Cookie bag
Matte laminate, heat-seal close500 minimum · 8 to 10 business daysA cookie bag is a printed flat or stand-up bag sized for a single large cookie or a small multi-pack, heat-sealed to hold freshness for a bakery, cafe, or packaged cookie brand. We produce it from 500 units in a matte laminate film, ready in about 8 to 10 business days after proof.
When to choose it, and when not to
Choose a cookie bag for a bakery, cafe, or packaged cookie brand selling individual or small multi-packs, where a food-safe heat-sealed bag at a lower cost per unit suits the product better than a rigid box.
Choose a cookie box instead if you're selling a larger assortment or want a more structured gift presentation, since a flexible bag suits single or small-pack cookies better than a stacked or arranged multi-item display.

Questions people ask
Does the heat seal actually keep cookies fresh for a few days?
Yes, a proper heat seal on the barrier laminate holds in freshness well for typical shelf life of a few days to a week depending on the cookie recipe. It's not a long-term shelf-stable seal for months of storage.
Can I get a clear window so the cookie is visible?
Yes, a clear window panel on an otherwise printed bag is a common choice for cookie bags since seeing the product often matters for the sale.
What's the difference between the flat bag and the stand-up pouch?
A flat bag suits a single large cookie or a couple stacked flat. The stand-up pouch with a bottom gusset works better for a multi-pack that benefits from standing upright on a shelf or counter.
Is the film actually food safe for direct contact?
Yes, the laminate is food-contact grade and rated for direct contact with baked goods, so no separate liner is needed.
Can different cookie flavors run as different bag designs in one order?
Each distinct print design runs as its own job with its own 500-unit minimum. Multiple designs combined in one order is fine as long as each design hits that minimum.
Do you offer a resealable zip closure instead of a permanent heat seal?
A zip-seal closure is available as an upgrade from the standard heat seal. It's worth considering if your customer will be opening and reclosing the bag over a few days rather than eating the contents right away.
How is a cookie bag different from a cookie box?
The cookie bag is a printed food-contact laminate bag, flat for one large cookie or stand up for a small multi-pack, heat sealed to hold freshness, with an optional window, from 500 units in 8 to 10 business days after proof. The cookie box is an 18pt food-contact SBS carton, tuck end or lock corner, for a stack or a layer of cookies, with an optional grease-resistant coating, from 200 units in 10 to 12 business days. Grab-and-go singles suit the bag; gift assortments suit the box.
