Common Questions
Q: What size bread fits in a 5.5x4.75x15 bag?
A: This bag works well for standard baguettes, thin loaves, and breadsticks. The 4.75" gusset expands to accommodate round artisan loaves up to about 4" in diameter. For wider sandwich loaves, consider a larger gusset size.

A: Yes! These bags are FDA food-contact compliant, made from virgin polyethylene. They meet the requirements for cottage food operations and farmers market sales in most states.
