Description

Description


A 3 lb polythene bag measuring 5 x 2 x 12 inches. The 2 inch gusset lets the bag open into a squared-off shape, so it holds loose or bulky items better than a flat bag of the same width. The poly film keeps contents contained and protected from moisture.

Bakeries use this size for buns, cookies and bread rolls. Grocers, bulk food stores and delis bag nuts, candy, dried goods and produce with it, and food processors use it for portion packs. It comes in boxes of 200, with 10 boxes in a case, shipped from MPPL's Richmond, BC warehouse.

People Also Ask:

Q. Should a bakery use polythene bags or paper bags for its products?

A. A bakery should use polythene bags for soft items that need to stay moist, such as buns, cookies and sliced bread, and paper bags for crusty loaves that need to breathe. Many bakeries stock both so each product keeps its intended texture.

Q. How does a bakery or deli choose the right poly bag size for a product?

A. Measure the product's width, depth and height, then choose a bag whose width plus gusset fits around it with room to close the top. Bag a full portion as a test before switching a product line, since dense and bulky items fill bags very differently.

Q. What does the pound size on a bakery or produce poly bag mean?

A. The pound size is a trade convention showing roughly how much product the bag holds, not a weight rating. Supermarkets and bakeries should still check the dimensions for light, bulky items that fill a bag before reaching that weight.

Q. What is the best way for a bakery or supermarket to close poly bags?

A. Most bakeries and supermarkets close poly bags with twist ties, bag clips, tape or a heat sealer, depending on volume. Leave enough headspace at the top of the bag for the closure you use, and pick the method that fits your packing speed.

Q. Are these poly bags suitable for food manufacturers packing food products?

A. Poly bags of this type are widely used for bakery, bulk and produce packing. MPPL confirms this bag can be used in direct contact with food. Food manufacturers and co-packers should confirm documentation with MPPL before adding a new bag to a production line.

Q. Are these poly bags HDPE or LDPE, and why does it matter for a food business?

A. The product is listed as a poly bag, and the resin matters because HDPE film feels crisper while LDPE film feels softer and more flexible. This bag is LDPE film at 1.0 mil, so it sits on the softer, more flexible side, which suits hand filling and bulk packing. Our customer service team can confirm before you switch a product line.

Q. Can a food manufacturer or deli freeze products in these poly bags?

A. Many polyethylene bags handle refrigerator and freezer temperatures, but performance depends on film type and thickness. It is food safe and withstands freezing temperatures, so it can be used for frozen storage. It is not airtight, so it gives limited protection against freezer burn over long periods. For long term frozen storage, use it inside a sealed outer pack or choose a heavier barrier film. Test a batch with your product before switching a frozen line.

Q. Can an Asian supermarket use these poly bags in bulk bins and produce sections?

A. Yes, poly bags are a common choice for self-serve bulk bins and produce because shoppers can handle and weigh the product in them. Place the bags beside the scoops and scale, and a twist tie or label keeps each bag closed through checkout.

Q. Should a bakery bag products while they are still warm?

A. No, a bakery should let products cool before bagging, since warm goods create condensation that makes them soggy and can promote mould. Poly film is not meant for hot fill unless the manufacturer states it.

Q. How does a bakery or deli estimate how many poly bags it needs?

A. Count the bagged units sold per day, add a margin for double-bagging and damaged bags, and multiply by your reorder interval. Reviewing actual usage after a month gives a reliable reorder point for peak days.
