Our range includes paper carrier bags, plastic carrier bags, clear polythene food bags, bread bags, baguette bags, film-fronted bags, vacuum bags, self-seal bags, food bags on roll and specialist food bags for carrying, storing, portioning, presenting and protecting suitable foods and products.

Different bags are designed for different jobs. Paper and plastic carrier bags are primarily used for carrying takeaway and retail orders, while clear polythene bags, vacuum bags, self-seal bags and bags on roll provide practical options for food preparation, portioning and storage. Bakeries also use a wide range of polythene, paper, baguette and film-fronted bags for bread, pastries, sandwiches and other bakery products.

We also stock specialist packaging for butcher counters, meat preparation and selected hot-food applications. Always check the individual product specification when you require packaging for direct food contact, freezer storage, heat exposure, vacuum sealing or another specific application, as suitability varies by product.

Paper Carrier & Grab Bags for Takeaway Orders

For takeaway collection and retail orders, choose a carrier bag that suits the dimensions, shape and weight of the complete order. Our paper carrier and grab bags include brown kraft and white paper options in a range of sizes and handle styles for foodservice and retail businesses.

Selected SOS and handle-free bags open out to provide useful space for suitable takeaway containers, bakery boxes and groceries, while flat-handle and twisted-handle paper bags provide convenient carrying options for customer collection orders.

Businesses looking for a plastic alternative can browse our plastic carrier bags. Compare the dimensions and carrying format of each product with the containers, food boxes or retail items normally included in your orders.

Polythene Food Bags for Storage, Preparation & Portioning

Polythene bags have a much wider role in commercial kitchens than simply carrying an order. Our clear polythene food bags are available in a broad selection of sizes and gauges for applications including food preparation, portioning, ingredient organisation, bakery use and storage. Selected products are available in both perforated and non-perforated formats.

Clear bags can make it easier for staff to identify ingredients and prepared products during busy service. Different sizes and gauges are used throughout bakeries, catering kitchens, butchers, delis, restaurants and other food businesses, so choose a bag with the dimensions and product specification required for the intended use.

For smaller portions and products that benefit from a convenient resealable closure, browse our self-seal and grip-seal bags.

For businesses that need quick-access tear-off polythene bags at produce counters or food preparation stations, browse our food bags on roll.

Bakery, Bread & Baguette Bags

Bakeries use several different bag types depending on the product being packed. Options within our range include clear polythene bread bags, perforated bread bags, paper baguette bags, French-stick bags and film-fronted bakery bags. These formats can be used for suitable loaves, sliced bread, baguettes, French sticks, rolls, sandwiches, pastries and other baked goods.

For bread and sliced loaves, our clear polythene bag range includes selected perforated and non-perforated bakery formats. Examples include our non-perforated clear bread bags and larger clear polythene bakery bags.

Perforated and non-perforated bags serve different purposes. Choose the format appropriate for the bakery product and required storage conditions rather than assuming one type is suitable for every bread or bakery application.

Long bakery products such as baguettes and French sticks can be packed in specialist paper formats. Our paper food and bakery bag range includes products such as kraft ribbed baguette paper bags, kraft baguette collars with perforated film and long paper bags for French sticks.

For bakery products where presentation and product visibility are important, our film-fronted bakery bags combine paper with a clear film section so customers can see suitable sandwiches, pastries, bread and other bakery products at the counter.

Vacuum Bags for Commercial Food Storage

For applications where air needs to be removed from the package, our vacuum bags and pouches are available in multiple sizes for commercial food preparation and storage.

Vacuum bags can be used for suitable meat, fish, cheese, produce and prepared-food applications when paired with compatible vacuum-sealing equipment. Always check the individual bag specification for machine compatibility, temperature limits, freezer suitability and sous-vide suitability where required.

Butcher Packaging & Meat Counter Supplies

Butcher shops, meat counters, fishmongers, delis and catering businesses often need more than one type of packaging during preparation and customer service. Our butcher packaging and meat counter supplies bring together commonly used products for these businesses.

The range includes butchers counter bags, Victory 3 and Victory 5 high-tensile food bags, clear burger discs, meat protective paper and PVC meat-wrap film, as well as replacement hot wires for compatible tray-wrapping equipment.

Butcher counter bags are useful for suitable everyday counter portions, while larger Victory food bags provide an option for food packing and preparation where additional capacity is required. Burger discs help separate prepared patties, while protective paper and meat-wrap film serve different wrapping and presentation requirements.

Foil-Lined Bags for Suitable Hot Foods

For suitable burgers, wraps, kebabs, grilled sandwiches and other takeaway foods, our foil-lined food bags provide a specialist foodservice packaging option.

Select the bag size and construction according to the food being packed, and always check the individual product description where temperature, direct food contact or holding conditions are important.

How to Choose the Right Takeaway or Food Bag

• For takeaway meals and collection orders: choose a paper or plastic carrier bag with dimensions and carrying capacity suitable for the containers and overall order.
• For bread and bakery products: consider clear polythene bread bags, paper baguette bags, French-stick bags or film-fronted bakery bags depending on the product and presentation required.
• For food preparation and storage: consider clear polythene bags, self-seal bags, vacuum bags or food bags on roll and confirm the individual product's suitability for the intended application.
• For portioning and ingredient organisation: clear polythene and self-seal bags provide a variety of sizes for commercial kitchens and food preparation areas.
• For bakery and counter display: film-fronted and selected paper bags offer useful options where presentation and visibility are important.
• For meat and deli preparation: choose specialist butcher packaging according to whether food is being wrapped, separated, tray-packed, stored or handed to a customer.
• For suitable hot foods: choose a packaging format intended for the particular food and serving conditions, such as an appropriate foil-lined food bag.
