Common Questions
Q: Will these bags fit a standard French baguette?
A: Yes! Most baguettes are 15-16" long, so the 18" height gives you 2-3" at the top to fold over, twist tie, or heat seal closed.
Q: Are these bags safe for selling bread at farmers markets?
A: Absolutely. These bags are FDA food-contact compliant, which means they meet all safety standards for direct contact with your baked goods — exactly what you need for cottage food operations and market sales.
Q: Can I heat seal these poly bags?
A: Yes, polyethylene seals easily with a standard impulse sealer. You can also use twist ties, tape, or fold-over closures depending on your packaging style.
