Food Packaging Pouch? What Packery Stocks Instead
On this page 6 sections
Packery does not stock food packaging pouches, so you won't find stand-up, zip-lock or heat-seal pouches in our range. For bagging dry snacks, baked goods and handhelds, we carry kraft flat bags, kraft handle bags and greaseproof paper sheets instead, all sold by the carton.
Key takeaways
- There are no food pouches in the Packery catalogue. If you need a sealed, resealable pouch, you will have to source it elsewhere.
- For a single pastry, cookie or bag of dry snacks, the Kraft Bag – 2WB Flat (Carton of 500) is $9.05 per carton, or $0.02 each.
- For wrapping burgers, wraps and toasties, greaseproof sheets come in a 190x300mm size and a larger 400x330mm size.
- The "cutlery pouch" in the catalogue is a paper sleeve for cutlery that comes with a white napkin. It is not designed to hold food.
- There's no minimum order, and every product page shows both the carton price and the price per item.
Does Packery sell food packaging pouches?
No. We don't stock stand-up pouches, zip-lock pouches or any other sealed or resealable food pouch. Our range is built around open-top bags, wraps and containers for food that is eaten soon after it is served, which suits cafés, bakeries, food trucks and takeaway shops more than retail shelf packs.
If your search for a "food packaging pouch" was really about getting a muffin, a handful of biscuits or a toastie out the door, the products below will do that job. If you need a pouch that seals for shelf life, a specialist pouch supplier is the better fit.
What can I use instead of a pouch for dry snacks and baked goods?
For dry, single-serve items, use a kraft flat bag. The Kraft Bag – 2WB Flat (Carton of 500) is a brown paper bag measuring 200x200mm, priced at $9.05 per carton, which works out to $0.02 each.
It's a simple, open-top paper bag that suits counter sales of:
- croissants, muffins, scones and slices
- cookies and biscuits
- small serves of dry snacks such as pretzels or popcorn
The flat bag can also be custom printed with your logo, so it can carry your branding on every counter sale. See custom printing for how that works.
When a customer is taking several items at once, step up to a handle bag. The Kraft Bag – Brown Twisted Handle Takeaway Medium (Carton of 250) is made from recycled paper, measures 305x305x175mm and costs $49.25 per carton, or $0.20 each. It's the bag you hand over with a boxed order, a few pastries and a coffee, rather than the bag the food sits in directly.
What should I use for greasy handhelds like burgers and wraps?
Wrap them in greaseproof paper, then bag or box them. Greaseproof sheets are the closest thing in our range to a "pouch" for a handheld, because you can fold the sheet around a burger, wrap or toastie and hand it straight to the customer.
We stock two sizes in a yellow gingham print:
- Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham (Carton of 200): 190x300mm, $5.85 per carton, $0.03 each. Good for lining baskets or wrapping smaller items.
- Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham Large (Carton of 200): 400x330mm, $23.18 per carton, $0.12 each. Large enough to wrap a full burger or a filled wrap.
If you'd rather serve a handheld in something rigid, the Corrugated Takeaway Container – Brown Snack Box Large Plain (Carton of 200) is a brown corrugated box measuring 205x106x76mm, at $40.66 per carton or $0.20 each. It can also be custom printed. For more rigid options, browse our takeaway containers.
Is the cutlery pouch a food pouch?
No. The Kraft Cutlery – White Pouch With Napkin (Carton of 1000) is a paper sleeve for cutlery that comes with a white napkin, not a pouch for food. It's listed under Cutlery & Serving, measures 75x190mm (see the product page for the current price).
It comes up in searches for "pouch" because of its name, but its job is to keep cutlery and a napkin together in a takeaway order. Check the product page for exactly what is included before you order. Use it with boxed meals, salads or catered lunches where customers need cutlery on the go. It can be custom printed as well.
If you only need napkins on their own, the Kraft Napkins – Quilted Lunch GT Fold (Carton of 2000) are 300x300mm, at $50.77 per carton or $0.03 each.

Which one should I buy?
Match the product to what you're serving and how it leaves the counter:
- Bakery or café selling single pastries and cookies: the Kraft Bag – 2WB Flat (Carton of 500). At $0.02 each, it suits high-volume counter sales, and it can carry your logo.
- Burger bar, food truck or sandwich shop wrapping handhelds: the Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham Large (Carton of 200) for full-size burgers and wraps, or the smaller Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham (Carton of 200) for sliders, hot dogs and basket liners.
- Takeaway shop serving chips, nuggets or a handheld in a box: the Corrugated Takeaway Container – Brown Snack Box Large Plain (Carton of 200).
- Any venue sending out multi-item orders: the Kraft Bag – Brown Twisted Handle Takeaway Medium (Carton of 250) to carry everything together.
- Caterers and meal-box sellers: the Kraft Cutlery – White Pouch With Napkin (Carton of 1000), so cutlery and a napkin travel together in each order.
Many venues pair two of these, for example a greaseproof wrap inside a handle bag. If you're planning container quantities for a busy menu, our guide to buying takeaway containers in bulk covers carton planning, and small takeaway containers covers portion-sized options for sides and snacks.
