Are these bags food safe?
Yes. All our polypropylene bakery bags are FDA approved for direct food contact. They meet FDA CFR Title 21 standards for food packaging materials.
Can I heat seal these bags?
Absolutely. CPP bags are designed for heat sealing with impulse sealers, bag sealers, or automated packaging equipment. The heat seal creates a strong, moisture-resistant closure.
How do CPP bags compare to OPP (BOPP) bags?
CPP (cast polypropylene) bags are softer, more flexible, and easier to heat seal than OPP (oriented polypropylene). CPP offers better moisture resistance, while OPP is stiffer and has a crisper feel. For bakery applications, CPP is typically preferred.
