Common Questions
Q: Will these fit a standard French baguette?
A: Yes! A standard baguette is about 24 inches long, and with the gusset expansion these bags fit baguettes up to about 18-19 inches comfortably. For extra-long baguettes, you can leave the top open with a twist tie or fold-over closure.
Q: Can I heat seal these bags?
A: Absolutely. The 1.25 mil polyethylene seals easily with standard impulse sealers. You can also close them with twist ties, bread clips, or fold-over labels.
Q: Are these bags okay for selling bread at farmers markets?
A: Yes — these are FDA food-contact compliant, meaning they're safe for direct contact with baked goods and meet cottage food and farmers market requirements in most states.
