Clear Food Grade Polythene Bag 10x15inch 500G - Pack of 500

Extra-Heavy-Duty 10x15 Inch Clear Polythene Bags for Food Packing & Storage

Choose maximum strength for demanding food packing applications with these Excel Clear Polythene Bags 10x15 inch 500G. Manufactured from food-grade clear polythene (PE), these extra-heavy-duty bags combine excellent visibility with substantial film thickness for meat, fish, cheese, bakery products, produce, deli preparation and general commercial food storage.

At approximately 125 microns thick, the 500G polythene film is considerably heavier than standard food bags. This makes it particularly suitable for heavier, firmer or more demanding products where increased resistance to puncturing, stretching and repeated handling is required.

The bags are freezer-safe and can be closed using a heat sealer, counter tape or bag-neck sealer. For other dimensions and thicknesses, browse our complete range of clear food-safe polythene bags.

Choose the Right 10x15 Inch Polythene Bag Gauge

If the 10x15 inch dimensions are right for your product but 500G is heavier than you need, the same size is available in several lighter gauges.

• Lightweight everyday option: 10x15 Inch 100G Clear Polythene Bags – Pack of 1000
• Light-to-medium option: 10x15 Inch 120G Clear Polythene Bags – Pack of 1000
• Heavy-duty option: 10x15 Inch 200G Clear Polythene Bags – Pack of 1000
• Heavier-duty option: 10x15 Inch 250G Clear Polythene Bags – Pack of 500

The 500G version on this page is the heaviest option in this 10x15 inch group. It is best suited to applications where significantly greater film thickness and protection are more important than using the lightest possible packaging.

500G vs 100G, 120G, 200G & 250G Bags

The main difference between these 10x15 inch clear polythene bags is film thickness. Because the bag dimensions remain the same, businesses can choose a gauge based primarily on the weight, shape and handling requirements of the product.

• 100G: lightweight film for everyday food packing
• 120G: slightly thicker option for general commercial use
• 200G: approximately 50 microns for heavier-duty packing
• 250G: approximately 63 microns for increased strength
• 500G: approximately 125 microns for extra-heavy-duty protection

For lightweight foods and routine preparation, a lower gauge may provide a more economical solution. For heavier products, harder edges or items that place greater stress on the packaging, the 500G film provides substantially more material and durability.

Why Choose a 500G Heavy-Duty Polythene Bag?

At approximately 125 microns thick, these 500G bags provide substantially more protection than standard lightweight polythene bags. The heavier film can help resist stretching and puncturing when packing dense, firm or irregularly shaped products.

The transparent material retains the benefits of a conventional clear food bag. Staff can easily identify ingredients and packed products without opening the packaging, helping with preparation, stock organisation and storage.

The 10x15 inch size also provides a practical format for medium-sized products without requiring the additional material of a much larger bag.

How to Choose the Right Food Bag

The most suitable food bag depends on the size and weight of the contents, whether the product has firm or sharp edges, how much protection is required and whether the bag will be used for preparation, storage, retail display or transport.

For more information about polythene thickness, bag gauges and alternative food-bag formats, read our Takeaway Food Bag Guide. It explains clear polythene bags and compares them with paper carriers, plastic carrier bags, film-fronted bags, self-seal bags and other food-packaging options.

Food Storage & Handling

Store unused bags in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, chemicals and potential sources of contamination. Keep bags intended for food contact protected until required and handle them using appropriate food-hygiene procedures.

When packing freshly cooked or baked products, allow them to cool appropriately before placing them inside a closed polythene bag. Packing food while it is still hot may encourage condensation inside the packaging.

For freezer storage, remove unnecessary excess air where practical, close or seal the bag securely and follow your normal food-storage and food-safety procedures.

Important: These bags are intended for food packing, preparation, storage and general protection. They should not be used in a microwave or conventional oven and should not be assumed suitable for boiling water or other high-temperature applications.

Safety note: Plastic bags can present a suffocation hazard. Keep unused bags away from babies and children.
