Bread bags

Bread is bought with the eyes first, so a clear bag that shows the crust and crumb helps the product sell itself on the shelf. Our bread bags are extruded for good clarity, and the food grade film keeps the loaf clean and protected from handling through display and sale. The 25 micron small bag is light and cost-effective for standard loaves and rolls, while the 38 micron medium bag gives a firmer, more premium feel for larger and artisan lines. For bakeries that want the bag to do more than hold the loaf, printing turns every bag into shelf presence.

Put your bakery name, logo and details on the bag and it works as packaging and advertising at once. We print up to six colours in house through our custom printed bags service, on food grade film. Beyond print, we can make bread bags in custom sizes and gauges, add micro-perforations where a loaf needs to breathe to stop the crust going soft, or adjust the format to suit your production line. Tell us the loaf and the run, and we will build the bag to suit.

Bread bags are one of the formats in our food packaging range, all made to food quality standards. Bakeries and food producers also use our kraft paper stand-up pouches for retail-ready lines, food grade carton liners for bulk dispatch, and produce rolls for fresh lines. Buying the range from one manufacturer keeps the food grade specification and the reorder simple.

Buying bread bags through a reseller puts a layer between you and the material. Plastpack has manufactured plastic bags and film in Sydney since 1928. We extrude our own film and form the bags on site, which matters when the bag holds food.
