallets.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Polythene bags are typically single-use or limited re-use depending on the application. Store unused bags in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and excessive heat to help maintain film performance. If re-using bags, inspect for punctures, tears or weakened areas before re-packing.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
Scenario: A warehouse needs to protect large items during internal transfers between storage and dispatch.
- Items are placed into clear bags so labels and product details remain visible.
- The thicker 127 micron film helps reduce tearing when items are moved on trolleys or pallets.
- Teams can quickly verify contents without opening the packaging, improving accuracy and reducing handling time.
Who Is It For?
- Warehouses and distribution centres needing clear, durable protective packaging
- Manufacturing and assembly operations packing larger components
- Retail stockrooms and back-of-house teams organising bulky inventory
- Workshops and trade counters requiring quick, flexible bagging
