Sandwich Bread Packaging
Packaging for sandwich loaves, standard loaf bags with bottom gussets on a wicket for manual, semi-automated and fully automated packing.
The Foundation of Bakery Packaging
Sandwich bread is the highest-volume bakery product in Canada, and the packaging demands reflect that, every bag must open cleanly on the bread bagger, accept a sliced loaf without snagging, seal reliably, and maintain freshness through distribution to the retail shelf. Friesen Plastics produces a full range of sandwich bread formats for bakeries across Canada, in both white and whole wheat formats.
Our stock unprinted loaf bags use a 4-inch gusset that creates the familiar rectangular profile consumers expect on store shelves. The 1.5-inch lip provides the ability for wicket wire bundling, and our 1.0–2.0 mil bakery film balances clarity, strength, and machine-run performance. We can produce bags with custom printing for your bakery brand.
Packaging Features
1.5" Wicket Lip
The 1.5" lip carries the wicket holes, so bags bundle onto wicket wires for semi-automatic and automatic bagging. For hand packing, a short lip makes the open end easy to find and open.
Wicket-Ready
Bags arrive bundled on wire wickets, ready to load onto your bagging line.
Custom Brand Printing
photo-quality flexographic printing for bakery branding, variety identification, weight callouts, nutritional panels, and text.
Compatible Packaging Equipment
Our bakery bags are designed to run on the equipment your packing line already uses:
Bread Baggers
AMF, Burford, and other automated bread bagging machines. Our bags are optimized for these standard bakery-line workhorses.
Wicket Loaders
Wire wicket systems for high-speed bread line feeding at bakery production speeds.
Kwik Lok Closers
Automatic clip closers that apply the industry-standard bread clip for tamper evidence and reclosability.
HFFS Machines
Rollstock-fed horizontal form-fill-seal for bakeries running continuous automated bread packaging lines.
Retail & Private Label
We produce sandwich bread bags for bakeries supplying all major Western Canadian grocery chains. Our bags meet retailer specifications for artwork, barcode placement labeling (English/French), and nutritional panel formatting. We have experience with both branded and private label programs and can produce bags for multiple varieties (white, whole wheat, multigrain) with consistent brand identity across the line.
