Why Brands Choose Brand My Bags for Cheese Packaging
Six things a cheese brand can check before it spends a dollar with us.
<0.1 cc
Air is what greys a shredCut cheese has a lot of surface, and every bit of it oxidises and dries the moment air reaches it — that's the grey, hard edge on a bag of shreds. Film under 0.1 cc/100in²/day keeps the air out for the shelf life, not the first week.
<0.02 g
Moisture moves both waysA soft cheese sweats in a bag that holds too much humidity; a hard cheese dries in one that lets it out. Film under 0.02 g/100in²/day holds the interior where you packed it, so the texture on the shelf matches the texture at the cutting table.
Cold chain
Built for the refrigerated caseLaminated metallized film stays flexible and seals tight in the cold, and a plow-bottom pouch stands full-faced in a dairy case where a lay-flat slumps. Your print is what the shopper sees through the glass.
Oak Park, Michigan
We own the pressesYour bags are printed on our own equipment in Oak Park, Michigan. Most "manufacturers" in this category are brokers reselling an overseas run — there is nobody between your file and our press.
500 bags
500 bags, not 5,000Most converters will not quote a cheese maker under 5,000 units. Quick Order starts at 500, with no plate fee and no setup fee, so a new SKU costs a few hundred dollars to test instead of a few thousand.
7–10 days
Printed and shipped freeProduction runs 7–10 business days from the day you approve the proof, and shipping anywhere in the US is free — quoted in the price you saw, not added at checkout.

Cheese packaging questions
What size bag do I need for 8 oz of shredded cheese?
A 5" × 8" × 2.5" stand-up pouch — the standard retail shred bag, priced on this page.
The 4″×6″×2″ suits a 4 oz snack or cube pack and the 6″×9″×3″ a 1 lb bag of curds or bulk shred.
Will the bag keep cheese from going mouldy or greying?
It keeps air and moisture out — oxygen under 0.1 cc/100in²/day and moisture under 0.02 g/100in²/day — which are the two things that grey a shred and grow surface mould. Refrigeration still does the rest.
Can I use these bags for modified-atmosphere packaging?
The film is a gas barrier, so it holds whatever atmosphere you seal into it — but the flushing and sealing is your packing line's job, not something the bag does on its own.
Is the film safe for dairy contact?
Yes — food-contact-cleared film, made in an SQF-certified facility.
What is the minimum order for custom cheese bags?
500 bags on every size — most converters will not quote a cheese maker under 5,000 per run.
Every size, from the smallest flat pouch to the 8" × 12" × 4", starts at 500 bags — a tenth of the run most converters ask for, which is what makes testing a new SKU possible without committing to a run you have never sold a unit of.
How long does custom cheese bags take?
About 7–10 business days from the day you approve your proof, because every bag is printed in-house in Oak Park, Michigan.
