Clear Grip Seal Bags – 140 Gauge (35 Micron)

Our clear grip seal bags provide a practical, economical and reusable packaging solution for storing, organising and protecting a wide variety of products. Manufactured from high-clarity 140 gauge (35 micron) LDPE polythene containing 30% recycled material, these lightweight self-seal bags offer excellent visibility while helping to protect their contents from dust, dirt and moisture.

Each bag features an integral press-to-close grip seal that can be secured quickly by pressing firmly along the top fastening. The closure helps keep items safely contained while allowing the bag to be opened and resealed whenever access is required. No tape, staples, heat-sealing equipment or additional fastening materials are needed.

The clear finish allows products to be identified without opening the bag, making these resealable polythene bags particularly useful for stockrooms, warehouses, workshops, fulfilment centres and retail environments. They are ideal for keeping small components together, organising product ranges and presenting goods neatly to customers.

Available in a comprehensive selection of sizes, our plain grip seal bags can accommodate everything from small jewellery items, fixings and electrical components to documents, clothing, accessories and larger retail products.

Secure and Convenient Resealable Packaging

The simple press-to-close fastening makes these grip seal bags quick and easy to use. Place the product inside, remove excess air if required and press firmly along the entire seal until it is fully closed.

When access is needed, gently pull the two sides apart above the seal. The bag can then be closed again, making it suitable for products that need to be handled, inspected or used more than once.

This resealable design makes grip seal bags especially useful for stock control, component storage, order picking and product organisation. Items remain grouped together and clearly visible, helping businesses maintain tidier and more efficient storage and packing areas.

How to Measure Grip Seal Bags

Grip seal bag dimensions are shown as:

Width × Height To Seal

The height measurement represents the usable internal space from the bottom of the bag to the closure. The material above the seal is not included in the usable bag length.

For the best fit:

• Measure the widest part of your product
• Measure its full height or length
• Allow additional space for the product’s depth
• Leave enough room above the contents to close the seal comfortably
• Select a larger size if the item is bulky, irregularly shaped or difficult to insert

Grip Seal Bags for A5, A4 and A3 Documents

Our clear grip seal range includes practical sizes for storing and protecting standard A5, A4 and A3 paperwork:

• 6 x 9 inch / 150mm x 225mm grip seal bags – suitable for A5 documents measuring 148mm × 210mm
• 9 x 12.75 inch / 225mm x 323mm grip seal bags – suitable for A4 documents measuring 210mm × 297mm
• 13 x 18 inch / 325mm x 450mm grip seal bags – suitable for A3 documents measuring 297mm × 420mm

Clear 140 Gauge Polythene Construction

Manufactured from clear 140 gauge polythene, equivalent to approximately 35 microns, these standard-duty grip seal bags are lightweight, flexible and easy to handle. They provide dependable everyday protection for lightweight products without the additional bulk or cost of heavier packaging.

The high-clarity material allows barcodes, labels and enclosed paperwork to remain visible while giving customers and warehouse staff a clear view of the contents.

For bulky, sharp-edged or heavier products that require greater resistance to puncturing and tearing, we recommend choosing our heavyweight grip seal bags.

Made with 30% Recycled Content

Our clear grip seal bags are manufactured using 30% recycled material, helping reduce the amount of virgin plastic required while retaining the clarity, flexibility and everyday performance needed for commercial packaging.

Their resealable construction also allows the bags to be used repeatedly where they remain clean and undamaged, helping businesses make more efficient use of their packaging materials.

Why Choose Our Clear Grip Seal Bags?

Our plain grip seal bags offer a versatile packaging solution for businesses of every size. Their combination of clear presentation, secure closure and convenient resealability makes them ideal for manufacturers, retailers, distributors, warehouses, workshops and eCommerce fulfilment operations.

Unlike open-ended polythene bags, grip seal bags do not require separate tape, ties or sealing equipment. This can make packing faster while helping to keep products organised and securely contained.

With an extensive selection of dimensions available, it is easy to choose a suitable bag for anything from very small components to larger commercial products.

What Are Grip Seal Bags Also Known As?

Grip seal bags are known by several different names depending on the industry, supplier or intended application. Customers may also search for them as:

• Gripseal bags
• Grip-seal bags
• Self seal bags
• Self-sealing bags
• Resealable plastic bags
• Resealable polythene bags
• Reclosable bags
• Reclosable poly bags
• Press seal bags
• Press-to-close bags
• Zip seal bags
• Zip-top bags
• Grip lock bags
• Clear resealable bags
• Clear self seal bags
• Small parts bags
• Component storage bags

Unlike adhesive self-seal bags, our gripseal bags do not use a peel-off backing strip or permanent adhesive closure. The integrated grip seal simply presses together and pulls apart, providing quick and repeated access to the contents.

Whether you call them grip seal bags, self seal bags, press seal bags or resealable polythene bags, they offer the same convenient solution for organising, protecting and presenting products.

Important Usage Information

These bags are designed to help protect products from everyday dust, dirt and moisture. They should not be relied upon as completely waterproof, airtight, leakproof or tamper-evident packaging. Avoid packing sharp-edged or excessively heavy products in standard 140 gauge bags, as these may puncture or damage the material. A heavyweight grip seal bag may be more suitable for these applications.

PPWR Compliance Information

Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on Packaging and Packaging Waste, commonly known as the PPWR, applies to polythene and polypropylene packaging placed on the EU market. Material specifications and supporting product documentation are available for our polythene and polypropylene products to help customers complete their compliance assessments. However, material type, recycled content or food-contact suitability alone does not confirm full PPWR compliance. The responsible economic operator must assess the finished packaging and its intended use against all applicable requirements, including packaging minimisation, substances of concern, recyclability, recycled content, labelling and technical documentation. Customers intending to place these products on the EU market should email sales@expresspackaging.co.uk to request the latest available documentation and confirm suitability for their application before making a PPWR compliance claim.

Food Safety Information

Due to the recycled content, not every size may be certified as suitable for direct food contact. If you require grip seal bags for food packaging, please contact our sales team at sales@expresspackaging.co.uk before ordering. We will be happy to confirm whether your chosen size meets your requirements and provide a Food Safety Certificate where available.
