500G Polythene Bags
Clear Polythene Bags (500g / 127µ) — Paper Wrapped
These clear polythene bags are a popular choice when you need a strong, neat-looking bag for packing, protecting and presenting products. Made from heavy-duty clear polythene in the 500g (127 micron) range, they offer a dependable barrier against dust and handling marks while keeping contents clearly visible for quick identification.
Supplied paper wrapped for tidy storage and easier handling in busy packing areas, these bags are well suited to warehouses, fulfilment operations, retail backrooms and production environments where consistency and presentation matter.
Key Features
Heavy-duty 500g (127µ) film:
Thicker polythene helps resist tearing and punctures during packing, storage and transit, making it a practical option for heavier or sharper-edged items compared with lighter gauge bags.
Clear for fast identification:
Transparency supports quick picking and checking without opening the bag—useful for stock control, kitting and order accuracy.
Paper wrapped supply:
Paper wrapping helps keep packs organised and clean on the shelf, and can make it easier to dispense bags in a controlled way at the packing bench.
Versatile protection:
Helps protect products from dust, light moisture and scuffs during handling and storage (polythene bags are not a substitute for fully waterproof or airtight packaging where that is required).
Compatible with common sealing methods:
Depending on your process, these bags can typically be closed using bag neck sealers/ties, tape, labels, or heat sealing equipment (choose the closure method that suits your workflow and compliance needs).

Clear Polythene Bags (500g / 127µ) — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right polythene bag is about balancing protection, usability and presentation. This listing covers clear bags in the 500g (127µ) range supplied paper wrapped—an excellent all-round option when you want a noticeably stronger film than standard light-duty bags, while still keeping contents visible.
How It Works
Polythene bags provide a simple protective layer around your product. Once the item is placed inside, the bag can be closed using your preferred method (for example, ties, tape, labels or heat sealing). The clear film allows you to identify contents quickly, which can reduce handling time and help maintain order accuracy in busy environments.
Because these bags are supplied paper wrapped, packs can be stored neatly and brought to the packing station as needed. This can help keep bags clean and reduce the chance of loose bags becoming creased or contaminated in storage.
Materials and Construction
Material: Clear polythene film.
Gauge: 500g (127 micron) range.
The heavier gauge is designed to offer improved durability for everyday packing tasks. Clear polythene is widely used because it is flexible, lightweight and provides good visibility of the packed item.
Strength and Protection (What to Expect)
In practical terms, a thicker film can help reduce split seams and punctures when packing items with corners, edges or higher weight. It also helps the bag keep its shape better during handling. As with any flexible packaging, performance depends on the product being packed and how it is handled—if you are packing particularly sharp or heavy items, consider testing a sample and reviewing whether an even heavier-duty option is required.
Floor Type Compatibility
These bags are used at packing benches, in warehouses and in retail environments rather than being a floor-applied product. For best results in operational areas:
- Store packs in a clean, dry location to keep bags free from dust and debris.
- Use a dedicated dispensing area to reduce loose packaging on the floor.
- Keep sealing tools (tape, ties, heat sealer) close to the packing point to streamline workflow.
Health and Safety
- Suffocation hazard: Keep plastic bags away from babies, children and vulnerable individuals.
- Workplace handling: Avoid overfilling; do not pack sharp items without appropriate protection (e.g., inner wrap) to reduce puncture risk.
- Heat sealing: If using heat sealers, follow equipment guidance and allow seals to cool before handling.
- Storage: Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight where possible to maintain packaging condition.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Clear 500g (127µ) polythene bags are commonly chosen for:
- Warehousing & fulfilment: Bagging items for pick/pack, returns processing, and stock segregation.
- Retail & e-commerce: Presenting products neatly while keeping them protected from handling marks.
- Manufacturing & assembly: Keeping components together for kits, sub-assemblies and spares.
- Trade counters: Quick bagging of parts and accessories where visibility speeds service.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
- Keep unopened packs paper wrapped until needed to help maintain cleanliness.
- Store flat to reduce creasing and to make dispensing easier.
- If bags are used in dusty environments, consider keeping a smaller working quantity at the bench and replenishing from clean storage.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
Scenario: A small fulfilment team needs to protect items during picking and staging while keeping SKUs visible for checking.
- Pickers place items into clear bags at the shelf to keep products clean and grouped.
- At the packing bench, the team verifies contents visually without opening the bag.
- Bags are closed using the site’s preferred method and labelled for dispatch.
Outcome: Faster checking, fewer handling marks, and a tidier packing area due to paper wrapped packs being easier to store and dispense.
