Printed Deli Bag

The Printed Deli Bag takes the same grease-resistant glassine base and sizes it for what a cafe, deli, or bakery counter actually hands across the register every day — sandwiches, wraps, hand pies, and individually wrapped pastries that need to stay contained without steaming or going soggy in transit. Glassine’s natural resistance to oil and light moisture means a buttery croissant or a dressed sandwich can sit in the bag through a lunch rush without the bag failing or the print smearing.

Because this is a food-contact application, we print with food-safe flexographic ink in one or two colors, sized to leave enough clean glassine showing that the bag doesn’t look over-printed or heavy — most cafes want their name and mark visible at a glance, not a bag that competes with the food inside it. The open-top, flat or side-gusseted construction folds closed quickly by hand, which matters during a fast counter-service window when staff don’t have time to fuss with packaging.

This is the format we hear about most from independent cafes and bakeries trying to build a recognizable to-go presence without committing to expensive branded boxes for every order, and from delis and sandwich shops that want their bag to double as a walking advertisement once a customer carries it out the door. It’s also a common choice for catering operations packing individual portions for pickup.

Sizes run from a compact 6×6 in hand-pie bag up to a 10×12 in full sandwich or wrap size, in natural, white, or kraft glassine. Minimum order is 500 pieces, with pricing improving at the volumes a busy counter typically orders in.
