Polythene Packaging FAQs

Common questions about our polythene packaging range.
What is the difference between gauge and micron in polythene bags?

Gauge and micron are both measurements of polythene film thickness – 100 gauge equals 25 micron. Lighter gauges (100-120 gauge) suit general purpose and light product applications. Medium gauges (150-200 gauge) are used for heavier products and more demanding applications. Heavy gauges (250 gauge and above) are used for industrial applications, pallet hoods, and box liners where strength and tear resistance are critical. Our team can advise on the correct gauge for your product weight and application.

What sizes are grip seal bags available in?

Grip seal bags are available in a comprehensive range of sizes from very small (suitable for jewellery and small parts) through to large A3-size bags. Standard sizes are referenced by number (e.g. GL01, GL02) and also by millimetre dimensions. We stock the full range and can supply size guides on request. For very high volumes or non-standard sizes, contact our team to discuss options.

What is lay flat tubing used for?

Lay flat tubing is polythene tubing supplied in a roll, supplied flat. It is cut to the required length and sealed at one or both ends using a heat sealer to create a custom-length bag. It is particularly useful for wrapping long, awkward, or irregularly shaped items where standard bag sizes are not available. It is widely used in manufacturing, engineering, and distribution for protecting pipes, profiles, timber, and other extended items.

What is centrefold shrink film and how is it used?

Centrefold shrink film is polythene film folded in half lengthways and supplied on a roll. The product is placed inside the fold and the open edges are sealed, then heat is applied – either using a heat shrink chamber or a gas shrink gun – which causes the film to shrink tightly around the product. It is used for retail presentation, multipacks, and product protection. The width of the film you need depends on the size of the product being wrapped.

Can I get polythene bags in custom sizes?

Yes – for larger orders we can arrange polythene bags in custom sizes and gauges. Minimum order quantities apply for custom production. For standard sizes, we carry extensive stock for immediate availability. Contact our team with your required dimensions and we will advise on stock availability, lead times, and pricing.

Do you supply anti-static polythene bags?

Yes – anti-static grip seal bags are available within our grip seal bag range, suitable for storing and transporting electronic components and static-sensitive items. If you require anti-static specification in other bag types, contact our team to discuss what is available.

Do you offer trade accounts and credit terms?

Yes – Ventamac offers trade accounts with credit facilities for qualifying businesses. Trade account customers benefit from volume pricing, dedicated account management and streamlined repeat ordering. Contact us to apply.
