Why Choose Poly Bakery Bags?
Poly bakery bags are the industry standard for commercial bakeries, grocery stores, and food service operations. Our food-grade polyethylene bags provide an affordable, hygienic solution for packaging bread, buns, and other baked goods.
Food Safety & Compliance
All our poly bakery bags are manufactured from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) resin that meets FDA and USDA specifications for direct food contact. This ensures your products stay fresh while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Wicketed vs. Unwicketed Bakery Bags
Wicketed bags are mounted on a wire wicket (typically 250 bags per wicket) for fast, one-handed loading in high-volume bakery operations. Simply pull a bag off the wicket, load your product, and seal. Perfect for production lines.
Unwicketed bags come in bulk and work well for lower-volume operations or specialty items like French bread loaves. Our unwicketed options feature side gussets for elongated products.
Gusseted Design Benefits
Bottom-gusseted bakery bags expand to accommodate bulky items like artisan loaves or multiple rolls. The gusset allows the bag to stand upright, creating professional-looking retail displays while maximizing product visibility.
Sealing Options
Our poly bakery bags work with multiple closure methods:
- Heat sealing: Creates tamper-evident, airtight seals for maximum freshness
- Twist ties: Quick, reusable closure for customer convenience
- Staples or tape: Fast closure for high-volume operations
Common Uses
Our commercial bakery bags are ideal for packaging:
- Bread loaves (white, wheat, artisan)
- Dinner rolls and hamburger buns
- Croissants and pastries
- Bagels and English muffins
- Cookies and baked goods
- French bread and baguettes (unwicketed side-gusseted bags)

Frequently Asked Questions
Are poly bakery bags food safe?Yes. Every poly bakery bag we sell is made from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) resin that meets FDA and USDA specifications for direct food contact, so it can touch bread, rolls, and pastries without a liner. What is the difference between LDPE and HDPE bakery bags?LDPE is softer and more flexible, which is why it is the standard for bakery products that need to be bagged quickly without tearing. HDPE is stiffer and more puncture-resistant, making it a better fit for dry goods than for bread and pastries. What is a wicketed bakery bag and how many bags come per wicket?A wicketed bakery bag is pre-mounted on a wire wicket so a worker can pull, load, and seal one bag at a time with one hand. Most of our wicketed bakery bags come 250 bags per 5-inch heavy wire wicket, though the count can vary by size. Should I use wicketed or unwicketed bakery bags?Use wicketed bags for high-volume production lines where speed of loading matters, and unwicketed bulk bags for lower-volume operations or long items like French bread and baguettes, which are best packed in side-gusseted unwicketed bags. How do you close a poly bakery bag?Poly bakery bags close four ways: heat sealing for a tamper-evident airtight seal, twist ties for a reusable closure customers can reopen, and staples or tape for the fastest closure on high-volume lines. Can these bakery bags be custom printed?The bags on this page are stock clear bags. Prism Pak does print custom bakery bags with your logo or artwork; contact our sales team for minimum order quantities and pricing, and we can also send samples of a stock size before you commit to a bulk order.
