Baguette bag sizes

A baguette bag is a long, narrow paper bag with side gussets, for a French stick, a half baguette or a sub. Here are the sizes bakery suppliers keep in stock, from a 35 cm sandwich bag to one that covers a whole loaf.

Stock sizes of a few suppliers, not a standard: every maker's list is a little different. A gusset of 0 is a flat bag. Suppliers rarely say how they measure the gusset; here it is the side fold opened out.

Reading the sizes

  • Width × gusset × length: the front face, the side fold opened out, and the bag from top to bottom.
  • UK inch sizes such as 4 × 6 × 14 mean a 4 in face that opens to 6 in across: a 2 in (50 mm) gusset.
  • Length: a full baguette is about 60–65 cm. Many shops pick a shorter bag so the end of the loaf shows; a 70 cm bag covers it whole.

Names

In the US these are bread bags, baguette bags or hoagie bags. In the UK and Australia they are long satchel bags or French stick bags. The paper is thin white or brown kraft, often with a film window down the front.

For shorter bags see the pinch bottom paper bag sizes.
