Absolutely, but only if you choose the right material! For heavy-oil or saucy foods (like fried chicken, french fries, or kebabs), our experts highly recommend PE Coated Bags or Greaseproof Paper Bags. These specific layers block 100% of grease from leaking through, keeping your customers' hands clean and maintaining the bag's sturdy shape.
We are highly flexible and partner with everyone from local eateries to global F&B chains.
