Common Questions
Q: What size bread loaf fits in this bag?
A: These bags fit standard loaf-pan bread (4-5" wide), artisan rounds up to about 5" diameter, and baguettes up to 22" long. The side gussets expand to accommodate thicker loaves up to about 9" across when fully expanded.
Q: Are these bags food safe for selling bread at farmers markets?
A: Yes! These bags are FDA food-contact compliant, made from virgin polyethylene. They're perfect for cottage food operations and farmers market vendors selling homemade bread.
Q: Can I use these for fresh-baked bread or should I let it cool first?
A: Always let bread cool completely before bagging. Warm bread creates condensation inside the bag, which can make crust soggy and encourage mold growth.
