Common Questions
Q: Will a full-size baguette fit in these bags?
A: Yes! Standard French baguettes (typically 24-26" long) can be placed diagonally in the bag, or you can use these for demi-baguettes and batards that fit the 19" length perfectly. The side gussets give you flexibility for different bread widths.
Q: Are these safe for selling bread at farmers markets?
A: Absolutely. These poly bags are FDA food-contact compliant, making them fully approved for direct contact with baked goods. They're a popular choice among cottage bakeries and farmers market vendors.
Q: How should I close these bags?
A: You have options! Use a simple fold-and-twist-tie for rustic appeal, add a branded sticker or label for a polished look, or heat seal for tamper-evident packaging. The lightweight poly seals easily with a standard impulse sealer.
