Common Questions
Q: What size bread fits in an 11x20.5 bag?
A: This size is ideal for large challah loaves (traditional braided challah is typically 12-14" long), big sourdough boules up to about 9-10" diameter, and most artisan loaves. The extra length gives you room to fold over the top for a neat presentation or heat seal closed.
Q: What's the difference between CPP and regular poly bakery bags?
A: Cast polypropylene (CPP) offers significantly better clarity and a softer, more premium feel compared to standard polyethylene bags. Your bread's golden crust and beautiful texture will show through more clearly, making your products more appealing to customers.
Q: How do wicketed bags work?
A: Wicketed bags come pre-loaded on a metal rod (250 bags per wicket). You hang the wicket at your packing station and simply pull bags off one at a time. It's much faster than opening individual bags from a stack—essential for busy farmers markets and high-volume bakery operations.
