Cookie Bags

Cookie Type & Packaging Guide: Best Bags for Every Baked Delight

Not all cookies are created equal — and neither are their bags. To maintain freshness, enhance presentation, and ensure safe transport, choosing the right cookie bag for the right kind of cookie is key. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Soft-Baked Cookies (Chewy Chocolate Chip, Snickerdoodles, etc.)

Recommended Bags: Resealable OPP Bags, Zip-lock Stand-up Pouches, Gusseted Clear Bags with Inner Foil

Why: Soft cookies are more moisture-sensitive. Resealable bags help preserve softness and prevent drying out. Gusseted designs allow stacking without squishing.

Add-on Tip: Include a food-grade moisture absorber packet for extended freshness.

2. Crisp or Crunchy Cookies (Butter Cookies, Biscotti, Shortbread)

Recommended Bags: Flat Clear Self-Adhesive Bags, Kraft Paper Cookie Bags with Window, Clear Cello Bags with Twist Ties

Why: These cookies need airflow resistance but don’t require airtight sealing. Transparent cello or kraft window bags allow visibility while maintaining crispness.

Add-on Tip: Add a branded sticker or wax seal for a rustic gift-ready finish.

3. Decorated Cookies (Iced Sugar Cookies, Custom Logo Cookies)

Recommended Bags: OPP Bags with Resealable Adhesive, Hard Plastic Front-Back Combo Bags, Premium Foil-Back Pouches (for added protection)

Why: These cookies often feature fragile icing. Flat bags with rigidity or backing keep decoration intact and visible.

Add-on Tip: Use cardboard cookie inserts to prevent sliding inside the bag.

4. Filled or Sandwich Cookies (Macarons, Whoopie Pies, Jam-Filled)

Recommended Bags: Zip-Lock Barrier Pouches, Stand-Up Pouches with Foil Lining, Mini Kraft Pouches with Inner Wax Lining

Why: These have higher moisture content and need sealed bags to avoid leakage or softening. Barrier pouches offer superior shelf life.

Add-on Tip: Label ingredients clearly for allergy-conscious customers.

5. Mini Cookies / Bite-Sized Snacks

Recommended Bags: Small OPP Self-Seal Bags, Cone-Shaped Clear Bags for Party Favours, Printed Cartoon Cookie Bags for Events

Why: Great for sampling, kids' events, or party favours. Small bags are economical and ideal for portion control.

Add-on Tip: Bundle with thank-you cards or branded paper tags for gifting.
