Common Questions
Q: What size baguette fits in these bags?
A: These 24-inch bags accommodate standard French baguettes (typically 22-26 inches), shorter demi-baguettes with room to twist-tie the top, and bundles of breadsticks or grissini. The 3-inch gusset expands to fit breads up to about 4 inches in diameter.
Q: Are these bags safe for selling bread at farmers markets?
A: Yes! These bags are FDA food-contact compliant, making them safe for direct contact with baked goods. They're perfect for cottage food operations, licensed home bakeries, and commercial bakery retail.
Q: Can I use twist ties or heat seal these bags?
A: Absolutely. Polyethylene is compatible with both twist ties and heat sealing. Most home bakers use twist ties for quick market service, while bakeries with sealers often heat seal for a cleaner professional look.
