Commercial Applications
The 9x16+4BG wicketed format serves high-volume bakery operations packaging artisan loaves, sandwich breads, ciabatta, and specialty baked goods. The co-extruded polypropylene construction delivers exceptional clarity that showcases crust texture and color while providing moisture barrier protection. Commercial bakeries use wicketed bags on automated packaging equipment where manual bag-opening would slow production. The 4-inch bottom gusset allows bread to stand upright on retail shelves, improving product visibility and consumer appeal.
