Common Questions
Q: Can I use these bags for food I'm selling at farmers markets?
A: Yes! These bags are FDA food-contact compliant, making them perfect for cottage food operations, bake sales, and farmers market vendors. Heat seal them for a professional, tamper-evident finish.
Q: What's the advantage of side gusset over flat bags?
A: Side gussets expand when you fill the bag, creating a flat bottom and usable interior space. For tall items like bread loaves or bundled candy, gusseted bags give you a cleaner presentation and more room than flat bags of the same dimensions.
Q: How do I seal these bags?
A: Use any impulse heat sealer, or a household flat iron on low heat with parchment paper. The 2 mil thickness seals cleanly and creates a strong, airtight closure.
