Bread packaging

A freshly baked loaf deserves the right bread packaging. Our paper bread bags come in several sizes – plain, gusseted or with a window – ideal for gifting, farm shops or market stalls. At home, linen bread bags and bread totes keep your bread fresh for longer and replace plastic.

The paper bread bags come in packs of 25 and range from 23 x 12 cm for small loaves and rolls to 37 x 20 cm for large loaves. Gusseted bags offer more room for round loaves and plaited bread, while the window shows off a beautiful crust. For storing bread at home, there is a brown and a green three-layer cotton bread bag alongside the linen bag, plus a beige bread tote with zip and drawstring.

Tips for fresh, beautifully packed bread

• Cool first: only pack bread once it has cooled completely – otherwise the crust goes soft.
• Right size: slim formats such as 34 x 14 cm suit baguettes and long loaves, while wider gusseted bags suit plaited bread and round loaves.
• Let it breathe: in a linen bag or bread tote the crust stays crisp for longer than in a plastic bag.
• For selling: label the bags with the type of bread and baking date – your customers will appreciate it.

Frequently asked questions about bread packaging

How does homemade bread stay fresh for longest?

Store bread at room temperature in a linen bag or bread tote, not in the fridge. That way the crumb stays moist and the crust crisp.

Which paper bread bag suits which loaf?

Small loaves and rolls fit into 23 x 12 cm, medium loaves into 28 x 14 cm or 28 x 15 cm. For large loaves, choose 34.5 x 17 cm or 37 x 20 cm with a window.
