Glassine
Greaseproof side-gusset bags made of parchment, compostable, plastic-free packaging for food and retail.
Choose sustainable packaging without compromising on appearance or functionality. Our Glassine side-gusset bags are made from high-quality paper and are fully compostable. Thanks to their subtle, semi-transparent look, you can present products attractively while retaining a natural appearance. Ideal for bakeries, delicatessens, catering businesses, and webshops that consciously choose environmentally friendly packaging.
What is glassine and why is it so suitable?
Glassine paper is a smooth, dense, semi-transparent paper with excellent barrier properties for (preferably dry) food products. The material is plastic-free, biodegradable, and recyclable. The side-gusset construction provides extra space and stability, keeping sandwiches, cookies, pastries, cheeses, and nut mixes neatly packaged. Its translucent finish allows customers to see the contents at a glance, boosting presentation and sales. At the same time, glassine feels sturdy and tears less easily than standard paper. In short: a practical combination of aesthetics and performance.
Food-safe, hygienic, and user-friendly
These food-safe side-gusset bags are designed for direct contact with dry foods. The smooth interior makes products easy to insert and remove, while their grease-resistant properties handle light oils and crumbs better than standard paper. The bags are quick to open and efficient to fill at the counter—ideal for peak times in a store or bakery. They can also be easily closed with a label, sticker, or cardboard band, giving you an instant space for brand communication and product information.
