Custom Cellophane Bags

Custom cellophane bags are clear film bags printed with your brand name or event design that let customers see the treat inside before they buy. We make them in true cellophane and in OPP film, in flat, gusseted, block-bottom and self-seal styles. Candy shops, bakeries, gift basket makers and event planners use them as part of our range of printed food bags.

True Cellophane Or OPP Film: Which One Fits Your Product?

True cellophane is a regenerated cellulose film made from wood pulp, while OPP is a clear polypropylene film that many shops also call “cello”. Cellophane has a soft, glass-like shine and breathes a little, which suits fresh bakery treats and gifts sold within a few days. OPP is stiffer, resists tearing and blocks moisture better, so it suits hard candy, popcorn and dry snacks that sit on a shelf longer. Shops that want a paper look with some see-through effect choose our custom glassine bags in place of film.

Crystal-Clear Film That Lets The Treat Sell Itself

Custom cellophane bags show the color, shape and texture of what is inside, and that view does most of the selling on a counter or a market table. Shoppers see the swirl on a cookie, the layers in a fudge square or the mix in a trail mix bag without opening anything. Clear cellophane bags with a small printed logo keep the product in full view and still tells customers where it came from.

Printing Names, Logos And Dates On Clear Film

Custom printed cellophane bags carry your logo, shop name or event message in 1-color to full-color print on clear film. We print with flexo or digital methods and food-safe inks, in CMYK or exact PMS colors. Many shops print a small logo band at the top or bottom so most of the bag stays clear. Personalized cellophane bags for weddings, baby showers and birthdays can carry names and dates. Our design team sets up the artwork for free, and you approve a free digital proof before we print.

Custom Cellophane Bags From Flat To Block-Bottom

Wax Paper Store prints custom cello bags in four styles, and one order of custom cellophane bags can mix styles with the same design.

Flat Cellophane Bags

Flat bags hold single cookies, lollipops, cake pops and small favors. They are light and quick to fill and tie.

Gusseted Cellophane Bags

Side gussets give room for popcorn, candy mixes, granola and a stack of cookies.

Block-Bottom Cellophane Bags

A flat, square base lets the bag stand on its own, which suits gift baskets and shelf displays.

Self-Seal Cellophane Bags

A peel-and-stick strip closes the bag without ties or tape, so packing goes faster on busy days.

Cellophane Bags For Candy, Cookies, Popcorn And Gifts

Custom cellophane bags work for almost any small food item that looks good on display, which is why cellophane treat bags are a bakery and candy shop staple. Candy shops pack fudge, chocolate bark and hard candy, and bakeries pack cookies, brownies, macarons and cake pops. Popcorn makers, nut roasters and gift basket businesses use larger gusseted and block-bottom bags. Bakeries that also sell cookies in paper often pair clear bags with our custom cookie bags.

How Long Do Treats Stay Fresh In Cello Bags?

Custom cellophane bags keep treats fresh for short-term display and gifting, but cello bags are not airtight storage. True cellophane lets a little air through, so cookies and baked goods taste freshest when they sell within a few days. OPP film blocks moisture better and keeps dry candy and popcorn crisp for longer. Products that need weeks of shelf life with full protection from air, light and moisture belong in our custom food mylar bags.

Twist Ties, Ribbons And Heat Seals

Custom cellophane bags need a closure, and the right one depends on how you sell. Twist ties are quick for bake sales and counters, while ribbons and bows suit weddings, holidays and gift baskets. Heat sealing closes the top flat and shows that the bag has not been opened, which helps for retail shelves. Self-seal bags close with their own adhesive strip.

Food-Safe Film For Direct Contact With Treats

Every custom cellophane bag is made with FDA-compliant, food-grade film and food-safe inks, so cookies and candy can touch the film directly. The print sits on the outside of the bag. True cellophane is a cellulose film made from wood pulp, and OPP is a polypropylene film that recycles with other number 5 plastics where local programs accept it.

Personalized Cellophane Bags For Shops And Events

Personalized cellophane bags turn a simple treat into a branded gift for customers, guests and staff. Shops use one design all year, and event planners print new designs for each wedding, party or corporate event. For larger gifts and retail items, our custom kraft bags carry the same logo in paper.
