Brown Paper Bags 8.5" x 8.5" 1000 Pack
Deli counter sandwich bag
The 8.5" square footprint is the default sandwich-shop and deli-counter size: long enough to take a baguette without overhanging the opening, and roomy enough for two filled rolls, a pasty and a cake, or a larger pastry combination served single-handed at the till. Supplied strung, pickers can pull bags one-handed during the lunch rush. Operators running shorter wrapped items often pair this size with the smaller 10 inch brown kraft paper bag on the same service line.

Frequently asked questions
Will an 8.5" bag hold a standard baguette?
The 8.5" length suits most standard sandwich-shop baguettes and sub rolls without the end overhanging the opening.
What does strung mean in practice?
The bags are tied at the corner so counter staff can pull one bag at a time, speeding service during lunch rush.
Are these bags suitable for hot food straight from the oven?
Grease resistance is not stated on the packaging, so a greaseproof-lined bag is safer for very greasy hot items.
