Polythene Clear food safe Bag [10x12inch] 200G ( 500 Bags)
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, butchers, caterers, food preparation areas 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 recycling facilities are available, and can be closed using a heat sealer, counter tape or bag-neck sealer. For other sizes and thicknesses, browse our complete range of clear food-safe polythene bags.

Choose the Right 10x15 Inch Polythene Bag Gauge
If the 10x15 inch size is right for your product but you need a different film thickness, Smart Food Packaging offers the same bag dimensions in several gauges.
- Lighter everyday option: 10x15 Inch 100G Clear Polythene Bags – Pack of 1000
- Light-to-medium option: 10x15 Inch 120G Clear Polythene Bags – Pack of 1000
- Heavier-duty option: 10x15 Inch 250G Clear Polythene Bags – Pack of 500
The 200G version on this page sits between the lighter 100G and 120G options and the heavier 250G version. This allows you to keep the same convenient 10x15 inch dimensions while choosing a film thickness suited to the weight, shape and handling requirements of your products.
200G vs 100G, 120G & 250G Polythene Bags
The main difference between these 10x15 inch bags is the thickness of the polythene film. Lighter gauges can be suitable for general everyday food packing, while heavier gauges provide a more substantial bag for products that require additional strength.
- 100G: lightweight option for everyday packing
- 120G: slightly thicker general-purpose option
- 200G: heavy-duty option at approximately 50 microns
- 250G: heavier option where additional film strength is required
Choosing the correct gauge can help avoid using unnecessarily heavy packaging for lightweight products while providing additional protection where a more substantial film is genuinely needed.
Non-Perforated or Perforated 10x15 Inch Bags?
These 200G bags are non-perforated, making them suitable for general packing, preparation and storage where a closed clear bag is preferred.
If your products benefit from ventilation, such as selected bakery products or produce where airflow may help reduce moisture build-up, consider the 10x15 Inch Perforated 100G Clear Polythene Bags – Pack of 1000.
How to Choose the Right Food Bag
The best bag depends on the size and weight of the product, whether ventilation is required, the amount of protection needed and whether the bag is being used for preparation, storage, retail display or takeaway service.
For more help choosing between polythene gauges and different food-bag formats, read our Takeaway Food Bag Guide. It explains clear polythene bags, bag thickness and gauge, paper carriers, plastic carrier bags, film-fronted bags, self-seal bags and other food packaging options.
Why Choose a 200G Heavy-Gauge Polythene Bag?
Thicker polythene generally provides greater resistance to everyday handling, stretching and puncturing than lighter films. At approximately 50 microns, these 200G bags offer a more substantial packaging option while retaining the clear presentation that makes polythene convenient for foodservice and retail use.
The transparent film also allows staff to identify ingredients and packed products without repeatedly opening the bag. This is useful for preparation areas, stock organisation, storage and retail presentation.
Food Storage & Handling
Store unused polythene bags in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, chemicals and possible 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 the product to cool appropriately before placing it into a closed polythene bag. Packing products while they are 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 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.
