Bread Boxes

Bread packaging covers the bags, sleeves, and boxes used to wrap or box a fresh loaf, sized and ventilated to suit the bread's crust and shelf life. Unlike most food packaging, airflow is often just as important as protection, since fully sealed packaging can trap moisture and soften a crust that should stay firm.

Why Ventilation Matters for Bread

A fresh loaf continues to release moisture after baking. Fully sealed packaging traps that moisture against the crust, leading to a soft, sometimes soggy result. Perforated bags, open-ended sleeves, or windowed boxes allow enough airflow to keep the bread in better condition for longer.

Styles We Make

We produce paper bread bags with a branded print, kraft sleeves for artisan loaves, and windowed boxes for pre-sliced or specialty bread sold in retail. Ventilation holes or an open structure can be built into any of these.

Materials

Food-contact-safe paper and kraft board are standard, chosen for breathability as well as strength.

Order Sizes We Support

Custom bread packaging is available from around 50 to 100 units, suiting independent bakeries building a branded takeaway range.

Average Bread Packaging Prices

As a general guide, bread packaging typically costs between £0.10 and £0.60 per unit, depending on format, material and print.

Sustainability

Paper-based bread packaging is widely recyclable and often compostable, avoiding the plastic bags used by some larger bakeries and supermarkets.
