Serv-Pak gets custom bread bags made with your bakery's logo, sized to your loaf and ready for the counter, the market table or the wholesale case. Tell us the bread and how you sell it. We get the bag made at Prime Film's lines next door in Orlando when it starts as film they run, or through our converter partners when it does not.
Serv-Pak has served bakery buyers since 1978. A sourdough micro-bakery and a school district buying sandwich loaf bags by the case get the same thing from us: a bag that fits the bread and a straight answer on what it takes to print it.

Custom Bread Bags for Sourdough and Micro-Bakeries
Sourdough is where most bread bag questions start. A sealed plastic bag holds moisture, and moisture softens a crackly crust.
Sourdough bakers usually land on one of three bags:
- A micro-perforated bag that lets the loaf breathe and still shows it off.
- A paper bread bag with a clear film window, which we source through our partners.
- A clear bag for bread that customers slice or freeze at home, where a softer crust is no problem.
Micro-bakeries and cottage bakers ask the next question right away. Can a small bakery get bags with its own logo? Yes. Tell us how many loaves you sell in a month. A fully printed bag makes sense once the volume is there. Until then a stock clear bag with your own sticker keeps your name on every loaf while you grow.
How to Choose a Bread Bag
- Material. Polyethylene flexes around the loaf and handles the freezer. Polypropylene is crisper and clearer. Our polyethylene vs polypropylene guide puts them side by side.
- Gauge. Bag thickness is measured in mil. Send a bag you like and we will match the gauge.
- Size and gusset. A side gusset gives a tall sandwich loaf room without an oversized flat bag.
- Closure. Twist tie, plastic clip, tape or a reclosable zipper. Tell us what your counter staff use now.
- Print. Logo only, full coverage or a window. Printed bread bags are usually flexographic printed, so the number of colors shapes the quote.
- Food contact. Bread touches the bag. Say so in your request and the film is chosen for food contact from the start.
What to Send for a Fast Bread Bag Quote
- The bread and its size: width, height and length of the loaf.
- The bag style you want, or a photo of a bag you like.
- How many bags you use in a month.
- Your logo file and the number of print colors.
- Your closure and whether you fill by hand or on a wicket bagger.
- Your delivery city and the date you need bags in hand.
Bread Bags Made at Prime Film or Sourced Through Our Partners
Prime Film Extrusion shares our building on North Orange Blossom Trail and runs polyethylene blown film, including printed film. When your bread bag starts as film Prime Film runs, that film can come off their lines next door. Window bags, paper bags and anything else they do not run, we source through our converter partner network. Either way you get one quote and one Orlando company to call.

Product questions
Can a small bakery get custom bread bags with a logo?
Yes. Tell us how many bags you use in a month and we will match you to the right option. A smaller bakery can start with a stock clear bag and its own label. A fully printed bag fits once the volume is there.
What bread bag keeps a sourdough crust crisp?
A sealed plastic bag holds moisture and softens a crusty loaf. Many sourdough bakers choose a micro-perforated bag or a paper bag with a film window. Tell us how long the bread sits before it sells.
What are wicket bread bags?
Wicket bags are stacked on a wire wicket so a bagger or a fast packer can open and load them one after another. Include your bagger make and model in your quote request.
Are your bread bags food safe?
Food-contact materials are available for bread bags. Say in your quote request that bread goes straight into the bag so the material is chosen for food contact from the start.
Do you sell bread bags wholesale?
Yes. Serv-Pak quotes plain and printed bread bags by the case for bakeries and distributors. Stock sizes and custom printed bags go through the same quote form.
