What are light duty polythene bags?

Made from clear low density polyethylene (LDPE), these bags give basic abrasion and dust protection without adding weight. They’re perfect as an inner to keep items clean and presentable within an outer carton, mailer or book wrap.

Why choose light duty?

Cost-efficient clarity: show off products while keeping fingerprints and dust off surfaces.

Flexible & quick: easy to load, label and seal; available as open-ended, grip-seal or self-adhesive flap.

Right-weight packaging: reduce DIM/parcel weight vs thicker films when light protection is enough.

Best-use scenarios

Apparel & textiles: tee shirts, knitwear and accessories packed individually before boxing.

Printed matter: brochures, catalogues and manuals to keep edges clean in transit.

Small parts kits: fasteners, cables, spare seals and user guides bundled together.

Retail sets: gift bundles and multi-packs pre-assembled for speed at dispatch.

Hygiene covers: light dust covers for items stored on shelves before shipping.

Returns processing: re-bagging items to protect during reverse logistics.

Choosing thickness & closure

Thickness (approx.) Typical use Closure Notes
20–25 micron Leaflets, light garments, hygiene cover Self-adhesive flap / Open-ended Lowest weight; best clarity
30 micron Accessories, soft goods, kit collation Grip-seal / Self-adhesive Everyday light protection
40 micron Heavier brochures, multiple garments Grip-seal / Heat seal Added scuff resistance

For heavier or sharp-edged contents, step up to Medium / Heavy Duty Polythene Bags or use a rigid outer like Double Wall Boxes.

Packing & sealing tips

Size correctly: choose a bag that fits with minimal spare film to avoid creasing and excess tape.

Seal method: self-adhesive flaps for speed; grip-seal for re-open/close; heat seal for tamper-evidence.

Label smart: apply address labels to the outer pack, not the inner bag, for carrier compliance.
