What Are Saddle Pack Bags?

Saddle pack bags, also known as saddle pack deli bags, are a specialized type of packaging bag with a unique fold-over, dispenser design. While conventional food packaging bags are supplied on rolls or in boxes, saddle bags are folded and arranged so they can be retrieved quickly, one at a time, with a simple pull-off system. They get their name from their distinctive “saddle” system, in which each bag is draped or layered over the next to form an interlocking chain that makes it easy to remove bags single-handedly.

Our bags are made of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) with a thickness of 14 microns (approximately 0.55 mil). This material protects against moisture and potential contaminants and is transparent to make content visible. This is especially important in shops and retail spaces where customers want to see what’s inside. Also, each bag is FDA-approved for direct food contact, making them compliant with safety standards for food service operations.

Our saddle bags are designed for high-traffic food service settings. We supply them in cases of 2,000 units, available in two sizes:

•6.5" x 7" for small food items,

•8.5" x 8.5" for larger-sized sandwiches or food products.

The bags can be heat-sealed for maximum closure when necessary.

With their unique dispensing method, our saddle pack bags can streamline food packaging workflows. Grasp them with one hand while picking up food products with the other.

Why settle for another bag? Our saddle pack bags reduce service time and improve the customer experience, making them the ideal bag for busy food service areas.

Everything You Need to Know about Saddle Pack Bags

How do saddle pack bags differ from other typical deli bags?

Our saddle pack bags use a distinctive fold-over dispensing method in which bags are stacked on top of one another and can be retrieved with one hand. Unlike food bags stored on rolls or in boxes, this connected design provides quick, easy access to the bags. Their packaging structure is designed for high-volume food-service operations where speed and efficiency matter. 

What dimensions are available for saddle pack bags?

Our saddle pack bags come in two standard sizes: 6.5" x 7" and 8.5" x 8.5". The smaller dimension is ideal for items like pastries, cookies, small sandwiches, or individual servings. The larger size is ideal for full-sized sandwiches, wraps, multiple items, or larger portions. Both sizes are available in cases of 2,000 units.

Are saddle pack bags safe for direct food contact?

Yes, they are. All of our saddle pack bags are FDA-approved for direct food contact and meet strict safety and regulatory requirements. They are manufactured from HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), an excellent protective barrier against moisture and contaminants. Heat-seal them for a secure seal that preserves food freshness. They are also safe for storage and for serving a wide range of food products in commercial environments.

Can saddle pack bags be heat-sealed?

Absolutely, our range of saddle pack bags is designed for heat sealing. Many fast-food services use these bags solely as open-top containers for immediate consumption, but the heat-sealing feature adds extra flexibility, letting you pre-package food items. Heat sealing also makes the contents tamper-proof and extends the shelf life of products that require airtight storage.

Which types of businesses benefit most from using saddle pack bags?

The types of businesses that benefit most from our saddlebag packaging are those in the food packaging industry, such as delicatessens, sandwich shops, bakeries, grocery store deli counters, food trucks, and quick-service restaurants. Any high-volume food operation that requires rapid packaging needs such a quick-dispensing design, as one-handed access reduces service time and improves workflow productivity.

How are saddle pack bags packaged for storage?

Packaging Friends’ saddle pack bags are supplied in cases of 2,000 bags, compactly arranged for easy storage. The 6.5" x 7" size weighs around 4.73 pounds per case, while the 8.5" x 8.5" size weighs approximately 6.99 pounds. They are easy and convenient to store in cases and take up minimal space near service areas for quick access, leaving plenty of room for other accessories.
