Non-Perforated vs Perforated Polythene Bags
These 10x15 inch clear bags are non-perforated, meaning the film does not contain ventilation holes. This makes them suitable for general food preparation, portioning, storage and retail packing where a closed clear bag is preferred.
For products where additional airflow may be beneficial, such as selected bakery products or fresh produce, consider our perforated 10x15 inch clear polythene bags instead.
Best practice: Allow freshly cooked bread, pastries and other hot bakery products to cool before placing them into a non-perforated polythene bag. Packing products while they are still hot may encourage condensation inside the bag.
How to Choose the Right Food Bag
Choosing the right food bag depends on the type of food being packed, whether ventilation is required, the level of protection needed and whether the bag is being used for preparation, storage, retail display or customer takeaway orders.
Our Takeaway Food Bag Guide explains the differences between clear polythene bags, kraft paper carriers, plastic carrier bags, film-fronted bags, self-seal bags and vacuum bags. It also provides useful guidance on polythene bag gauge and thickness to help food businesses choose the most suitable bag for their requirements.
If you are packaging bread, pastries, cakes or patisserie products, read our Bakery & Patisserie Packaging Guide for help choosing bakery bags, cake boxes, clear containers, cake boards and related packaging.

Food Storage & Handling
Store unused clear polythene bags in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, chemicals and possible sources of contamination. Keep the bags protected until they are required and handle them using appropriate food-hygiene procedures.
When using the bags for freezer storage, cool food appropriately before packing, remove unnecessary excess air where practical, seal the bag securely and follow your normal food-storage and food-safety procedures.
Important: These polythene bags are designed for food packing, storage and display. They are not intended for microwave or oven use and should not be assumed suitable for boiling water or direct contact with extremely hot food.
Safety note: Plastic bags can present a suffocation hazard. Keep unused bags away from babies and children.
