Proper bakery packaging must be designed such that it provides protection, convenience, visual appeal and even branding features. In our bakery bags, we design packaging options depending on how you prepare, display and sell your products.
Packaging is one of the aspects that makes up the customer experience. A good bag protects products and strengthens your brand each time an order goes out of your bakery.
Custom bakery bags with logos will ensure that you get the same brand visibility in takeaway orders, at retail counters, and in wholesale orders. The packaging will also help your products be easily identifiable by the customers even outside your store.
Just like the design, protection is equally important. Pastries such as croissants, donuts, and cinnamon rolls may cause oil or butter stains on unsuitable paper.
Material selection has impacts on durability, grease resistance, aesthetics and versatility in use for different kinds of baked items.
Choosing the right GSM is also important. Lightweight paper suits well small products and bulk packaging while heavyweight GSM will provide better structure for bigger products.
Bakery bags vary in size according to the type and amount of bakery products that need to be packed. Below are some of the sizes used in packing bakery products while other sizes can be made to suit certain products.
Size Category | Common Sizes (Inches) | Best Suited For |
Small | 4″ × 2″ × 6″, 5″ × 3″ × 7″, 6″ × 3″ × 9″ | Cookies, macarons, single pastries |
Medium | 7″ × 4″ × 10″, 8″ × 4.5″ × 11″, 9″ × 5″ × 12″ | Sandwiches, donuts, small bread loaves |
Large | 10″ × 5″ × 13″, 12″ × 6″ × 15″, 14″ × 7″ × 16″ | Multiple pastries, baguettes, larger baked goods |
Extra-Large | 15″ × 7″ × 18″, 16″ × 8″ × 20″ | Bulk bakery orders, large bread loaves |
Custom dimensions can be developed around the exact size of your bakery products. A properly fitted bag helps reduce unnecessary movement while providing a neat and attractive presentation.
Selecting the right bag style and feature helps you to ensure that your paper food bags blends well with your kitchen operations and your customer experience. These include resealable tin ties for maintaining freshness in artisan loaves and custom cut out handles for easy carrying. These features help in transforming ordinary packaging into a functional part of your brand. Selection of appropriate structural variations also helps to reduce movement of your products during transport thus avoiding damage to your frostings, crusts and baked goods.
Custom window bakery bags enable your customers to view the content without having to open the package. Clear windows can be used in cookie and bread show bags while the rest of the bag can be printed with your logo.
Clear PLA windows can be chosen by those companies which require compostable packaging materials. Window bags are especially useful for cookies, speciality loaves, muffins and individual pastries.
Custom wax paper bakery bags offer greaseproofing features for items which have butter, oil, icing, or fillings. They will ensure there is a barrier for grease and less stains.
The custom wax paper bags work best for donuts, croissants, breakfast pastries, cinnamon rolls, and high-fat bakery items.
The flat bags are great for items such as cookies, pastries, sandwiches, and smaller baked items. The flat bags are easily stackable, storable, dispensable, and filling in fast paced operations.
The side gussets allow for more volume and support in the bag.
Takeaway bakery bags are custom-made to cater to the needs of customers who buy many items or a large number of items at once.
These can be made with twisted paper handles or die cut handles. The size and the type of handles can be adjusted according to the typical volume of your orders.
Packaging will accurately reflect your brand regardless of whether it requires a simple one color logo design or complex illustrations.
Flexographic printing would be ideal for large quantity orders and can be used in logo design, text, pattern and repeat design applications. CMYK printing is suitable for complex and colorful illustrations whereas Pantone Spot Matching (PMS) gives control in color reproduction of brand colors.
Water and soy based non-toxic inks offer food conscious printing options for food packaging applications.
Choose finishing features that support both appearance and everyday functionality:
From straight forward Custom paper bags for bakery counters to premium packaging for specialty pastries, specifications can be combined around your products and brand requirements.
