How Glassine Bags Support Food Presentation+

Glassine paper is produced by supercalendering, a process that creates a smooth, glossy surface with natural grease resistance. Unlike standard paper bags that absorb oils and become translucent or weak, glassine maintains its integrity when holding fatty foods. This keeps products looking fresh and prevents grease from reaching customers' hands or clothing.

The smooth finish also provides a premium feel that enhances product presentation. Whether you choose natural brown kraft for an artisan look or crisp white for a clean aesthetic, glassine bags elevate the perceived quality of your baked goods and takeaway items.

Different sizes and formats suit different products. Square bags work well for round items like donuts and pies. Long bags suit croissants, sausage rolls and baguettes. The gusseted kebab bag expands to hold wraps and filled rolls while keeping contents secure.

Glassine vs Standard Paper Bags+

Standard paper bags absorb grease quickly, becoming stained, weakened and potentially breaking. Glassine's dense, smooth surface resists oil penetration, maintaining bag strength and appearance. For greasy foods like donuts, pastries, fried items and hot takeaway, glassine is the appropriate choice. Standard flat paper bags work well for dry goods like bread, sandwiches without oily fillings, and non-food items.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes glassine bags grease resistant?+

Glassine is produced through supercalendering, which compresses paper fibres into a dense, smooth surface. This natural process creates grease resistance without chemical coatings. The tight fibre structure prevents oils from penetrating quickly, giving you time to serve customers without staining.

Are glassine bags food-safe?+

Yes. These glassine bags are food-safe and suitable for direct contact with baked goods, pastries, sandwiches and other food items. The grease resistance comes from the paper processing, not chemical additives.

Can I use these for hot food?+

Yes. Glassine bags are suitable for hot food items like fresh pastries, sausage rolls, pies and kebabs. The grease resistance works with both hot and cold greasy foods. For very hot or wet items, allow slight cooling before bagging to maintain bag integrity.

Are glassine bags recyclable?+

Glassine is made from paper and is recyclable when uncontaminated. Bags heavily soiled with grease or food should be composted or disposed of in general waste. Lightly used bags can go in paper recycling.

What is the difference between long and square bags?+

Long bags are taller than they are wide, suited for elongated items like sausage rolls, croissants and eclairs. Square bags have equal or similar height and width, suited for round or square items like donuts, pies and muffins. Choose based on your product shape for the best fit.
