Cello Bags - Polypropylene Style Bags

Our Cello bags offer a more economic alternative to often confused cellophane bags. We offer flat and gusseted cello bags that are perfect for candies, chocolates, potpourri, candles, spices and baked goods. They also double as great party goody bags or Christmas gift bags. A Cellophane Heat Sealer can be used to seal cello gift bags or make cello food packaging bags for cookies, baked goods, nuts, candy, and other non-liquid food product. Wholesale cello bags are FDA approved and USDA approved for food use. Also all of our Cello Bags meet FDA specifications and are BPA free.

Cello Bag Features

  • Cello bags are made of polypropylene which is an oil based product.
  • Products packaged in cellophane bags have a shorter shelf life because the bags have a more permeable barrier to air and water than cello bags do.
  • Cello-gusseted and flat bags are less expensive, allowing you to get a very clear crinkle bag at a savings that we pass on to our customers.
  • We do offer custom-printed cello bags. Check with your sales rep what layout and proofs are available for some styles of custom cello bags.

Polypropylene Cello Style Bags

Cellophane and cello-style bags are not the same

“Cello bag” is often used as a catch-all term, but true cellophane and the clear polypropylene bags sold on this page are different materials. Knowing the difference helps you choose packaging that fits your product, display needs, and sealing process.

For clear packaging for cookies, candy, gifts, craft supplies, and other dry items, compare the material characteristics below.

Choose the material that fits the job

True cellophane and polypropylene cello-style bags can look similar, but they perform differently.

True cellophane

  • Made from cellulose derived from wood pulp or cotton fibers
  • Biodegradable and compostable
  • Allows more air exchange than polypropylene
  • Often used when a cellulose-based film is specifically required

Cello-style polypropylene bags

  • Made from clear polypropylene for a crisp, transparent presentation
  • Used for dry foods, gifts, crafts, and retail items
  • Offers a stronger barrier to air and water than cellophane
  • Can be heat sealed for a neat finished package
