Material Notes
Made from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) resin at 1 mil nominal gauge. LDPE is the standard material for bakery bags — it provides sufficient protection against moisture and environmental contamination while maintaining excellent clarity for product presentation. At 1 mil, the film is lightweight and flexible, appropriate for bakery items where bag weight is secondary to appearance and food safety compliance.
Use Case Notes
The 14×20 format with 4-inch bottom gusset is designed for large artisan bread formats — sourdough boules up to 9 inches in diameter, large oval batards, and multi-loaf flatbread packs. Wicketed mounting allows packaging operators to pop individual bags off the wicket with one hand while holding the product with the other, dramatically increasing throughput on high-volume bakery lines. The 1000-count box (four wickets of 250) is a standard bakery production quantity.
Common Questions
Q: How does the wicket system work?
A: Bags are pre-stacked and mounted on a 5-inch heavy wire wicket through holes at the top of each bag. The operator pulls the front bag up and forward off the wicket, loading the product, then seals the bag. The wicket holds the remaining bags in position for the next cycle. This system significantly increases loading speed compared to individual bag dispensing.
Q: What loaf sizes fit in a 14x20x4 bag?
A: The 14×20 opening with 4-inch bottom gusset accommodates loaves up to approximately 12 inches in length, 8 inches in width, and 5 inches in height. Most large sourdough boules, round country loaves, and standard 9×5 sandwich loaves fit comfortably.
Q: Can these bags be heat sealed?
A: Yes. The LDPE film is compatible with impulse heat sealers. Many bakery operations also use tape or twist ties for speed on high-volume lines.
