Applications
The 11x20 size accommodates large-format artisan breads that smaller bags cannot handle. Bakeries use these for sourdough boules, country loaves, large ciabatta, round Italian breads, and artisan sandwich loaves. The micro-perforations are essential for crusty European-style breads that lose their texture in sealed packaging. Grocery store bakery departments, artisan bread shops, and farmers market vendors rely on this size for their premium large loaves. The wicket-style packaging enables rapid filling at checkout or packing stations.

Common Questions
Q: What bread sizes fit in an 11x20 micro-perf bag?
A: This size fits large round loaves up to 10" diameter and oblong loaves up to 10x18". Ideal for 1.5-2 lb sourdough boules, large country loaves, and oversized artisan breads.
Q: How do micro-perforations keep bread fresh differently than regular bags?
A: Standard poly bags trap moisture, making crusts soggy within hours. Micro-perforations release steam and excess humidity while providing enough barrier to prevent drying. This maintains that just-baked crusty texture for 24-48 hours.
Q: Can these bags be heat sealed?
A: Yes. The 1.5" lip provides ample sealing area. You can also use twist ties, bread clips, or fold-over closures depending on your presentation preference.
