Commercial Applications
The 11x18 dimension is purpose-built for footlong hoagies, submarine sandwiches, and deli rolls. Delis, sandwich shops, and grocery store deli counters rely on this size for consistent portioning and presentation. The wicket mounting enables rapid dispensing on automatic and semi-automatic bagging machines, dramatically increasing throughput during peak production runs. Bakeries use these for long bread rolls, baguettes, and specialty loaves requiring bottom-gusseted packaging.
