Printed Paper Bags

Custom Cheese Packaging Bags

Packing cheese for a shelf is harder than wrapping it at a counter. It has to breathe, hold its moisture, and still look appealing after two days in a chiller.

Those requirements pull against each other, which is why cheese packaging is a specialist product.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Cheese Packaging Bags

Pick a colour, put your name on it, and see how the idea reads before you ask anyone for a price. It is a sketch rather than a manufacturing proof — the real shape is cut from the product you already serve.

Finish

Show a repeating pattern

On unbleached board every colour prints warmer than it looks here. Two inks chosen for kraft beat four fighting the brown.

Carry this into the full designer

The full page adds the size, board, print and quantity, then sends the whole specification over in one go. Nothing is committed to at any point.

Breathe, but Not Too Much

Fully sealed, cheese sweats and the surface spoils. Fully open, it dries and cracks. The packaging has to sit between the two for the length of its shelf life.

That balance is what a cheese bag is designed around, and it is why an ordinary food bag performs poorly.

For a cheesemonger cutting to order, counter wrap for cheese cut to order is the appropriate material.

What Retail Cheese Packs Need

Controlled breathability suited to the type of cheese.
A window or printed description, since customers buy by variety.
Space for weight, use-by and allergen information.
A closure the customer can reuse at home.

Different cheese types have different needs, so tell us what you are packing rather than asking for a general bag.

Ordering, Artwork and Delivery

Getting a Quote

Measure the item, then add enough on each side to fold and tuck. We reply with a written specification, the minimum order quantity and the lead time for your job.

Artwork

One or two colours reproduce most reliably on an absorbent stock. Full file requirements are set out in our artwork guidelines.

Turnaround

Lead times depend on the print method, run length and press schedule, so we confirm yours on the quote rather than publishing a single figure.

Delivery in the UK

Orders are dispatched on national carriers to any UK address. Seedelivery information for how dates are given.

Custom Cheese Packaging Bags: Common Questions

Can we use an ordinary food bag for cheese?

It will hold the cheese and it will not manage moisture. Sealed too tightly the surface sweats within a day or two, which customers see through the pack.

Does the bag suit every type of cheese?

Not really — a hard aged cheese and a soft rind need different things from packaging. Tell us what you are packing and we will specify against it rather than offering one bag for everything.

Does one bag suit every cheese?

No. A hard aged cheese and a soft rind need different things. Tell us what you pack and we will specify against it.

Should the bag have a window?

Customers buy cheese by variety and appearance, so a window helps. Printing the variety clearly is the cheaper alternative.

Can the customer reseal it?

A reseal is worth having, since cheese is used over days rather than at once. It also reduces waste.

What information has to appear?

Weight, variety, use-by and allergen information among others. Confirm the full requirement with your own labelling process.

Why does breathability matter?

Sealed airtight the cheese sweats; fully open it dries. The packaging has to sit between the two for its shelf life.

Do these suit a farm shop?

They are frequently bought for one, alongside cheesemongers packing ahead rather than cutting to order.

How do we size them?

From your standard cut weights. Cheese is sold by weight, so the bag follows those bands rather than a volume.

Can we order these alongside cheese paper?

Yes, and counters selling both pre-packed and cut-to-order usually need each. Running them in one job shares the setup.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

Sizing questions are usually quicker on the phone, especially if you have the product in front of you.
