These 10" x 16" x 4" wicketed bakery bags are designed for commercial bakery lines producing sub rolls, hoagie rolls, sandwich buns, and similar long-profile bread products.

Specs: 10" x 16" x 4" | 1 mil | LDPE | 1000/Box (250/Wicket) | FDA/USDA Compliant
Applications
Sized for packaging sub rolls and hoagie rolls (8" to 12" length), sandwich bun sets, specialty dinner roll clusters, long brioche rolls, and split-top hot dog buns. Also used for individually wrapped artisan rolls, bakery gift set packaging, and food service portion bags at deli and restaurant bread operations.
Features
Wicket-mounted system (250 bags per 5" heavy wire wicket) allows single-handed bag opening at production speed — operator pulls one bag off the wicket while loading the previous. Bottom gusset expands to provide a flat base for standing presentation in retail display. Heat-sealable, or can be closed with twist ties, staples, or tape. Open top accepts long bread profiles without crushing.
Material Notes
Manufactured from 100% virgin LDPE resin at a nominal 1 mil gauge. FDA/USDA compliant — direct food-contact approved for baked goods. The 1 mil film provides the light, conforming fit appropriate for fresh bread presentation without adding unnecessary bulk. All gauge ratings are nominal.
Use Case Notes
The 10" wide x 16" long format accommodates standard sub rolls (8–12" long) with room for gusset expansion of thick, crusty profiles. The 4" bottom gusset opens to approximately 2" per side, providing stable base support for standing bag display. For shorter rolls or dinner rolls grouped in sets of 4–6, the bag provides room for a neat cluster presentation without overpacking.
Common Questions
Q: What is the maximum roll length this bag can accommodate?
A: The 16" bag length accommodates rolls up to approximately 13–14" with a normal tuck or heat seal at the top. For footlong sub rolls, consider a slight diagonal placement or a longer bag size.
Q: How do I use the wicket system on a production line?
A: The 5" heavy wire wicket is mounted to a dispensing bracket or stand at the bagging station. The operator grabs the front bag, opens it, loads the product, removes the loaded bag from the wicket pin, and seals it. Each pull advances the next bag automatically.
Q: Can the bottom gusset sit flat on a retail shelf?
A: Yes. When the bag is filled, the 4" gusset expands and the bag stands upright, providing a stable flat base for shelf display without a tray or support.
Why Buy
The 1000/box count (4 wickets of 250 bags each) supports sustained production runs without frequent restocking. The wicket system significantly reduces per-bag load time versus hand-opening individual bags, improving throughput on manual and semi-automated bread lines. FDA/USDA compliant construction meets food safety requirements for direct bakery contact without additional certification.
