Which guide should I read first?
Start with how to package cookies for sale if you are new to selling. It covers bags, boxes and display.
Where can I find bag size charts?
The cookie bag sizes guide lists common bag sizes for single cookies, stacks and minis.
Which keeps cookies fresher, cellophane or paper?
Clear film keeps air out better, while paper breathes and suits same-day sales. The comparison guide covers both in detail.
How do I stop cookies breaking in the mail?
Use a snug inner box or dividers inside a corrugated mailer, with padding so nothing shifts. The shipping guide walks through each layer.
When should I order holiday packaging?
Plan backward from the first sale date. Leave room for proof changes, then 4 to 6 business days to print and 2 to 3 to arrive.
Are the guides free to use?
Yes. Read and share them freely; they are written for anyone who sells cookies.
Do the guides point to specific products?
Yes. They link to the bag and box styles that fit each situation, so you can check sizes and options.
Are measurements in the guides given in inches?
Yes. Sizes are in inches and board thickness is in points, the same units we use in quotes.
Can a guide help me choose between a bag and a box?
Yes. The selling and sizing guides explain when a bag is enough and when a box protects the cookie better.
Can I ask a question a guide does not cover?
Yes. Our packaging reps answer sizing and material questions at info@thecookiebags.com and on WhatsApp.
