Description
Small inventory is not small work. A jeweller with forty earring pairs, a seller with mixed beads, a workshop with a drawer of loose M3 screws, all of them face the same problem: the object is cheap and the finding of it is expensive. A clear pouch is the cheapest fix in the trade, provided the plastic is honest and the sizes actually correspond to what you store.
Five hundred pouches arrive in seven footprints, from a 2 by 2.8cm size that swallows a single ring to a 5 by 7cm bag that holds a pendant card or a folded chain. The material is PE, two tenths of a millimetre thick, with a press-to-close zip that does not need a heat sealer. Clear on both faces, so the contents are legible without opening anything.
The one detail worth understanding before you order is the measurement convention. The listed size is the overall bag, sealing lip included, and the usable interior is smaller by the zip strip of roughly half a centimetre. Buy to the object plus a margin, not to the flat measurement, or the first order will feel tight.
The cost of looking for something is never on the invoice. Put it in a bag and stop paying it.
Seven Sizes, One Box
- ✦500 pouches per pack, enough for a full stocktake rather than a sampler
- ✦Seven sizes spanning 2 x 2.8cm through 5 x 7cm in one order
- ✦0.2mm PE film, thick enough to hold shape but still flexible at the corners
- ✦Press-to-close zip channel that needs no heat sealer or tape
- ✦Clear on both sides for instant visual identification
- ✦Roughly 120ml usable capacity in the largest size
- ✦Eco-friendly PE formulation that is recyclable where facilities accept soft film
- ✦Flat packed, so the whole 500 occupies a single drawer divider

The Counter It Cleans Up
This is stockroom equipment before it is packaging. Resin and bead sellers sort by colourway into the small sizes, then bag finished kits in the 5 by 7. Jewellers keep pairs together and photograph the front face instead of unboxing for every listing. Electronics repairers use them for loose fasteners removed from a device during teardown, taped to the job sheet. Sellers preparing small parcel orders also use them as an interior pouch so multiple items in one mailer stay together.
Sizing And Use
Q: Is the size the usable interior or the outside of the bag?
A: The listed size is the overall pouch, and the zip lip takes roughly half a centimetre of that. A 5 x 7cm bag gives you about 5 x 6.5cm of usable interior. If your item is 4.8cm wide, order the next size up rather than the one that matches on paper.
Q: Will these hold a ring or a pair of earrings?
A: Easily. The 2.5 x 3.5cm and 3 x 4cm sizes are the usual choice for a single ring or an earring pair. Rings with a high setting need the 3 x 4 so the stone does not press against the zip line.
Q: Are they food safe?
A: The film is PE, a food contact material in principle, and the listing classifies the use as food storage. For anything consumed, confirm your local labelling obligations first, because repackaged food carries rules that vary by jurisdiction and by whether you are selling or storing.
Q: Can I write on them?
A: A permanent marker writes on PE and dries within seconds, though it will smudge if the bag is handled immediately. A small adhesive label on the front face gives a cleaner result for retail, and it can be removed without tearing the film.
Q: Do the zips stay closed in a pocket or a mailer?
A: The press-to-close channel holds under normal handling and light compression. It is not a waterproof seal and it is not a vacuum closure. For liquids or loose powder, place the pouch inside a rigid container or heat seal the open end.
Q: Are they thick enough for repeated use?
A: 0.2mm PE survives several open and close cycles before the zip line starts to fatigue. These are consumables, not archival storage. For long term storage of anything valuable, move the contents into a rigid box once the pouch has done its sorting job.
Q: What is the smallest size actually good for?
A: The 2 x 2.8cm holds a single stud earring, a pill, a jump ring set or a small screw. It is genuinely useful for components rather than a token size included to fill the range. Most buyers find they use the two smallest and the largest size most heavily.
Q: Can I get a single size instead of the mixed range?
A: Yes, choose the size option that matches your work. The 500 piece quantity applies per selected size, so ordering one size gives you a full box of that footprint rather than a mixed assortment.
