3x4 Poly Bags - Perfect for Small Treats, Jewelry & Craft Supplies
These little 3x4 poly bags are the perfect size for individually wrapping small treats, packaging jewelry pieces, or organizing tiny craft supplies. They're especially popular with bakers who make bite-sized cookies, candies, or chocolate-dipped treats for farmers markets and craft fairs. At just 3 inches wide by 4 inches tall, they're compact enough to tuck into gift boxes or hand out as party favors, yet roomy enough for a few cookies or a small piece of jewelry.

Why Customers Love This Size
This is one of the most popular small bag sizes for home-based food businesses. It's perfect for bite-sized treats that you want to package individually - think decorated mini cookies for wedding favors, chocolate truffles for craft fairs, or candy samples for holiday markets. The compact size keeps your cost per unit low while still giving customers that individually-wrapped, professional presentation.
Jewelry makers and crafters love these bags because they're just the right size for small pieces without wasting bag space. You can fit a pair of earrings with room for a small backing card, or package beads and findings for online orders. The 4 mil thickness is sturdy enough to protect delicate items during shipping.
Poly vs. Cellophane: Which Should You Choose?
Choose poly bags (like these) when: You're packaging lots of items and cost per bag matters. Poly bags are softer, more flexible, and significantly cheaper than cellophane. They're perfect for items that go into another package (gift boxes, mailers) or when you're selling wholesale to retailers who add their own final packaging.
Choose cellophane bags when: You need that retail-ready presentation with the signature crinkle sound and crystal-clear clarity. Cello bags look more premium and work better when products sit on retail shelves or display tables at craft fairs. The higher cost is worth it when presentation is part of your brand.
Sizing Tips
These bags measure 3x4 inches, so your items should be no more than about 2.75 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall to fit comfortably with room for closure. For cookies, think mini cookies about the size of a silver dollar - 2-3 small cookies fit nicely. For jewelry, you can include a small backing card or care instructions without cramping the space.
Because these are flat bags (no gussets), they work best for items that lay relatively flat. If you're packaging something with bulk or depth - like a large cookie or puffy craft project - you'll want a gusseted bag instead. These 3x4 bags are made for flat treats and small items.
Easy Closure Options
The open top gives you flexibility in how you close them. Twist ties are fast and economical - perfect for high-volume production at farmers markets. Ribbon adds a gift-worthy touch for wedding favors or holiday treats. Small sticker seals let you add branding. Heat sealers create a professional, tamper-evident seal if you're shipping or selling through retailers.
Where This Size Shines
Farmers markets, bake sales, craft fairs, and online shops - anywhere you need to package small items individually. These bags are also perfect for party favors, wedding treats, holiday gift bags, and fundraiser goodies. If you're selling on Etsy or at local events, having a supply of these small bags means you can offer individual pieces alongside your larger products.
Affordable, versatile, and reliably protective - these 3x4 poly bags are a smart choice for small businesses packaging lots of little items without overspending on packaging.
