Polyethylene or polythene is a widely used plastic today, and is mainly used for packaging, with around eighty million metric tons being produced yearly. There are different types of polythene which are classified into several categories, and these range from ultra high molecular weight polythene (UHMWPE) down to very low density polythene (VLDPE).
Suppliers of polythene products distribute many types of bags, plastic containers, pallet wrap, polythene sheeting etc., and their many products can include:
- Clear Polythene Bags : Resealable Bags : Cellophane Bags : Clear mailing bags : Opaque mailing bags : Self seal garment bags : Layflat tubing : Sheeting : Bubble wrap : Bubble bags : Packing tape : School & filing bags : Polythene foam : Carrier bags : Anti-static self seal bags : Bin liners & refuse sacks.

Refuse sacks are usually made from tough low density polythene. The thickness (gauge) of the bag depends on its intended use, with 120 gauge suitable for general purpose use, while 300 gauge heavy duty bags are very strong, puncture resistant and leak resistant. Further up the scale is 550 gauge which is designed for industrial use such as aggregates. Most types of polythene bags are available in a range of different thicknesses. ( gauge )
The different types of polythene bags are as follows:
- Light duty bags : Medium duty : Heavy duty : Plain grip seal bags : Grip seal panel bags : Heavy duty grip seal bags.
