What makes a plastic bag “heavy duty”?
A heavy duty plastic bag is defined by its thickness (measured in microns) and the density of the polythene used. High-density polythene (HDPE) or low-density polythene (LDPE) with a high gauge ensures the bag can withstand significant weight and stress.
Are large polythene bags suitable for industrial use?
Yes, large polythene bags are widely used in industrial settings for lining boxes, protecting large components from dust, and bundling products together. Their versatility makes them an essential part of warehouse inventory.
Are large light duty plastic bags recyclable in the UK?
Our medium duty plastic bags are made from LDPE, which is recyclable at major supermarket collection points. Always check the resin identification code on the bag to ensure proper disposal.
Why should I choose polythene bags over other materials?
Polythene bags are exceptionally cost-effective, space-efficient to store, and provide a waterproof barrier that protects contents from rain and spills.
How do I choose the right size of polythene bags?
To find the right size of polythene bags, measure the width, depth, and height of the item you intend to pack. Add a few inches to each dimension to allow for easy insertion and a secure closure.
What is the difference between HDPE and LDPE heavy duty plastic bags?
HDPE (High-Density) is thinner but very strong and crinkly, often used for grocery bags. LDPE (Low-Density) is thicker, softer, and has a premium glossy look, making it the preferred choice for heavy duty polythene bags in high-end retail.
Are there clear versions of light duty polythene bags?
Yes, clear medium duty polythene bags are essential for transit and storage where the contents need to be visible for security or inventory purposes without opening the package.
What is “micron” and why does it matter for plastic bags?
A micron is a unit of measurement for thickness. The higher the micron count, the thicker and more “heavy duty” the plastic bag will be. Standard carrier bags are usually 15-25 microns, while heavy duty plastic bags can exceed 50-100 microns.
Are large polythene bags puncture-resistant?
While no plastic is completely puncture-proof, large heavy duty plastic bags made from LDPE have higher dart impact resistance, meaning they can stretch around sharp corners before tearing.
What makes your light duty plastic bags stand out?
Our light duty plastic bags utilise a specialised blend of virgin polythene and recycled content to provide maximum strength while supporting a circular economy, making them the ideal choice for modern UK retailers.
