Commercial Applications
The wicket design enables rapid bag deployment on automated filling equipment, dramatically increasing packaging throughput compared to hand-loading individual bags. Bakeries use these for pastries, dinner rolls, muffins, and multi-cookie packs. Produce operations package loose vegetables, fruit portions, and bulk items. The 4-inch bottom gusset provides a stable base when filled, allowing products to stand upright for retail display or efficient case packing.
Co-extruded polypropylene delivers superior clarity over standard poly films, showcasing product appearance while maintaining excellent moisture resistance. The material resists fogging and maintains its professional appearance throughout the distribution chain.

Common Questions
Q: What is wicket packaging and how does it speed up operations?
A: Wicket bags come pre-loaded on metal wicket pins. Your staff or automated equipment pulls bags off the wicket one at a time, eliminating the need to separate individual bags from a roll or stack. This typically doubles or triples packaging speed in high-volume operations.
Q: How many pastries or rolls fit in a 9x13+4BG bag?
A: With the 4" bottom gusset fully expanded, these bags hold 6-8 dinner rolls, 4-6 large muffins, or approximately 8-12 standard pastries. The expandable gusset accommodates varying product heights up to 13 inches.
Q: Can I heat-seal these polypropylene bags?
A: Yes, co-extruded polypropylene heat-seals cleanly with standard impulse or constant-heat sealers. For optimal seals, use temperatures between 250-300°F depending on your equipment.
