Frequently Asked Questions: Bakery Packaging
What type of bag is best for fresh bread?
For fresh artisan bread that should maintain a crispy crust, use a paper bag or a perforated poly bag — both allow moisture to escape and prevent the crust from softening. For sandwich-style sliced bread where a soft crust is preferred, a sealed LDPE poly bread bag retains moisture and extends softness. Contact us to discuss your specific bread type and desired shelf life.
How do I keep cookies fresh in packaging?
For maximum cookie freshness in retail or gift packaging, OPP or BOPP bags provide a better moisture barrier than standard cello. Heat-sealed or adhesive-sealed closures outperform twist ties for shelf life. If you need 4+ weeks of shelf life, consider a barrier stand-up pouch with a resealable zipper. We can recommend the right spec for your target shelf life and price point.
Do you have bakery bags that work for farmers markets?
Yes — cello bags with twist ties are a staple for farmers market bakery vendors because they’re affordable, show off your product beautifully, and are easy to fill and close at a table. Kraft paper bags with a window are also popular for artisan bread and pastry brands that want a more premium, rustic look. Both are available in bulk at wholesale pricing.
Can you print my bakery’s logo on bags?
Yes. We offer custom flexographic printing in up to 6 colors on most of our bakery bag formats. You provide the artwork (or we can work with your designer), and we’ll produce bags with your logo, brand colors, and any required food labeling information. Request a custom print quote to get started.
What is the minimum order for bakery bags?
Minimum order quantities vary by bag type and whether custom printing is involved. Stock bakery bags (plain cello, plain poly, plain kraft) have lower minimums than custom-printed bags. We work with small bakeries starting out as well as high-volume commercial operations. Contact us with your requirements for a no-obligation quote.
