Who uses compostable bread pouches

Bread pouches are used by artisan and retail bakeries, in-store bakeries at supermarkets, cafés and patisseries, and home and cloud bakeries. The pouch is clear for shelf appeal and food-contact safe.

The film is breathable, which helps keep the crust crisp instead of trapping moisture and going soggy. Day-old bread and the pouch can go into the same green bin for composting.

Sizes and thickness

SpecificationRange
SizesStandard loaf, baguette, and bun packs
Thickness20 – 30 microns

Pouches are made for standard loaves, baguettes and bun packs. When you request a quote, send the length, width and height of your packed product and tell us how you close the pouch. Leave room for the closure so that the pouch seals without straining.

How to choose the right thickness

Bread pouches are made in 20 to 30 microns. Soft sliced bread and buns pack well at the lower end. Baguettes and crusty loaves have harder edges that can rub through the film in transit, so the higher end suits them better. The pouch has a side seal, with an optional tin-tie, and a full-clarity body.

Disposal and storage

Used pouches can go to composting together with bakery waste where an industrial composting facility is available. Our specification states that the pouch returns to soil within 240 days in industrial composting. Store unused pouches in a cool, dry place; shelf life is 12 months from the date of manufacture.
