How Many Glassine Bags Should You Order?
The most common question we get on a first order is not about size or color — it is how many to buy. Order too few and you are reordering within weeks at a worse per-unit price; order too many and you are storing a product that can yellow if it sits too long in direct light.
The right number depends on what you are packaging for, so here is how we walk customers through it by use case.
For a bakery or cafe
Estimate your daily to-go and takeout volume, multiply by 90 days, and round up to your next price-tier quantity — ordering quarterly at a higher volume tier almost always beats reordering monthly at a lower one.
For a retail or wholesale rollout
Base the order on your current SKU velocity across all locations, plus a 15–20% buffer for a new launch, since first-run demand is hard to predict precisely.
For a wedding or single event
Order for your guest count plus a 5–10% buffer for assembly breakage and last-minute additions, and place the order at least three to four weeks ahead of the event.
