High-Density Food Bags on a Roll

Our 9 × 14-inch high-density bags on a roll provide a quick, hygienic and economical solution for everyday food packaging. Manufactured from lightweight high-density polythene, commonly known as HDPE, these clear bags are suitable for direct food contact and freezer storage.

The convenient roll contains 500 individual bags, making it ideal for busy commercial environments where staff need quick access to packaging throughout the day. The easy-tear format allows each bag to dispense separately while keeping the remaining bags together in a compact roll.

Their clear natural finish allows staff and customers to identify the contents easily. Meanwhile, the flexible film fits around many different food products, including fruit, vegetables, sandwiches, bakery products and fresh meat.

Bags On a Roll For Fast and Convenient Roll-Fed Packaging

The roll format keeps the bags organised and ready for use at food preparation areas, service counters and packing stations. Staff can remove one bag at a time, insert the product through the open top and close it using a twist tie, bag tape or a suitable bag-neck sealer when required.

Unlike loose counter bags, the roll helps keep unused bags together and reduces the risk of packaging becoming scattered around a busy workspace. Its compact shape also requires little storage space and fits conveniently beside food counters or preparation areas.

With 500 bags on each roll, businesses can package large quantities of products without replacing their packaging supply frequently.

Suitable for Food Contact and Freezer Storage

These high-density polythene bags are suitable for direct contact with food. They provide a practical packaging option for delicatessens, butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, cafés, caterers, market traders and domestic kitchens.

The bags are also suitable for storing food in the freezer. Their clear finish allows users to identify frozen contents without opening the bag. For best results, remove excess air, close the bag securely and label the contents with the product name and storage date before freezing.

These bags are not designed for cooking, reheating or use in conventional ovens, microwave ovens or direct contact with hot surfaces.

Available Size and Roll Quantity

• 9 x 4 inch / approximately 225mm x 350mm high-density food bags on a roll – suitable for fruit, vegetables, sandwiches, bakery products, meat portions and general food storage
• Quantity – 500 bags per roll

The stated dimensions follow the format:

Width × Height

The imperial and metric dimensions are nominal packaging sizes and may vary slightly due to normal manufacturing tolerances.

How to Measure Food Bags on a Roll

Measure the product at its widest and longest points. If the item has noticeable depth, allow additional width and length so that it fits comfortably without stretching the film.

These bags have a flat, non-gusseted construction. Therefore, bulky or irregularly shaped products use more of the available width and length than flat items.

When packaging several products together, arrange them as they will sit inside the bag before measuring the complete bundle. If the measurements sit close to the bag dimensions, request a sample before placing a larger order.

Why Choose Our Bags on a Roll?

Our high-density bags on a roll combine food-contact suitability, convenient dispensing and economical bulk packaging. Their lightweight construction makes them easy to open and fill, while the flexible film accommodates a wide range of food products.

The roll format keeps unused bags organised and allows staff to dispense one bag at a time. This can support faster packing in busy butcher shops, delicatessens, greengrocers, bakeries and commercial kitchens.

Each roll contains 500 bags, providing a practical supply for businesses with regular or high-volume packaging requirements. The clear finish also makes stock identification quick and straightforward.

Unlike our lightweight counter bags, these bags can also be used for food storage in the freezer.

PPWR Compliance Information

Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on Packaging and Packaging Waste, commonly known as the PPWR, applies to polythene and polypropylene packaging placed on the EU market. Material specifications and supporting product documentation are available for our polythene and polypropylene products to help customers complete their compliance assessments. However, material type, recycled content or food-contact suitability alone does not confirm full PPWR compliance. The responsible economic operator must assess the finished packaging and its intended use against all applicable requirements, including packaging minimisation, substances of concern, recyclability, recycled content, labelling and technical documentation. Customers intending to place these products on the EU market should email sales@expresspackaging.co.uk to request the latest available documentation and confirm suitability for their application before making a PPWR compliance claim.

Food Safety Information

These bags are suitable for direct food contact and can package a wide variety of fresh, prepared and dry food products. They are also suitable for storing food in the freezer.

Always follow appropriate hygiene, temperature-control and food-handling procedures. When packaging raw meat or other products that may release liquid, close the bag securely and use additional containment where necessary.

If you require a Food Safety Certificate or need to confirm suitability for a particular food type, temperature or storage period, please email sales@expresspackaging.co.uk before ordering.

Storage and Handling

Store the roll in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight, strong heat sources and potential contamination. Keep the bags inside their original packaging until required.

When using the bags for food, handle them with clean, dry hands and follow your usual food-hygiene procedures. Do not place sharp products inside the bags, as they may puncture the lightweight film.

Material and Responsible Disposal

These bags use standard high-density polythene and should not be described as biodegradable or compostable.

Reuse the bags where hygienic and practical. After use, follow your local authority or commercial waste contractor’s guidance for disposing of flexible HDPE film. Bags contaminated with food may require a different disposal route from clean plastic packaging.
