500G Polythene Bags
Clear Poly Bags (500g / 127 micron) with 30% Recycled Content — Paper Wrapped
These heavy-duty clear polythene bags are designed for reliable protection, clean presentation, and efficient handling in busy packing environments. Made from strong film in the 500g (127 micron) grade and supplied paper wrapped, they’re a practical choice for warehousing, manufacturing, e-commerce fulfilment, and general storage where you want a tough bag with good clarity. The film includes 30% recycled content, helping you balance performance with more responsible material use.
Because this is a configurable product listing, sizes and pack options may vary—select the option that best suits your application.
Key Features
Heavy-duty 500g (127 micron) film:
A thicker gauge designed to resist tearing and punctures during packing, handling, and storage—ideal when lighter bags aren’t robust enough.
Clear for easy identification:
Transparent film helps you quickly identify contents, support stock control, and present products neatly without opening the bag.
30% recycled content:
Incorporates recycled material while maintaining a strong, practical bag for everyday industrial and commercial use.
Paper wrapped supply:
Paper wrapping helps keep bags clean and organised in storage and at the packing bench, supporting tidy dispensing and handling.
Versatile protection:
Helps shield items from dust, light moisture, and scuffs during storage, internal transfers, and distribution.
- Strong 500g / 127 micron polythene for demanding packing tasks
- Clear film for fast content recognition and professional presentation
- 30% recycled content to support material efficiency goals
- Paper wrapped for cleaner storage and easier handling
- Suitable for a wide range of products across warehouse, retail, and manufacturing
Typical Uses
- Protecting parts, components, and assemblies in manufacturing and engineering
- Bagging garments, textiles, and soft goods for storage or dispatch
- Packaging printed materials, posters, and flat items (where a robust bag is needed)
- General warehouse storage, picking, and internal transfers
- E-commerce fulfilment as an inner protective bag (often used inside an outer mailer/carton)
Clear Poly Bags (500g / 127 micron) — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right polythene bag is about matching film strength, clarity, and handling convenience to your workflow. This guide explains what the 500g (127 micron) grade means in practice, how recycled content can affect selection, and how to get the best performance from heavy-duty clear poly bags in day-to-day packing.
How It Works
Polythene bags provide a simple, flexible barrier around your product. Once an item is placed inside, the bag helps protect it from dust and surface abrasion and keeps multiple items grouped together. Clear film supports quick visual checks—useful for picking, quality control, and returns processing.
Depending on your process, bags can be used as:
• Inner protection inside cartons, crates, or mailing bags
• Standalone storage for parts and products on shelves
• Temporary protection during work-in-progress handling
Materials and Construction
These bags are made from polythene film in a heavy-duty grade (500g / 127 micron). The film includes 30% recycled content. In practical terms, this means you get a robust bag with the added benefit of incorporating recycled material. As with many recycled-content films, slight variation in appearance can occur between batches; however, the intent is to maintain a clear, usable bag suitable for packing and storage.
The bags are supplied paper wrapped, which helps keep them protected prior to use and can make them easier to store neatly at the packing station.
Film Thickness (500g / 127 micron) — What It Means
Film thickness is one of the most important factors in bag performance. A thicker film generally offers:
• Better puncture resistance for sharper edges and corners
• Improved tear resistance during handling and transit
• Greater confidence when packing heavier or more awkward items
If you’re currently using lighter bags and experiencing splits, pinholes, or tearing at the opening, moving to a 500g (127 micron) grade can be a practical upgrade.
Clarity and Product Presentation
Clear poly bags are widely used where visibility matters. They allow:
• Fast identification of contents without opening
• Cleaner presentation for customer-facing packing
• Easier stock checks and reduced handling time
For operations that label bags, clear film also helps barcodes and product information remain visible and scannable when labels are applied consistently.
Floor Type Compatibility
These bags are compatible with typical packing and storage environments, including:
• Warehouse shelving and racking
• Packing benches
• Tote bins and picking carts
• Palletised storage
• General back-of-house retail storage
If bags are used on rough surfaces or dragged across floors, consider additional outer protection (such as cartons or crates) to reduce abrasion risk.
Health and Safety
As with all plastic bags, safe handling is important:
• Suffocation hazard: Keep bags away from babies and children.
• Workplace safety: Store packs neatly to reduce slip/trip risks from loose film.
• Manual handling: Avoid overloading bags beyond what your team can safely lift and carry.
If you are packing food or medical items, confirm suitability for your specific compliance requirements before use.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Heavy-duty clear poly bags are a strong fit when you need a balance of protection and visibility. Common use cases include:
- Engineering & manufacturing: bagging components, fixings, and assemblies to keep parts clean and grouped
- Warehousing & logistics: protecting items during internal transfers and storage
- Retail & distribution: keeping products presentable and protected prior to sale or dispatch
- Print & signage: protecting flat items from dust and scuffs
- E-commerce fulfilment: using as an inner bag to reduce scuffing and keep multi-part orders together
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Poly bags are typically single-use or limited re-use depending on your process. To get the best results:
- Store in a clean, dry area to keep film free from dust and debris before use.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight which can affect plastic over time.
- Dispense carefully to prevent snagging on sharp edges at the packing bench.
- Recycle where facilities exist and where the bag is clean and accepted by your local recycling stream.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
Scenario: A warehouse team packs mixed hardware kits containing metal brackets and fixings. Lighter bags were tearing at the corners, causing lost parts and rework.
Solution: Switching to a heavier 500g (127 micron) clear bag reduced punctures and improved packing speed. Clear film allowed quick visual checks at dispatch, while paper wrapped packs kept the bags clean and easy to handle at the bench.
Result: Fewer split bags, fewer missing components, and smoother quality checks—without changing the overall packing process.
Who Is It For?
- Businesses needing stronger-than-standard clear bags for packing and storage
- Operations that value fast identification of contents
- Teams looking for bags with recycled content while maintaining practical performance
- Warehouses and workshops packing items with corners, edges, or moderate weight
