Bags for Dispatch, Storage, and Retail

Plain Poly Bags

Plain poly bags are one of the most widely used products in commercial packaging. Made from LDPE (low-density polyethylene), they are clear, flexible, and available across a broad range of sizes and gauges to suit different product weights and applications. Manufacturers, distributors, and eCommerce operators use plain poly bags for individual product wrapping, parts and component storage, dispatch packing, and protection of goods during transit and warehousing.

Gauge selection determines the bag’s load capacity and durability. Lighter gauges suit retail goods and general items, while heavier gauges provide the puncture resistance and strength needed for industrial parts, hardware, and products with significant weight or sharp edges.

Zip Lock Bags / Preseal Bags

Zip-lock and preseal bags are the right choice wherever a bag needs to be opened and resealed multiple times after initial packing. The resealable press-seal closure makes them a practical tool for hardware and components distribution, pharmaceutical supply, food service pre-portioning, sample packaging, and retail or warehouse applications involving items that require regular access once packed.

Singlet Bags / Carry Bags

Singlet carry bags are the standard checkout and retail carry bag across supermarkets, food service operations, convenience stores, and general retail environments. Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), they carry a significant load relative to their thickness. Supplied in bulk carton quantities, they are a high-frequency consumable for retail businesses of all sizes.

Produce Rolls

Perforated produce rolls are designed for food retail, supermarkets, and wholesale food distribution, where fresh produce, loose items, and short-life goods need to be bagged quickly at the point of purchase or preparation. They are built for high-turnover environments where tear-off speed, food-appropriate materials, and consistent availability are all operational requirements.

Pallet and Load Protection

Pallet Top Sheet (Plastic)

Plastic pallet top sheets are placed over a stacked pallet load before stretch wrapping is applied. They provide a barrier against dust, moisture, and surface contamination during storage and transit. In warehousing environments where goods sit on racking for extended periods before dispatch, top sheets are a practical, low-cost way to protect pallet integrity from above.

Pallet Bag

Where a pallet top sheet protects the top surface, a pallet bag encloses the entire load. Pallet bags are large-format poly bags designed to be placed over a completed pallet, providing full-coverage protection against dust, moisture, and environmental contamination during storage and transit. They are widely used in storage operations where loads need to be fully sealed before entering a controlled environment, or when goods will remain in open warehouse conditions for an extended period.

Liners for Commercial Facilities

Bin Liners

Bin liners are a high-frequency consumable in any commercial operation. Hospitality venues, commercial kitchens, offices, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities all maintain a regular stock of bin liners for waste management and hygiene compliance. Premium Packaging supplies bin liners across a range of sizes and gauges to suit different bin formats and waste volumes, from standard office bins through to large commercial and industrial bins requiring heavy-duty liner strength.

Carton Liners

Carton liners are poly bags that fit inside corrugated cartons to create a moisture- and contamination-barrier between the product and the carton walls. They are particularly important in food manufacturing and distribution, where moisture from fresh or chilled products could otherwise compromise carton structural integrity, and in industrial applications where condensation during cold-to-ambient transitions is a risk to product quality. They are also used to extend the life of carton reuse by keeping the board clean and dry across multiple loading cycles.

Specialist Films, Tubing, and Industrial Products

POF Shrink Film

POF stands for polyolefin, a type of shrink film that contracts tightly around a product when heat is applied using a heat gun or shrink tunnel. The film is applied loosely over the product, then heated to form a clear, professional finish that protects the product and provides visible tamper evidence for retail and distribution. POF shrink film suits a wide range of applications, including food product wrapping, cosmetics packaging, hardware multipacks, and retail goods that require a clean, finished presentation before reaching the shelf or the end customer.

Poly Tubing

Poly tubing is a continuous roll of polyethylene film in tube format, designed to be cut to the specific length required for each product as it is packed. This makes it highly practical for businesses packaging variable-length or non-standard items where a pre-formed bag would be wasteful or would not fit correctly. Manufacturers, food processors, and industrial packagers use poly tubing for products ranging from long timber components and metal sections to food items requiring individual wrapping, with varying dimensions from one batch to the next.

Builders Films

Builders film is heavy-duty polyethylene sheeting used on construction and renovation sites for surface protection, moisture barriers, and dust containment during active building work. It is also used in warehousing and industrial facilities for equipment covers, floor protection during fit-outs and refurbishments, and temporary weather protection for materials stored outdoors. Builders films are supplied in large roll dimensions and heavy gauges designed for the physical demands of construction and site conditions.

Mattress and Furniture Bags

Mattress and furniture bags are large-format poly bags that protect mattresses, sofas, armchairs, and large furniture items during transit, storage, or commercial relocation. They are a standard supply item for removalist companies, self-storage facilities, furniture retailers, and any business that handles large furniture pieces through its supply chain. The bags protect against dust, moisture, surface abrasion, and handling marks during the phases when furniture is most vulnerable to damage.

Industries That Use Plastic Packaging

Warehousing and Distribution

Pallet bags, pallet top sheets, plain poly bags, and carton liners are standard supply items in any well-managed warehouse operation. Protecting goods from moisture, dust, and contamination at every stage of storage reduces product loss and keeps them in dispatch-ready condition.

Manufacturing and Industrial Operations

Poly tubing, plain poly bags, carton liners, and builders films all support manufacturing workflows, from wrapping individual components on a production line to protecting floors and equipment during maintenance and site refurbishment.

Food Service and Food Retail

Produce rolls, singlet bags, zip lock bags, carton liners, and plain poly bags are relevant to food service and food retail environments where food-appropriate materials, hygiene standards, and reliable supply continuity are all operational priorities.

Retail and eCommerce

POF shrink film, plain poly bags, zip-lock bags, and singlet carry bags serve retail and eCommerce businesses for product presentation, dispatch packing, and customer-facing packaging applications.

Construction and Site Works

Builders films are an essential site for any active construction or renovation project, providing cost-effective protection for floors, surfaces, and equipment throughout the building phase.

Commercial Relocation and Storage

Mattress and furniture bags are standard products for removalist businesses, storage operators, and any commercial operation handling large-scale furniture moves or long-term storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between plain poly bags, zip lock bags, and carton liners, and which does my business need?

Plain poly bags are open-ended and suited to single-use packing applications where the bag is closed by sealing, folding, or taping after the product is inserted. Zip-lock and pre-seal bags have a resealable press-seal closure for applications requiring repeated access after initial packing, such as hardware distribution, pharmacy, and food pre-portioning. Carton liners are oversized poly bags that fit inside corrugated cartons to provide a moisture barrier between the product and the carton board. Each serves a distinct function, and the right choice depends on how the packed item is handled after it is bagged.

When would a business need a pallet bag rather than just a pallet top sheet?

A pallet top sheet covers the top surface of a load and works well in most standard storage and transit situations when used with stretch wrap. A pallet bag encloses the entire load in a sealed poly cover, providing full-surface protection against dust and moisture on all sides. Pallet bags are the better choice when loads will be held in extended storage before dispatch, or when the storage environment poses a higher risk of contamination than a top sheet and stretch wrap can adequately address on their own.

What is POF shrink film, and how is it different from pallet stretch wrap?

POF stands for polyolefin. Shrink film is applied loosely over a product and then heated with a heat gun or shrink tunnel, causing it to contract tightly and form a clear, professional finish around the item. It is fundamentally different from pallet stretch wrap, which is manually stretched and wound around pallet loads to secure them in transit. POF shrink film is used for retail product presentation, product bundling, and tamper-evident packaging, while stretch wrap is used for load securing on pallets and freight.

What gauges are available for plain poly bags, and how do I select the right one for my products?

Plain poly bags from Premium Packaging are available across a range of sizes and gauges suited to different products and applications. Lighter gauges work well for retail goods, garments, and general dispatch items. Heavier gauges are needed for products with significant weight, sharp edges, or where abrasion resistance matters, such as industrial components and dense packaged goods. Our team can assist with gauge and size selection based on your product specifications and handling requirements.
