Frequently Asked Questions
What types of food are food storage bags best for?
Food storage bags are ideal for a wide range of foods. Produce bags are designed for fruits and vegetables, allowing them to breathe while also keeping them fresh. Snack and sandwich bags can be used for dry goods, baked goods, and portioned meals. Shrink bags are designed for meats and cheeses that need to be tightly sealed to keep them preserved for extended periods. Specialty bags have gussets to accommodate bulkier items.
When should I use produce bags instead of regular food storage bags?
Fresh fruits and vegetables need good air circulation to prevent moisture buildup and spoilage. Produce bags are the best choice in these cases. These bags are generally thinner, 0.5 to 0.55 mil, and are manufactured for the storage of grocery store or home produce. Prepared foods, sandwiches, and items that need airtight protection are best stored in thicker, zip-top or flip-top food storage bags.
What are vented produce bags used for?
Vented produce bags feature small holes that let airflow through while keeping the product inside. These bags are ideal for products that emit moisture and require airflow, such as mushrooms, leafy greens, and some vegetables. The ventilation prevents the accumulation of condensation, which can cause the product to spoil quickly, and prolongs freshness. They are available in FDA-approved LDPE and polypropylene materials.
Are snack and sandwich bags appropriate for everyday meal preparation?
Absolutely, snack and sandwich bags are great for daily meal preparation. Sandwich bags in 0.75-1 mil thickness, with either flip-top or zip-lock closures, provide proper portion control for lunches and take-along meals. They meet FDA standards for direct food contact and are great for sandwiches, crackers, cut veggies, and other prepared foods. Their compact size and secure closures prevent leakage and help to preserve freshness throughout the day.
Are these bags safe for direct contact with food?
Yes, they are. Our food storage bags are FDA-approved for direct food contact. Materials such as LDPE, HDPE, linear LDPE, polypropylene, and co-extruded polypropylene are safe in accordance with food safety standards. These are materials designed for specific food services that do not affect quality or contaminate stored items. Always check for FDA approval when selecting bags for food storage applications.
Do you stock reusable produce bags or reusable food storage bags?
Food storage bags are for single-use applications. Our selection covers disposable bags made of recyclable materials such as LDPE, HDPE, and polypropylene. Although none of them are reusable bags, many of them are recyclable, thus supporting environmental responsibility.
Can these bags be used for storing meat, cheese, and other perishables?
Yes, these bags are specialized shrink bags for storing meat and cheese. These 2.2 mil shrink film bags provide tight-sealing, FDA-approved protection that preserves perishables with minimal air exposure, helping prevent freezer burn. Available in sizes such as 6" x 12" and 8" x 14", they're ideal for commercial packaging of meats and cheeses. Other FDA-approved bags are available to accommodate a variety of perishables, depending on storage requirements.
Are food storage bags available for wholesale or bulk purchase?
Yes, our food storage bags are available for purchase in bulk and are suitable for both commercial and wholesale use. This bulk availability makes them economical for restaurants, grocery stores, and food service operations. Contact Packaging Friends to find out more.
Can food packaging bags be customized and printed?
Specific types of these food bags offer custom printing options. For a quote on custom branding, logos, or particular messaging for your food packaging bags, contact Packaging Friends. We also have information on minimum orders, pricing, lead time, and design specifications.
What is the difference between LDPE and HDPE produce bags?
LDPE bags are more flexible and softer, offering greater clarity. They are ideal for bagging purposes where stretch and conformity are needed. HDPE bags are stiffer, more durable, and have higher tensile strength, making them suitable for carrying heavier produce. Generally speaking, LDPE offers better puncture resistance, whereas HDPE is preferable for tear resistance. Both materials are FDA-approved, recyclable, and heat-sealable for food storage.
Can these bags be used as freezer bags for long-term storage?
Yes, they can. Several types of these food bags are suitable for freezer and long-term use. The thicker bags work better for protection against moisture and temperature fluctuations.
