What Does 100G Polythene Mean?
The 100G specification refers to the approximate gauge or thickness of the polythene film. In this range, 100G is approximately 25 microns.
This provides a lightweight but practical film for everyday commercial packing where good visibility, flexibility and efficient high-volume use are important. Heavier gauges are generally used when additional strength or puncture resistance is required.
Our Takeaway Food Bag Guide explains polythene bag gauges and compares clear polythene bags with paper carrier bags, plastic carrier bags, film-fronted bags, self-seal bags and vacuum bags.
Clear Polythene Bags for Commercial Food Packing
Clear polythene bags are useful in busy food businesses because staff can identify contents without repeatedly opening packages. This can make ingredient organisation, portioning, stock handling and general preparation more efficient.
The clear finish is also useful where presentation matters, allowing bakery products, confectionery, produce and other packed items to remain visible to staff or customers.
For smaller products or different packing requirements, see our complete clear polythene food bag range, which includes a choice of sizes and film gauges.
Choosing the Right Food Bag
The best food bag depends on the size and type of product, the amount of protection required, whether ventilation is needed and whether the packaging is being used for preparation, storage, retail display or carrying takeaway orders.
Our Takeaway Food Bag Guide provides practical advice on choosing between clear polythene bags, kraft paper bags, plastic carriers, film-fronted bags, grip-seal bags and vacuum packaging. It also explains how different gauges affect polythene bag thickness and strength.
If you regularly pack bread, pastries, cakes or patisserie products, our Bakery & Patisserie Packaging Guide covers bakery bags, cake boxes, clear containers, cake boards and other packaging options for professional bakeries and food businesses.
You can also visit our complete collection of food packaging guides for more advice on food bags, takeaway containers, cups, bakery packaging, tableware and catering disposables.
Food Storage & Handling
Keep unused polythene bags stored in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, chemicals and potential sources of contamination. Bags intended for food use should remain protected until required and should be handled in accordance with normal food-hygiene procedures.
Where warm or freshly cooked bakery products are being packed, allow them to cool appropriately before placing them inside a closed polythene bag. Packing products while they are still hot can encourage condensation inside the packaging.
Important: These bags are intended for food packing, preparation, storage and general protection. They should not be assumed suitable for microwave, conventional oven, boiling-water or other high-temperature applications.
Safety note: Plastic bags can present a suffocation hazard. Keep unused bags away from babies and children.
