Flat Brown Greaseproof Lined Paper Bags
Flat brown greaseproof paper bags let you hand over a hot pie, a warm croissant or a bag of chips without oil soaking through to your customer’s hands. Each bag has a brown paper outer and a greaseproof inner lining. The lining holds back fat and moisture, and the outer layer stays tidy enough to carry. Disposable King stocks greaseproof lined paper bags in seven sizes across two shapes: 1/2, 1 and 2 Square, and 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 Long. Every size is packed 500 bags to a pack.
These greaseproof food bags are a staple for bakeries, patisseries, cafés, fish and chip shops, sandwich bars, market stalls and food vans. They’re flat, so they store compactly under the counter and are quick to open during a rush. We supply food businesses in Melbourne from our East Brunswick warehouse and deliver within 65 km of the Melbourne CBD. Choose the sizes that match your menu and order online, or contact the team to set up a trade account.
What Is a Greaseproof Lined Paper Bag?
A greaseproof lined paper bag is a flat paper bag with a greaseproof paper layer on the inside that resists oil and fat. The inner lining stops grease from passing through to the outer paper. The brown outer layer gives the bag its body and a natural, unbleached look. Greaseproof paper is made from densely refined pulp, so there are fewer gaps between the fibres for oil to travel through. That’s different from wax paper, which relies on a wax coating, and from baking paper, which is usually silicone-coated for oven use. Greaseproof lined bags are made for packing and carrying food, not for cooking in.
What Are Greaseproof Paper Bags Used For?
Greaseproof paper bags are used to wrap and carry food that is oily, buttery or warm. Common uses fall into three groups.
Bakery and Patisserie
Croissants, Danish pastries, doughnuts, muffins, sausage rolls and pies all leave butter or fat behind. A greaseproof bag keeps the pastry presentable and stops marks spreading to handbags or car seats. Flat bags also work well as greaseproof cookie bags for single biscuits, slices and brownies sold at the counter.
Sandwiches, Toasties and Wraps
Greaseproof sandwich bags suit filled rolls, toasted sandwiches and wraps with dressings or sauces. The lining stops oil and moisture from making the bag soggy, and the bag is quick to fold closed for takeaway.
Hot Chips and Fried Snacks
Fish and chip shops, food vans and event caterers use greaseproof bags for hot chips, dim sims, spring rolls, churros and potato cakes. A flat bag makes a practical single serve that customers can eat from on the go.
Square or Long: Which Greaseproof Bag Size Do You Need?
Square bags suit wide, rounded items. Long bags suit narrow, elongated items. The number before each name shows relative size within the range, from 1/2 (smallest) upward.
- Square (1/2, 1, 2): pies, pastries, doughnuts, cookies, toasties and small chip serves.
- Long (1/2, 1, 2, 3): sausage rolls, hot dogs, baguette halves, wraps and eclairs.
The easiest way to choose is to match the bag to your two or three best-selling items. Check each product page for the exact dimensions and compare them with your food. Most businesses stock a small square and a long size to cover the bulk of their counter sales.
Brown or White Greaseproof Bags?
Brown and white greaseproof bags work the same way. The difference is appearance. Brown bags have a natural kraft look that suits artisan bakeries, fish and chip shops and businesses with rustic branding. They also show minor grease spotting less than white bags do. White greaseproof bags give a cleaner, brighter presentation for patisseries and cafés with a light colour palette. For food that needs to stay hot for longer, foil lined paper bags hold heat better than paper alone.

FAQS
1. Are greaseproof paper bags the same as baking paper?
No. Greaseproof paper bags are made for packing and carrying food, while baking paper is designed for lining trays in the oven. Baking paper is usually silicone-coated to withstand oven heat and stop food sticking. Greaseproof paper resists oil because of its dense fibre structure. Don’t put greaseproof bags in the oven.
2. Can greaseproof bags hold hot food?
Yes. Greaseproof bags are widely used for hot pies, sausage rolls, chips and toasties straight from the warmer or fryer. The lining stops oil from passing through while the food is carried and eaten. Paper bags don’t insulate much, so for food that needs to stay hot on a longer trip, consider foil lined bags.
3. Are greaseproof lined paper bags safe for direct food contact?
Greaseproof lined bags are sold for packing ready-to-eat food and are widely used for direct contact with bakery items, sandwiches and hot snacks. If your food safety program needs supplier documentation for packaging, contact the Disposable King team and ask what information is available for the product you’re ordering.
4. How many bags come in a pack?
Each size of flat brown greaseproof lined bag comes in a pack of 500. That covers a few busy days for a bakery or chip shop, or several weeks for a café selling a handful of pastries daily. Buying several sizes at once can also help you reach the $150 (ex GST) free delivery minimum within 35 km of the Melbourne CBD.
5. Will grease still show through a greaseproof bag?
The greaseproof lining holds back most oil in normal use, so the outer bag stays clean enough to carry. Very oily food left in the bag for a long time can still mark the paper, especially if the bag is folded or pressed. Brown bags hide light spotting better than white bags.
6. Are greaseproof paper bags recyclable or compostable?
Clean greaseproof bags are paper-based. Once they hold oily food, though, most Australian councils won’t take them in kerbside paper recycling, because grease contaminates the recycled pulp. Some councils with food organics and garden organics (FOGO) bins accept food-soiled paper. Check your local council’s guidelines before advising customers.
7. What are the best greaseproof cookie bags?
For single cookies, slices and brownies, a small square greaseproof bag is the usual choice. The lining keeps butter from marking the paper, and the flat shape lets the biscuit sit neatly. For larger cookies or a few pieces together, step up to the 1 Square or 2 Square bag.
8. Which greaseproof sandwich bags fit a standard sandwich?
A square greaseproof bag suits most standard sandwiches and toasties, while a long bag suits rolls, baguettes and wraps. Bread and filling sizes vary between businesses, so compare the dimensions on each product page with your own sandwich before ordering in bulk.
9. Do you sell white greaseproof paper bags as well?
Yes. Disposable King also stocks flat white greaseproof lined bags for businesses that prefer a brighter look, and flat white foil lined bags for hot food. The white and brown bags work the same way, so the choice mostly comes down to presentation and branding.
10. Do you offer trade accounts for bakeries and takeaway shops?
Yes. Trade accounts are available for food businesses that order greaseproof bags and other disposables regularly. Contact the team on 0411 119 886 or at info@disposableking.com.au to set one up. A trade account makes repeat ordering simpler for bakeries, cafés, fish and chip shops and caterers.
