Greaseproof Food Bags Ireland: Lined Kraft & Chip Bag Sizes Buying Guide

When Friday chips leave grease rings on plain kraft, Irish chippers and night counters move to greaseproof food bags. Lined kraft walls and dedicated chip bags keep oil and gravy in the wrap — not on the customer's hands or the carrier bag. Size and case pack decide whether you restock mid-week or sail through the weekend from one Ashbourne order.

This guide covers greaseproof food bags in Ireland as plain catering stock — greaseproof-lined kraft from 2lb to 4QT, plus 5 × 5″, 1lb 6 × 7″ and 2lb 7 × 9″ chip / greaseproof bags — and how PrintNPack's Greaseproof Food Bag category works with tiered case pricing and delivery from Ashbourne. For the wider plain bag cluster, see plain paper bags Ireland.

Why Irish kitchens buy plain greaseproof bags by the case

Plain greaseproof bags are warehouse stock: order by the case, no print proof, no brand MOQ. That suits Dublin chippers wrapping fish and chips at closing time and Cork takeaways that need a 5 × 5″ snack bag before a Saturday queue. Branding can sit on a carrier, napkin or printed greaseproof sheet — the food bag only has to resist grease, wrap and travel.

PrintNPack holds Greaseproof Food Bags beside Flat Kraft Food Bags, SOS and MG kraft in plain packaging. Orders ship nationwide; local buyers can collect from Ashbourne, Co. Meath. For a broader view of bulk catering lines, see our plain packaging wholesale Ireland guide. Unlined brown kraft wraps are covered separately in the flat kraft food bags Ireland guide.

Greaseproof food bag sizes at a glance

Start with how oily the portion is and how large the wrap needs to be — often 2lb or 3lb lined kraft for everyday fried food, 5 × 5″ or 1lb chip bags for high-volume sides, then 3QT–4QT for bulkier packs — and confirm the case count. Use the table below, then check live case tiers on each product page.

Lined kraft — 2lb and 3lb everyday wraps

Everyday oily wraps often start on the 2lb Greaseproof Lined Kraft Bags (7 × 9″) line — 345 bags per case — or step up to the 3lb Greaseproof Lined Kraft Bags (8.5 × 11″) at 235 per case. Same lined-kraft family, different footprint and pack count — check both before you compare weekly burn rates.

Dublin and Galway counters often keep 2lb lined kraft as standing wrap stock, then add the measured 8.5 × 11″ 3lb SKU when portion photos and pricing boards need a consistent wrap size.

3QT and 4QT lined kraft for larger portions

Larger hot-food wraps sit on the 3QT Greaseproof Lined Kraft Bags (11 × 14) at 150 per case, and the 4QT Greaseproof Lined Kraft Bags (11 × 16) at 140 per case. The 3QT line is listed as a 5 kilo case pack — useful when you order beside other QT sizes on one wholesale dispatch.

Cork chippers and festival vans often run 3QT as the shared or family wrap and keep 4QT for the tallest greaseproof packs. Pack counts fall as the bag gets larger — do not assume every QT case holds the same unit count.

Chip bags and bulk 2lb greaseproof — 1,000-pack lines

High-volume snack and chip bagging sits on the 5 × 5″ Greaseproof Chip Bags and 1lb Greaseproof Chip Bags (6 × 7)— both 1,000 per case. For a bulk 2lb greaseproof wrap without the lined kraft SKU, the 2lb Greaseproof Bags (7 × 9″) also pack 1,000 per case.

Night counters that bag chips separately from a tray or cone often keep the 5 × 5″ or 1lb line as standing stock, then use lined kraft 2lb/3lb when the whole meal goes in one wrap. Confirm the live case pack on each product page before you quote a multi-site restock.

Case packs and wholesale pricing

Case packs run from 1,000 on the chip and bulk 2lb greaseproof lines down to 140 on the 4QT lined kraft bag. Lined kraft mid sizes sit between 150 and 345 depending on the SKU. All use four-tier volume pricing — more cases lower the price per case. There is no custom-print MOQ on these plain lines.

Always check the live tier table on each product in Greaseproof Food Bags. We do not reprint one-off unit rates here because case tiering is how wholesale pricing works. A single-site chipper often starts on 1–3 cases of 2lb lined kraft or 1lb chip bags; multi-site groups consolidate lined and chip SKUs into higher tiers on one Ashbourne order.

Greaseproof bags vs flat kraft, sheets, trays and foil bags

Greaseproof food bags resist oil in a ready bag format. Flat kraft food bags suit dry bakery and lighter wraps. Custom greaseproof sheets line trays or wrap with a logo. Open kraft food trays and corrugated fish & chip boxes suit chips sold on a tray or in a box rather than in a bag.

Foil rotisserie packs are a different format again — see the foil chicken bags Ireland guide. This article stays on plain Greaseproof Food Bag SKUs only.

What to order alongside greaseproof food bags

• Flat kraft food bags for dry bakery and lighter wraps on the same dispatch
• Kraft food trays for open chipper and street-food serves
• Fish & chip boxes when the portion needs a corrugated box, not a bag
• Greaseproof sheets to line trays or add branded wrap beside plain bags
• SOS grab bags for sealed carry-out when the greaseproof bag is only the wrap

Pairing greaseproof bags, trays and carriers on one dispatch keeps Dublin and nationwide kitchens stocked before weekend peaks.
