They are perfect to use when collecting bread from the baker or for the home baker; simply bake, allow your loaf to cool, slice and freeze in your reusable bread bag!
The Bread Bags have been made to Australian Bakers Industry Standards and the bag dimensions have been modelled off the size of single-use plastic bakery bags so they fit over most bakery bread slicer machines.
The unique 'roll and clip' closure reduced air movement around the bread to help it remain fresher for longer. Bread can be stored in an Onya bread bag for up to 3 months in a frost-free freezer and will not sustain freezer burn due to the unique double lining and airtight roll and lock closure.
When the bread is finished, pull out the inner lining and dispose of any crumbs then reuse again. It is not necessary to wash it every time.
How to clean
Hand wash in luke-warm water when required. Do not machine wash as buckles may damage the inside of your washing machine.
Tips
Most fresh bread purchased at a bakery or made at home is preservative free meaning that your loaf will likely only last 2-3 days stored on your benchtop before going stale. To preserve your bread for longer it is best to freeze your bread when it is cool but fresh.
Ideally, fresh bread should never be stored in the fridge as a moist environment can encourage bacteria to form, forming mould.
The goal for these reusable bread bags is to help people to reduce single-use plastic waste when purchasing bread from the baker, not to make bread last longer on the benchtop.
Although made from recycled plastic drink bottles and technically plastic, the rPET material that makes our bags is woven in nature not solid state plastic like a single-use plastic bread bag which is non-permeable for air and water.
Because of the woven nature of the fabric, a solid-state plastic bag will definitely prevent air from reaching the loaf better than our bread bags will when storing your bread on the benchtop, which is why we mention that bread will only really last 2-3 days on the benchtop, and will likely only be suitable for toast after the first 24hrs.
Onya Bread Bag packaging is made from post-consumer recycled material and printed with water-based inks so it is suitable for both recycling or composting!
