How Flat Bags Support Simple Operations+

Flat paper bags are the simplest packaging format. With no gussets, special bases or handles, they offer straightforward functionality at the lowest cost. For items that do not need to stand upright or require expanded depth, flat bags provide exactly what is needed without unnecessary features.

The open top makes filling quick and easy. Slide in a cookie, fold the top over once or twice, and the customer is served. For sandwiches, the flat design allows the bag to wrap around the item, keeping it compact and easy to hold.

Paper bags also breathe, which is important for fresh baked goods. Unlike plastic that traps moisture and softens crusts, paper allows air exchange that maintains product texture during short-term transport.

Flat Bags vs Satchels vs Glassine+

Flat bags work best for slim, flat items that do not need expanded depth. Paper satchels have gussets that expand for bulkier items like bread loaves. Glassine bags offer grease resistance for fatty foods like donuts and pastries. Choose flat bags for cookies, sandwiches and general dry goods. Choose satchels for bulky bakery items. Choose glassine when grease resistance is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do the size codes mean?+

The size codes are traditional paper bag industry standards. Numbers indicate relative size (1F is smaller than 2F). "F" indicates flat format, "W" indicates a wider format of that size number. Higher numbers generally mean larger bags.

Are these bags grease resistant?+

No. Flat paper bags are standard kraft paper without grease resistance. For fatty or greasy items like donuts, pastries with cream, or fried foods, use our glassine bags which offer natural grease resistance.

Which size fits a standard sandwich?+

The 4F size (280 x 235mm) fits most standard sandwiches comfortably. For larger subs or baguettes, use the 6F size (335 x 235mm). For smaller rolls or half sandwiches, the 3F size works well.

Are these bags food-safe?+

Yes. These flat paper bags are made from food-safe paper suitable for direct contact with dry baked goods, sandwiches, and other food items. Both brown kraft and white options are food-safe.

Are these bags recyclable?+

Yes. These paper bags are recyclable in paper recycling and compostable in commercial composting facilities. Bags with minimal food contamination can go in paper recycling. Heavily soiled bags should be composted or disposed of in general waste.
