Serv-Pak supplies food service bags wholesale to delis, restaurants, caterers and school kitchens. Deli bags, sandwich bags, hot food bags and bun and pan bags come plain by the case or printed with your name. Tell us the food and how your kitchen packs it. We get the bags made at Prime Film next door when they start as film Prime Film runs, and through our converter partners when they do not.
Food service and institutional kitchens are where Serv-Pak started in 1978. We know a bag that slows down the lunch line costs more than the bag.

Deli Bags Wholesale With Zipper or Fold-Top

Food Service Bags for Schools and Institutional Kitchens

How to Choose a Food Service Bag
- Temperature. Hot, cold and frozen food each need a different film. Tell us the temperature and how long the food stays in the bag.
- Material. Polyethylene is tough and low cost. Polypropylene is clearer for display. Our polyethylene vs polypropylene guide compares them.
- Gauge. Heavier film for heavy or sharp food and lighter film for sandwiches. See our bag thickness and gauge guide.
- Closure. Zipper, fold-top, twist tie or heat seal. Match it to how fast your line moves.
- Food contact. Food goes straight into these bags. Say so and the film is chosen for food contact from the start.
