Common Questions
Q: What size bread fits in a 5.5x4.75x19 bag?
A: These bags work perfectly for demi-baguettes (12-16"), batards, ciabatta loaves, and focaccia strips. Standard French baguettes (24") are typically too long, but shorter artisan loaves fit beautifully. The side gussets expand to accommodate loaves up to about 5 inches wide.
Q: Are these bags food safe for selling bread at farmers markets?
A: Yes! These bags are made from virgin polyethylene and meet FDA requirements for direct food contact. They're perfect for cottage bakeries, home bakers, and anyone selling baked goods to the public.
Q: How do I seal these bags?
A: You can fold over the top and secure with a twist tie, bread clip, or sticker label. For a more professional look, many bakers use a heat sealer or simply fold and tape. The poly material also accepts most adhesive labels well.
