Food-contact compliant poly bags designed for bakeries, food service operations, and artisan bread packaging. These 11" x 18" flat poly bags provide an economical, food-safe packaging solution for bakeries, delis, and food service operations. Made from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), these 1 mil bags meet FDA/USDA food-contact compliance standards, making them ideal for direct food contact applications including bread, baked goods, sandwiches, and produce. The 11x18 size is perfectly suited for standard sandwich loaves, artisan bread, sub rolls, and larger baked items. LDPE material offers superior clarity compared to recycled alternatives, allowing customers to see product quality while maintaining freshness. The durable bottom seal construction prevents leaks and ensures consistent performance across high-volume bakery and food service environments. At 1 mil thickness, these bags strike an optimal balance between cost-efficiency and protection for lightweight food items. The thin gauge reduces material costs while still providing adequate moisture barrier and contamination protection for baked goods with short shelf lives. LDPE's natural flexibility allows the bag to conform to product shape without tearing, making it ideal for irregularly shaped artisan breads and baked items.

Flat poly bags made from food-contact compliant LDPE are widely used in bakeries, delis, and food service for packaging bread, baked goods, sandwiches, and produce. The clear material allows product visibility while providing moisture barrier protection and contamination control during transport, storage, and retail display. What mil thickness is best for bakery bread bags? For most bakery applications, 1 mil thickness provides adequate protection for bread loaves and baked goods while minimizing packaging costs. Heavier items or products requiring extended shelf life may benefit from 1.5 or 2 mil bags, but 1 mil is the industry standard for same-day or next-day consumption baked goods. Can LDPE poly bags be heat sealed? Yes, LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) poly bags can be effectively heat sealed using impulse sealers, band sealers, or hand-held heat sealers. LDPE's low melting point makes it ideal for heat sealing applications in bakeries and food service operations. Bags can also be closed with twist ties, bag tape, or staples for faster packaging workflows.
