Excel Polythene Clear Bag 10x15inch 200G - Pack of 1000
Heavy-Duty Clear Polythene Bags for Food Packing, Storage & Retail Use
Choose extra strength for demanding food packing and storage with these Excel Clear Polythene Bags 10x15 inch 200G. Made from food-grade clear polythene (PE), these heavy-gauge bags combine excellent product visibility with increased durability for bakeries, delis, food preparation areas, butchers, caterers and food retailers.
At approximately 50 microns thick, the 200G polythene film provides a heavier and more robust option than standard lightweight food bags. This makes it particularly useful for heavier, bulkier or more demanding products where additional strength and puncture resistance are preferred.
The bags are freezer-safe, recyclable where suitable PE-film facilities are available, and can be closed using a heat sealer, counter tape or bag-neck sealer. For other dimensions and thicknesses, browse our full range of clear food-safe polythene bags.

Which 10x15 Inch Polythene Bag Gauge Should I Choose?
The 200G / approximately 50 micron film on this product is designed for applications where a heavier bag is preferred. However, the same 10x15 inch size is also available in lighter and heavier gauges, allowing you to choose the most appropriate thickness without changing the bag dimensions.
- For a lighter everyday option, choose the 10x15 inch 100G clear polythene bags.
- For slightly more thickness while remaining lighter than this 200G version, choose the 10x15 inch 120G clear polythene bags.
- For an even heavier-duty option, see the 10x15 inch 250G clear polythene bags.
This allows businesses using the same 10x15 inch format to select the film thickness that best matches the weight, shape and handling requirements of the product being packed.
200G vs 100G and 120G Polythene Bags
The main difference between these bags is the film thickness. A 100G or 120G bag is well suited to many everyday food-packing applications, while this 200G version provides approximately 50 microns of film thickness for applications where additional strength is desirable.
If your products are lightweight and do not require heavy-duty film, the 100G or 120G alternatives may be more economical. For heavier products or situations involving more handling, the 200G bag provides a more substantial option.
For more information about bag gauges, materials and food-bag types, see our Takeaway Food Bag Guide.
Non-Perforated or Perforated 10x15 Inch Bags?
These 200G bags are designed for general food packing and storage where a closed clear bag is required. For products that benefit from increased airflow, a perforated bag may be more appropriate.
For the same 10x15 inch size with ventilation holes, see our 10x15 inch perforated 100G clear polythene bags. Perforations can be useful for selected bakery products and produce where moisture and condensation need to escape.
Why Choose a 200G Heavy-Gauge Bag?
Thicker polythene can provide greater resistance to everyday handling, stretching and puncturing than lighter films. At approximately 50 microns, the 200G construction gives these bags a more substantial feel while retaining the clear presentation that makes polythene convenient for food preparation and retail use.
The transparent film also allows staff to identify ingredients and packed products without repeatedly opening bags, helping with preparation, stock handling and storage.
Food Storage & Handling
Store unused bags in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, chemicals and potential sources of contamination. Keep food-contact bags protected until required and handle them according to appropriate food-hygiene procedures.
When packing freshly cooked or baked food, allow the product to cool appropriately before placing it into a closed polythene bag. Packing hot products may encourage condensation inside the packaging.
For freezer storage, remove unnecessary excess air where practical, 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 retail presentation. 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.
