Lightweight Polythene Bags
Overview
These clear polythene poly bags are a lightweight, cost-effective way to protect and present small items. Designed in a popular 4x6 format (approx. 102 x 152mm), they’re ideal for keeping products clean, grouped and easy to handle during packing, storage and dispatch. The transparent film helps with quick identification of contents, making them a practical choice for busy packing benches, retail back rooms and general workplace organisation.
As part of a lightweight 100g (often referenced as 25 micron / 25µ) range, these bags are best suited to non-sharp, non-abrasive items where you want a neat, tidy finish without the extra material of heavier grades.

4x6 - 100g Clear Poly Bags (102x152mm) — Full Product Guide
Lightweight clear poly bags are a staple packaging consumable for businesses that handle lots of small items. This guide explains what the 100g grade means in practice, how to choose the right bag for your application, and how to get the best performance from a light-duty polythene bag.
How It Works
Poly bags provide a simple barrier around your product. Once the item is placed inside, the bag helps protect against dust, light handling marks and minor scuffs during storage and transit. Because the film is clear, you can identify contents without opening the bag—helpful for fast-moving fulfilment environments.
Materials and Construction
These bags are made from clear polythene film in a lightweight 100g category (commonly associated with around 25 micron / 25µ). Lightweight film is designed for everyday packaging tasks where you want a tidy protective layer rather than heavy-duty puncture resistance.
Choosing the right thickness:
If your items have sharp corners, metal edges, or abrasive surfaces, consider stepping up to a heavier grade for improved durability. For soft goods, paper items, lightweight plastics, and many small accessories, a 100g bag is often a practical and economical choice.
Size and Fit Guidance
The 4x6 format (approx. 102 x 152mm) is widely used for small items. For best results, allow enough room for the product to slide in easily without stretching the film. If you’re packing multiple items together, choose a size that accommodates the combined thickness so the bag sits neatly and closes comfortably.
Floor Type Compatibility
These bags are suitable for use across typical packing environments—warehouses, stock rooms, retail back-of-house areas and office dispatch points. They store compactly and can be kept at packing benches, shelving locations or within pick/pack stations for quick access.
Health and Safety
As with all plastic bags, keep away from babies and young children due to suffocation risk. In workplace settings, ensure loose packaging is kept tidy to reduce slip/trip hazards and avoid placing bags near heat sources. If you are packaging food or medical items, confirm suitability for your specific compliance requirements before use.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Retail & eCommerce fulfilment
Use clear bags to keep small accessories, replacement parts, and add-ons together in a parcel, reducing the chance of items being misplaced during packing or returns.
Workshops and maintenance teams
Ideal for organising fixings, fittings and small spares in drawers, toolboxes and job kits—especially when you want quick visual identification.
Manufacturing and kitting
Useful for grouping components into sets, sample packs or assembly kits, helping streamline picking and reduce packing errors.
Office and admin storage
A simple way to protect and organise small stationery items, cables, labels, and small parts used for day-to-day operations.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Poly bags are typically single-use consumables. Store unused bags in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and heat to help maintain film performance. If bags become dusty in storage, keep them in their outer carton or protective wrap until needed.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
A small parts distributor uses clear lightweight poly bags at the packing bench to consolidate multi-line orders. Each line item is bagged and labelled, then grouped into the final shipping carton. The clear film allows quick verification during quality checks, while the lightweight gauge keeps packaging costs controlled for high-volume dispatch.
