An introduction to Polythene bags
The uses for poly bags are virtually without limit! Whenever there is a need to
protect an item during storage or shipment, Polybags can supply a poly
bag that is right for the job. Lighter density poly bags are a good choice for
items that are not heavy and require only a simple shield from their
surroundings. Heavy density poly bags keep your goods safe from harm in more abusive
environments where dirt, dust, moisture, movement, etc. are factors that may damage
your goods.

Polybags - polythene bags
Packaging
One of the most successful types of packaging is the polythene bag, or Polybag as it is often called. These are also called plastic bags or storage bags. Polythene bags come in all shapes and sizes, small bags, large bags you can even get special promotional polythene bags that can be printed with your own design or logo.
The shape of the bag is also an important consideration in some cases. Flat poly bags are general purpose bags that are often used where a clear presentation at a low cost is desired. We offer wicketted poly bags and gusseted poly bags for applications where the shape and style of the poly bag is vital to how it will be used. For protection against moisture in particular, a reclosable poly bag is suggested, keeping your goods safe while allowing for easy opening and closing.
Manufactured bags
There are many polythene bag suppliers in the UK, but not all of them are able to manufacture their own bags; these companies are known as wholesale distributors wheras a company that manufactures polythene bags is known as a poly bags manufacturer. Bags can be created out of film, plain or coloured and sized to your specifications.
Most types of bags can also be printed for promotional purposes, printed carrier bags are particularly effective as this kind of marketing tool.
Recycling and biodegradable plastic bags
Starch bags are 100% biodegradeable and a viable environmental alternative to paper bags and polyethylene bags. The raw material is based on a new generation of biodegradable substances, mainly made from corn starch.
Types of polythene bags
Perhaps the most familiar type of polythene bag is the carrier bag (or carry bag as it sometimes called) but there are many other types of polythene bags and you can even have them manufactured to suit your own specific needs. Some of the most common types of poly bags are:
- Plain polythene bags
These bags can be used for a whole variety of things, from stocking your food
into the fridge, to pack your own product they are really useful. You will be
able to choose from multiple thicknesses depending on what you going to use
normally stocked in light duty bags, medium duty bags or heavy duty bags. Remember, if
you need a size or thickness not stocked, they can be manufactured in-house
cheaply with a quick turnaround.
- Garment poly bags
Garment poly bags are specially designed and shaped for use with shirts, coats,
pants, etc. for protection and ease of use in apparel applications. Poly film
and poly tubing are used where large quantities are required and use of a roll of
the film or tubing is a good solution.

bags could be the answer. Using a blend of low and medium density polythene, these
bags have improved strength properties compared to standard polybags.
