White Paper Bags questions
Still unsure? Call 01234 867 727 or email info@askpackagingltd.com. We reply the same working day.
Are white paper bags food safe?
Yes. White strung bags are plain food-contact paper made for bakery, deli and sweet-shop use, so pastries and sweets can go straight in.
Are white paper bags greaseproof?
They hold dry and lightly buttery items well. For oily or moist food, wrap it first or use a box.
What size white bag fits pick and mix?
The 7 x 7 inch white bag holds a typical single pick-and-mix portion. For larger sweet orders, use the 8.5 inch or 10 inch bag.
How are the bags packed?
The bags are threaded in bundles on a string, so they hang by the till, and come in packs of 200, 500 and 1,000.
Are white paper bags recyclable?
Yes, when clean. White bags are plain 38gsm paper with no plastic window or coating, so they go in household paper recycling.
Buying white paper bags: a short guide
White bags for a premium counter
On a patisserie or café counter, white bags look cleaner than brown and make colourful bakes stand out. A rubber stamp or round sticker turns them into branded bags at very low cost.
Matching sizes across orders
Stock 8.5 and 10 inch together: the smaller bag for single orders, the larger for three or more items. The same look across sizes makes the counter look organised.
