Product Overview
Overview
Our 9" x 11" x 2.75" cold gusset bag is a lightweight, high-performance alternative to bulky plastic clamshell containers. Designed for speed, savings, and sustainability, these bags are ideal for cold meal service in schools, meal distribution programs, and institutional food settings.
Pair them with any standard manual tape sealer to instantly reduce packaging costs, save space, and cut down on landfill waste.
Cost & Savings
At just $0.045 per bag, these gusseted liners cost up to 80% less than rigid plastic clamshells. Sold in cases of 3,000, they are engineered to hold full cold meals, with room for entrées, sides, and utensils — without the bulk.
Compare to Dart C90PST3 clamshells at $0.19 each — a switch could save your program over $13,000 annually (based on 500 meals/day for 180 days).
