Kraft Greaseproof Bags 8.5 x 8.5"

1. Product overview of Kraft Greaseproof Bags 8.5 x 8.5"

The Lumapack Kraft Greaseproof Bag 8.5 x 8.5" is a square open-top paper bag designed for direct food contact use in foodservice, deli, and bakery environments. Measuring 216 mm × 216 mm, it offers a versatile serving size suited to a wide range of hot and cold greasy or oily foods, from pastries and baked goods to fried snacks and deli items.

The bag is made from kraft paperboard with a grease-resistant lining that resists oil and moisture migration from food to the exterior surface. This maintains a clean, presentable finish during service and transit, without compromising the natural kraft appearance. The square format provides a stable opening for easy loading at the counter and a consistent presentation across service formats.

Each case contains 1,000 bags, making this format practical for deli counters, café service, market stalls, and takeaway operations where throughput is high and consistent presentation matters.

2. Typical foodservice uses for Kraft Greaseproof Bags 8.5 x 8.5"

The 8.5 x 8.5" format is a widely used mid-size option for single-item or small-portion service. It is commonly selected where a grease-resistant barrier is required alongside a natural paper presentation.

Common applications include:

• Pastries and baked goods served at café counters and bakery outlets, including croissants, pain au chocolat, muffins, and filled pastries where butter or filling may create surface moisture
• Fried snacks and street food such as chips, fritters, spring rolls, and battered items sold at food stalls, quick-service counters, and takeaway operations
• Deli and sandwich service where wraps, paninis, or open sandwiches with sauced or oiled fillings need a grease-resistant outer layer for hand-held service
• Donuts, churros, and confectionery with sugar glazes or oil coatings that would otherwise transfer onto a plain paper surface
• Snack portions and grab-and-go formats at market stalls, food festivals, and school or corporate catering environments where quick, clean service is required

The square format suits counter service settings where bags are stacked flat and pulled individually during service, and the 8.5 x 8.5" size covers most single-item or light-portion requirements without excess bag volume.

3. Operational benefits of Kraft Greaseproof Bags 8.5 x 8.5" for foodservice

• Grease-resistant lining for cleaner service: The inner lining resists oil and moisture migration through the bag wall, helping maintain a clean exterior surface during counter service and customer handling. This reduces the risk of soiled hands or packaging failure when serving oily or sauced foods.
• Suitable for hot cooked food: The bag handles freshly cooked and hot items under standard foodservice conditions, making it compatible with fried snacks, baked goods, and other warm food applications without structural loss.
• Natural kraft presentation: The kraft finish provides a professional, unfussy appearance that suits independent bakeries, delis, and street food operators looking for a clean visual that does not rely on branding or colour printing.
• High case quantity for high-throughput operations: With 1,000 bags per case, the format is practical for busy counters and market operations where restocking frequency needs to be minimised during service periods.
• Square format for consistent counter stacking: The square shape allows bags to be stored flat in a neat stack and pulled cleanly during service, supporting efficient counter workflows without bags twisting or collapsing when handled quickly.

5. What sets these Kraft Greaseproof Bags 8.5 x 8.5" from Lumapack apart

Lumapack positions this bag within a consistent range of greaseproof and plain paper bag formats, allowing operators to standardise their packaging selection across different food types and service contexts. The 8.5 x 8.5" format is the mid-size option in the Lumapack greaseproof bag range, sitting between the 7 x 7" and 10 x 10" variants and covering the broadest range of everyday counter service applications.

Grease resistance as standard

Unlike plain sulphite or kraft paper bags, the greaseproof lining in this product is specifically designed to resist oil and moisture at the contact surface. This makes the bag more suitable for fried, sauced, or butter-rich food items than an unlined paper alternative, without requiring operators to use foil or plastic-lined packaging.

Paper-based construction

The bag is made from paper, using plant-based and renewable materials — distinct from plastic-lined or foil-based alternatives. This makes it compatible with operators who prefer to use paper-forward packaging across their service range.

Recyclable where clean

As a paper-based product without heavy plastic lamination, the bag is suitable for paper recycling streams where the bag has not been heavily soiled by grease or food residue. Operators serving lightly oiled goods may find a high proportion of used bags remain suitable for recycling.
