Custom paper bags for bakeries & baked goods.
Bakery bags handle warm, buttery products and are often the customer's first touch of the brand. Grease and food contact decide the paper.
What bakeries & baked goods packaging has to do.
- 01Grease resistanceButter and oil soak through plain kraft. Grease-resistant papers or a coated inner surface keep the bag clean.
- 02Food contactPaper that touches food should comply with FDA 21 CFR 176. Some grease-resistant treatments use PFAS, which a growing number of US states restrict in food packaging.
- 03SteamWarm bread releases steam; paper breathes, which keeps crusts crisp better than film.
- 04WindowsA film window shows the product but adds a plastic component.

Questions.
01Are paper bakery bags grease-proof?
Plain kraft is not. Ask for grease-resistant paper or a coating, and check what the treatment is.
02Do bakery bags contain PFAS?
Some grease-resistant papers have used PFAS; several states now restrict them in food packaging. Ask for PFAS-free papers.
03Paper or plastic for bread?
Paper keeps crusts crisp; plastic keeps bread soft longer. Many bakeries choose by product.
