6 Must-Have Kitchen Bags for Your Restaurant
Need help finding the right kitchen bags for your food service business? We got you! Here are the most essential kitchen bags (with top-selling examples) to help you achieve a functional, professional, and fully compliant restaurant:
#1 Kitchen Waste Bags
Kitchen waste bags are specially designed to contain food waste. They feature reinforced seals, ensuring they are leak-proof. This helps maintain hygiene and adhere to food safety standards.
Some designs even come scented, as seen with the best-selling PCTE88354CT Ultra Strong Scented Tall White Kitchen Bags by Hefty that delivers a pleasant citrus fragrance to mask the smell of old food.
#2 Resealable Food Bags
Resealable food bags, such as the Slider bags by Hefty , feature a convenient sliding closure that creates an air-tight seal, ensuring food stays fresh for longer. They are great for storing leftovers, marinating meat, and portioning ingredients.
#3 Freezer Bags
Freezer bags, like the super secure Double Zipper Freezer Bags by Ziploc , are made from ultra-thick freezer-safe materials that protect food from freezer burn. They are great for saving and preserving perfectly edible foods and ingredients (like ready-chopped fruits for smoothies, vegetables, and meat) for later use.
#4 Takeout Bags
If your restaurant offers a takeout service, it's super important to ensure your food is packed in professional and durable bags, to ensure you create a good impression on customers (especially those making a first order) while keeping food secure during transit.
The classic Thank You Handled T-Shirt Bag by Inteplast Group is a great choice to pack food in. These bags feature a pleasant and professional handled design that allows delivery staff and customers to easily carry takeout meals.
#5 Single-Serve Bags
Single-serve bags are an absolute must-have if your restaurant offers a to-go option with food and snacks. They are available in a range of styles, each suited to different types of meals. For instance, the insulating Foil Single-Serve Bags by Bagcraft are perfect for keeping hot meals, such as burgers and kebabs, while ensuring convenience for customers.
The eco-friendly EcoCraft Grease-Resistant Sandwich Bags by Bagcraft are brilliant for cold meals and snacks, like sandwiches or fries. Not only do these bags keep food protected, but they also save customers the hassle of greasy fingers!
#6 Ice Bags and Liners
Ice bags, such as the Ice Bags by Interplast Group , are made from durable, puncture-resistant, and freezer-safe materials, typically plastic. They are great for transporting ice, be it for fresh meat, beverages, or cooling purposes (such as cooling salad bars).
You can also get ice liners, which are designed to line ice buckets - a must-have choice for keeping beverages chilled, like wine or champagne.
