How Wicketed Bags Speed Up Packing Lines+

Wicketed bags are held on a wire frame (wicket) that keeps multiple bags fanned open and ready to use. Staff simply slide a loaf into the open bag and pull forward to release the bag from the wicket. This single-motion process is much faster than opening individual bags from a roll or stack.

The wicket system allows one-handed operation, leaving the other hand free to handle product. This is especially valuable on high-speed packing lines where seconds per bag add up across thousands of units. The perforated wicket strip releases cleanly without tearing or stretching the bag opening.

For bakeries running multiple product lines, wicketed bags can be set up at different stations with size-appropriate bags ready to go. This eliminates the time lost searching for correct bag sizes and reduces packaging errors during busy production periods.

Size Selection Guide+

450 x 255mm: Suits small loaves, bread rolls and narrow baguettes. The 100mm gusset provides adequate depth for standard roll shapes. Most economical option with 2,000 bags per carton.

450 x 295mm: Suits medium loaves and wider bread rolls. Same length as the 255mm option but 40mm wider to accommodate broader products. The 100mm gusset handles standard loaf depths.

520 x 310mm: Suits standard sandwich loaves and medium artisan bread. The 110mm gusset accommodates taller loaf profiles. Most popular size for commercial sandwich bread production.

520 x 335mm: Suits large loaves and artisan bread with generous proportions. The extra width handles wider artisan shapes while the 110mm gusset maintains depth capacity.

610 x 350mm: Suits extra large loaves, long baguettes and specialty bread. Flat style (no gusset) provides maximum length for extended products like French sticks and sourdough batards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wicketed bag?+

A wicketed bag is held on a wire frame (called a wicket) that keeps multiple bags fanned open and ready to use. You slide product into the open bag and pull forward to release it from the wicket. This is much faster than opening individual bags from a roll or stack.

Are these bags food safe?+

Yes. These bags are made from food-grade HDPE film suitable for direct food contact. They are designed specifically for bakery product packaging and meet food safety requirements for bread, rolls and baked goods.

Can I bag warm bread in these?+

Yes. These bags can handle warm bread straight from cooling racks. However, for best results, allow bread to cool to room temperature before bagging to prevent condensation buildup inside the bag, which can affect freshness and appearance.

What size fits a standard sandwich loaf?+

The 520 x 310mm size with 110mm gusset fits most standard sandwich loaves. For larger artisan loaves, choose the 520 x 335mm size. Measure your typical loaf dimensions (length, width, height) and compare to the bag sizes to ensure a good fit with room for closure.

Do these include closures?+

No. These bags are supplied without closures. You can seal them with twist-ties, bread clips, tape, or heat sealing depending on your production setup. The bag length provides adequate material for twist-tie closure above the product.

How many bags are in a carton?+

The smaller 450mm sizes contain 2,000 bags per carton. The larger 520mm and 610mm sizes contain 1,000 bags per carton. For a bakery producing 500 loaves per day, a carton of 1,000 bags lasts approximately 2 days.
