White Sulphite Bags 8.5 x 8.5" (1000 pcs)

1. Product overview of White Sulphite Bags 8.5 x 8.5"

The Lumapack White Sulphite Bags 8.5 x 8.5" are a medium-format paper bag designed for everyday food-to-go and retail packaging. With a square opening of 216 mm × 216 mm, this size is well suited to wrapping and carrying a wide range of bakery, pastry, and deli items in a single, clean presentation.

Made from white sulphite paper, these bags provide a clean, bright appearance that suits counter service, bakery display, and café environments. The material offers good grease resistance under standard foodservice conditions, making it appropriate for direct food contact applications involving baked goods, pastries, and dry or lightly oiled snack items.

The 8.5 x 8.5" format sits between the compact 7 x 7" size and the larger 10 x 10" option within the Lumapack sulphite bag range, offering a practical middle ground for medium-portion items. Each case contains 1000 bags, supporting high-throughput counter and kitchen environments without frequent restocking.

2. Typical foodservice uses for White Sulphite Bags 8.5 x 8.5"

The 8.5 x 8.5" white sulphite bag is commonly selected for packaging individual food items that need a neat, hygienic wrap for takeaway or counter service. The square format supports a wide variety of items without requiring folding adjustments at the point of service.

Common applications include:

• Bakery and pastry wrapping used by bakeries, cafés, and artisan food producers where croissants, pain au chocolat, scones, and similar baked goods are served to customers at the counter or packed for takeaway
• Sandwich and deli counter packaging where filled rolls, wraps, and halved sandwiches are bagged quickly during service at delis, food-to-go counters, and hospitality kitchens
• Snack and confectionery bagging for items such as doughnuts, muffins, brownies, and small pastry selections offered individually or as part of a display
• Hot food and quick-service wrapping in chip shops, street food stalls, and fast casual outlets where items such as pasties, sausage rolls, and similar hot baked goods are served in bags
• Retail and gift food packaging used by farm shops, food markets, and independent retailers where a clean white presentation supports product display and customer handover

This bag size is particularly suited to bakeries, cafés, deli counters, and food-to-go operations handling medium-portion items at consistent volume across service periods.

3. Operational benefits of White Sulphite Bags 8.5 x 8.5" for foodservice and counter use

• Clean white presentation for counter and retail environments: The white sulphite finish provides a consistent, professional appearance that supports branding and display standards at bakery counters, café service points, and deli operations. This makes it a suitable choice where customer-facing presentation matters alongside practical packaging performance.
• Grease-resistant paper for bakery and pastry items: The sulphite paper construction offers good resistance to grease and oil migration from baked goods and lightly oiled snack items under standard service conditions. This helps maintain bag integrity and presentation during customer handover and short-duration carry.
• Square format for versatile item coverage: The equal-sided 8.5 x 8.5" dimensions allow the bag to accommodate a range of item shapes without adjustment, supporting faster packing at busy counter service points and reducing the need to stock multiple bag sizes for similar items.
• High case quantity for busy operations: With 1000 bags per case, this product supports high-volume environments where consistent availability is required across service periods without frequent restocking from storage.
• Suitable for direct food contact: The material meets food contact requirements, making it appropriate for use directly with baked goods, pastries, and similar food items without a secondary wrap or liner.
