The gusseted design is what makes satchels ideal for bakery products. When you open the bag, the side gussets expand outward, creating depth that flat bags cannot provide. This means bread loaves slide in easily without crushing, and bulky items like muffins or croissants fit comfortably.

Paper satchels also breathe, which is important for baked goods. Unlike plastic bags that trap moisture and soften crusts, paper allows air exchange that keeps bread crusty and pastries at their best texture. For items that need to stay fresh for a few hours, paper satchels are the professional choice.

The fold-top closure allows staff to quickly secure bags by folding the top over once or twice. This keeps contents protected during customer transport while remaining easy to open at home.

Satchels and SOS bags both have gussets, but they differ in base construction. SOS (Self-Opening Sack) bags have a flat, reinforced bottom that allows them to stand upright on their own. Satchels have a simpler construction without a standing base. Choose satchels when you need expandable capacity for items that will be handed directly to customers. Choose SOS bags when you need bags that stand upright in displays or for items that need a stable base during filling.

The gusset is the expandable side fold that creates depth. A 51mm gusset means each side can expand up to 51mm, giving you approximately 100mm of total depth when fully opened. Larger gussets accommodate bulkier items.

The S Bread size (380 x 152 + 89mm gusset) fits standard sandwich loaves. For wider artisan loaves, use the D Bread size (379 x 279 + 61mm gusset). The Long Sponge size suits baguettes and long bread rolls.

Yes. These satchels are made from food-safe paper suitable for direct contact with bread, pastries, sandwiches and other baked goods. Both brown kraft and white options are food-safe.

No. Satchels do not have a flat base and will not stand upright on their own. They are designed for hand-to-hand service where the bag is filled and immediately given to the customer. If you need bags that stand upright, see our SOS Paper Bags collection.

Yes. These paper satchels 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 go in compost or general waste.
