Sundry Bags

Buyer’s Guide to Choosing Sundry Paper Bags

Sundry paper bags cover a mix of specialised food packaging for takeaway shops, bakeries, produce retailers and other hospitality businesses. Insinc’s range includes grease-resistant flat and satchel bags, burger and hot food bags, mushroom bags, foil-lined options and window bread bags from Detpak, Emperor and UniPak.

These bags are designed for different food types, so choosing the right format depends on the product, portion size and whether grease resistance, visibility or added insulation is required.

Which Sundry Bag Should You Choose?

Grease-resistant flat bags suit items such as pies, pastries and other relatively flat foods, while gusseted satchel bags provide more space for burgers, hot dogs and similar takeaway items.

Printed food bags are available for burgers, hot chips, hot dogs and pies, making them useful for quick-service food businesses that want easy product identification. Mushroom bags are also available in printed and strung formats for fresh produce packaging.

Grease-Resistant, Foil or Window Bags?

For foods that release oils or grease, choose a product specifically described as grease resistant. Detpak offers one-ply grease-resistant bags in several formats and sizes.

Foil bags provide a different packaging option for hot food such as chicken, while the Detpak loaf window bag allows customers to see the bread product inside. Always check the individual product specification for suitability with hot, greasy or moist foods.

Some products, including the large Detpak foil bag, are obsolete, so contact Insinc for current alternatives where required.
