Cone bags are bags folded into a characteristic cone shape – tapering to a point at the bottom, open at the top for filling. The shape has been a classic for generations for confectionery, popcorn and sweets at the kiosk or weekly market.
The material is usually food-grade paper (glassine, kraft paper) or transparent film. Quick to fill, attractive looking, available in many sizes.
Cone bags have a characteristic cone shape, open at the top and are classically made from paper or parchment substitute — typical for confectionery, chips, chestnuts, nuts and direct sale over the counter.
Classic grease- and moisture-resistant paper with wet-strength impregnation. Suitable for hot, greasy or moist food: chips, fresh baked goods, chestnuts, candied almonds.
Natural paper in brown or white, not greaseproof. Suitable for dry confectionery: sweets, biscuits, nuts, confectionery. Breathable, ecologically advantageous.
Crystal-clear cone bag made of polypropylene for visible presentation at the point of sale. Confectionery, praline assortments, wedding favours.
Standard delivery form: unprinted natural or single-colour printed. Brand printing possible, often with a logo or brand name on the front.
All materials are certified to EU 10/2011 and the EU food-information regulation (FIC) for direct food contact. Declaration of conformity on request.

Paper cone bags are ecologically advantageous, as they are fully recoverable in the paper recycling stream and contain no multi-material composites.
Pure paper cone bags are recycled via the paper collection system (blue bin). Heavily soiled bags (e.g. with grease) belong in the residual-waste bin.
Wet-strength cone bags remain recyclable as paper despite the impregnation, provided they contain no PE coating. For heavily impregnated papers, processing takes place via the waste-paper system.
On request we supply cone bags made from FSC-certified paper — proof of sustainable forestry.
Paper cone bags already meet the EU Packaging Regulation today and are among the most sustainable packaging forms in direct sales.
