Custom Bakery Bags

Custom bakery bags fail when butter from a croissant shows through the paper before your customer leaves the counter. Plain paper takes a grease spot within minutes, so the paper itself has to resist fat while it carries your logo.

We make custom printed bakery bags from white or natural kraft paper at 60 to 80 GSM in grease resistant grades. Flat bags suit cookies and single pastries, and square bottom bags with a gusset stand up for rolls, muffins and loaves. A clear film window on the front shows the bake inside.

The Customized Boxes is a direct packaging manufacturer in Neptune, New Jersey with production in house. You approve a flat drawing of the bag with your artwork and can test plain bags with your own bakes first. We print bags for cookies to baguettes, and the minimum is 100 bags per size and design.

What Size Bakery Bag Fits Cookies, Pastry and Bread?

A bakery bag fits when the width and gusset clear the bake by about 10 mm and the height leaves at least 50 mm to fold over.

Bakery bag sizes as width by gusset by height
Bag Fits Size in inches Size in mm
Flat cookie bag 2 to 3 cookies or one pastry 5 x 0 x 7 127 x 0 x 178
Square bottom pastry bag A croissant or 2 muffins 5 x 3 x 9.75 127 x 76 x 248
Large square bottom bag Half dozen rolls or donuts 6 x 3.5 x 11 152 x 89 x 279
Loaf bag with window A sandwich loaf 5.25 x 3.25 x 15 133 x 83 x 381
Baguette bag One baguette 3.5 x 2 x 24 89 x 51 x 610

Square bottom bags open into a box shape and stand on the counter while you fill them. Flat bags lie in a stack and suit thin bakes such as cookies. With the size chosen the next question is the paper that touches the food.

Which Paper Keeps Butter From Showing Through Bakery Bags?

Grease resistant paper keeps butter from showing through, because its fibers are treated to hold oil on the surface instead of soaking it in.

The TAPPI kit test known as TAPPI T 559 rates that grease resistance, and we match the grade to your bakes. Bread, rolls and dry cookies count as dry food under 21 CFR 176.180 for paper in contact with dry food.

Croissants, donuts and buttery pastry fall under 21 CFR 176.170 for paper that touches moist and fatty foods. Our food grade paper meets FDA food contact rules, and we never print the inside. Once the paper is right you can plan what the bag shows on the outside.

How Do You Close and Carry Bakery Bags?

Most bakery bags close with a fold and a printed sticker, while bread and coffee style bags close with a tin tie glued to the top.

A sticker with your logo doubles as a seal that shows the bag has not been opened. Larger orders go in a paper shopping bag with handles, which we print to match. With the closure chosen you are ready to order.

How Do You Order Custom Bakery Bags Wholesale?

  • Price breaks arrive at 500 and 1,000 units on one artwork and not across mixed designs
  • Production takes 8 to 10 business days for folding carton and 10 to 12 for rigid and wrapped

Bakery bag questions buyers ask before ordering

Send us what you bake and how many you sell a week if your question is not answered below.

What is the minimum order for custom bakery bags?

The minimum is 100 bags per size and per design. The price per bag falls at 500 and 1,000 units on one artwork.

Are custom printed bakery bags grease resistant?

Yes. We use grease resistant paper rated with the TAPPI kit test, so butter from pastry stays on the surface. The inside is never printed.

Can custom bakery bags have a clear window?

Yes. A clear PET film window is glued behind a die cut opening on the front, at least 15 mm from the folds.

What size custom bakery bags fit a loaf of bread?

A sandwich loaf fits a square bottom bag of 5.25 by 3.25 by 15 inches. That leaves room to fold the top and close it with a tin tie.
