Grip-Seal Polythene Bags
Overview
Pro-Loc grip seal poly bags are clear, resealable polythene bags designed for quick packing, secure closure and easy access to contents. This listing covers the No4 size in the Pro-Loc range (commonly referenced as 3.5 x 4.5 in / 89 x 114 mm). They’re a practical choice for organising, protecting and presenting small parts and products in retail, trade, warehouse and office environments. The integrated grip-seal closure allows the bag to be opened and resealed repeatedly without additional tape or ties, helping to keep items clean, contained and easy to identify.

No4 Pro-Loc Grip Seal Poly Bags — Full Product Guide
Grip-seal bags (also called grip lock, zip lock or resealable polythene bags) are a staple packaging format because they combine speed, convenience and tidy presentation. The Pro-Loc range is designed to make day-to-day packing simple: open the bag, insert the contents, press the seal closed and you’re done. For operations that handle many small items—whether that’s a trade counter, a picking bench, a workshop or a busy stockroom—this style of bag can reduce packing time while keeping items separated and easy to identify.
How it works
The closure is formed by two interlocking plastic tracks near the top of the bag. When you press along the seal, the tracks engage to create a secure closure that can be reopened and resealed as needed. This makes grip-seal bags ideal for items that may need to be accessed multiple times—such as parts kits, samples, spares or products that customers may open and close.
Because the bag is clear, you can quickly confirm the contents without opening it. This is particularly useful for stock control, picking accuracy and general organisation.
Materials and construction
These bags are made from polythene (polyethylene), a flexible plastic commonly used for protective packaging. Polythene is valued for being lightweight and resistant to moisture in everyday handling. The bag construction is designed to be simple and practical: a clear film body with an integrated grip-seal closure at the opening.
Polythene bags are widely used across industries because they provide a clean barrier against dust and handling marks while keeping packaging weight low. They also store flat, which helps reduce storage space compared with rigid containers.
Floor type compatibility
This product is not floor-specific. However, it is well suited to environments where items are handled at benches, packing stations, trade counters and shelving locations. In warehouses and workshops, grip-seal bags can be used with bins, drawers and racking systems to keep small parts grouped and labelled.
Health and safety
As with all plastic bags, keep away from babies and young children to avoid suffocation risk. If you are packing items with sharp edges, consider whether additional protection is required to prevent punctures. For workplaces, ensure packed items are labelled appropriately where needed (for example, if parts are safety-critical or if you are bundling multiple components together).
Ideal applications and use cases
Trade, workshop and engineering
Grip-seal bags are excellent for kitting and issuing small components—fixings, fasteners, clips, O-rings and connectors—especially when you want customers or technicians to be able to open and reseal the pack without damaging it.
Retail and e-commerce fulfilment
For small items, a clear resealable bag can improve presentation and reduce the chance of parts being lost in transit. They’re also useful for bundling accessories with a main product (for example, spare screws or small fittings) so everything arrives together.
Office, education and general organisation
From stationery items to small teaching resources, resealable bags help keep sets complete and easy to store. Because the contents are visible, it’s easier to return items to the correct place.
Craft, hobby and home storage
Ideal for sorting beads, buttons, small model parts, jewellery findings and other small pieces. The resealable closure helps prevent spills and keeps items grouped.
Maintenance, cleaning and care
Grip-seal bags are designed for convenience. In many settings they are used as single-use packaging, but they can also be reused for organisation where appropriate. Store unused bags in a clean, dry area away from direct heat and sunlight to help maintain the film’s condition. If reusing, ensure the bag is clean and dry before repacking items, and check the seal area is free from debris so it closes properly.
Case study (typical workflow example)
Small parts kitting for a trade counter
A trade counter regularly supplies mixed fixings for common jobs. Staff pre-kit sets of components into grip-seal bags so each kit contains the correct quantity of parts. Because the bags are clear, staff can visually confirm the kit contents at a glance. Customers can open the bag on-site to check parts and reseal it for transport, reducing the chance of losing small pieces. The result is faster service at the counter and fewer missing-part issues.
Who is it for?
- Workshops and engineers who need to keep small components organised
- Retailers and e-commerce sellers packing small items or accessories
- Warehouses and stockrooms improving picking accuracy and part separation
- Schools, offices and facilities teams storing small supplies
- Home users and hobbyists who want tidy, resealable storage

Sizes available
Grip-seal bags are typically offered in a range of sizes within the Pro-Loc series. This product page relates to the No4 size. If you need a different size for larger items or for smaller components, choose the most suitable option from the grip-seal bag range.
Choosing the right grip-seal bag
When selecting a size, consider not only the item’s dimensions but also how easily it needs to be inserted and removed. If you are packing multiple parts together, allow extra room so the seal can close comfortably without stressing the film. For items with corners or edges, consider whether a slightly larger bag will reduce the risk of puncture during handling.
