Polythene Clear Bag 18x24inch 150G - Pack of 1000

Large Food-Safe Clear Polythene Bags for Storage, Packing & Bulk Use

Pack larger food products efficiently with these Excel Clear Polythene Bags 18x24 inch 150G. Made from food-grade clear polythene (PE), these large-format bags provide a practical combination of clarity, flexibility and strength for bakeries, delis, butchers, caterers, food preparation areas and retail businesses.

At approximately 38 microns thick, the 150G film provides more substance than lightweight polythene while remaining flexible enough for fast day-to-day packing. The generous 18 x 24 inch size is particularly useful for larger food products, bulk ingredients, preparation, storage and lining applications.

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

Choose the Right 18x24 Inch Polythene Bag Gauge

If the 18x24 inch size suits your product but you require a different film thickness, Smart Food Packaging stocks several clear polythene bags in the same dimensions.

• Heavier-duty option: 18x24 Inch 250G Clear Polythene Bags where additional film strength is required.
• Extra-heavy-duty option: 18x24 Inch 500G Clear Polythene Bags for more demanding packing and protection.

The 150G version on this page provides a useful middle ground between lightweight 100G film and the substantially heavier 250G and 500G alternatives, allowing you to keep the same large bag dimensions while selecting a thickness appropriate for the product being packed.

150G vs 100G, 250G & 500G Polythene Bags

The main difference between these 18x24 inch polythene bags is the thickness of the film. Choosing the correct gauge can help provide appropriate protection without using unnecessarily heavy packaging.

• 100G: lighter film for general everyday packing
• 150G: approximately 38 microns and suitable for larger products requiring added durability
• 250G: heavier film for more demanding products and handling
• 500G: very heavy-duty film for applications requiring substantially greater thickness and toughness

Why Choose a Large 150G Polythene Bag?

A larger bag does not always require the heaviest available film. These 150G clear polythene bags provide approximately 38 microns of thickness, giving them more durability than a lightweight 100G bag while remaining flexible and easy to handle during busy packing operations.

The crystal-clear material allows staff to identify food, ingredients and prepared products without repeatedly opening the bag. This can be particularly useful in busy preparation areas, bakeries, catering kitchens, food production and stock storage.

Suitable for Larger & Bulkier Food Products

The 18x24 inch dimensions provide considerably more packing space than smaller standard food bags. This makes them useful for larger bakery products, bulk produce, food-preparation ingredients and other items that require additional bag capacity.

When selecting a bag, allow enough space for the product to fit comfortably and for the top of the bag to be closed or sealed appropriately. Avoid overfilling, particularly where the contents have sharp edges or significant weight.

Food Storage & Handling

Store unused polythene 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 food, allow products to cool appropriately before placing them into 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.
