Features and types
Clear bags: formats for every need
Piennepi PNP Plast Italy offers clear bags in multiple sizes, all sold in packs of 100 pieces. The available formats cover a wide range:
- Bag 8x15 cm – the most compact format, suitable for small sweets, candies or small cards.
- Bag 10x20 cm – medium size, versatile for single favour sweets or small favour bags.
- Bag with square base 6x20 cm – thanks to the structured base, it stands up on its own: ideal for displaying sweets or small gadgets on ceremony tables.
- Bag with square base 9x28 cm – taller format, suitable for vertical arrangements with stacked sweets or long decorations.
- Bag with plain sheets 100x130 cm (30 My) – pack of 25 pieces, for wrapping medium-sized items such as table centerpieces, vases or gift frames.
The transparency of the material allows you to show the contents clearly, without hiding the care taken in choosing the sweets or the favour.
Shredded paper for packaging: wood and transparent
Piennepi PNP Plast Italy shredded paper is available in two material variants and two weight formats:
- Beige wood shredded paper (1 kg and 4.5 kg) – natural tone, matches baskets and boxes in rustic or country style. Very popular for Christmas packaging and gourmet baskets.
- Transparent shredded paper (1 kg and 4.5 kg) – visually neutral, allows the contents to stand out without adding colour. Suitable for wedding favours or packaging in minimal style.
The 4.5 kg pack is the one we have included in the catalogue for those setting up large quantities: ceremonies, trade fairs or repeated Christmas displays.
How to choose the right material
For favours and ceremonies
If you are preparing favours for a wedding, a communion or a christening, the bags with square base are the most practical choice: they rest on the table on their own without support and enhance Maxtris sweets inside without needing ribbons. The 6x20 cm format is suitable for single sweets or small quantities; the 9x28 cm lends itself to richer arrangements.
To add a natural touch to favour baskets, the beige wood shredded paper 1 kg is sufficient to set up 30-40 medium-sized packages.
For Christmas packaging and gift baskets
The 4.5 kg shredded paper (wood or transparent) is designed for those preparing Christmas baskets in quantity. Combined with the plain sheet bag 100x130 cm, it allows you to wrap generously sized items such as lamps, saucepans or table sets. At L'Arcolaio we have selected these formats precisely because they adapt to Christmas displays that we receive most frequently between October and December.
For those looking for solutions suited to the table, the RCR glasses & glassware pack well in large bags 100x130 cm, both as a gift and as a favour. Similarly, a HPL table top 70x70 forest green geo green requires the same care in packaging when shipped as a gift.
Pairings with other brands in the catalogue
If you are setting up a complete table for a ceremony, consider integrating the Piennepi bags with the glasses and accessories from Gold Plast: the clear bags allow you to package, for example, a wine cocktail glass 470 cc white by Gold Plast as a place card or gift for guests. To expand your selection of packaging and tableware materials, you can also explore Star Import Italy, another brand in the catalogue similar in ceremony use.
FAQ
What is the difference between a flat bag and a bag with a square base?
The flat bag is a simple clear bag with no structure: it lies on the table or can be hung up. The bag with a square base has a shaped bottom that allows it to stand upright on its own. It is more practical for ceremony setups where packages are placed on tables without supports.
How many bags are there in each pack?
The clear bags Piennepi PNP Plast Italy are sold in packs of 100 pieces (formats up to 10x20 cm and 9x28 cm). Plain sheet bags 100x130 cm are instead in a pack of 25 pieces.
Is 1 kg of shredded paper enough for a ceremony?
It depends on the size of the packages. For small or medium favours (10x10 cm boxes), 1 kg of shredded paper is sufficient for 30-40 pieces. For larger setups or voluminous Christmas baskets, the 4.5 kg pack is more suitable and economically advantageous.
Is transparent shredded paper noticeable in the package?
It is deliberately neutral: it does not add colour nor distract from the contents. It is often used in wedding or christening packages where the coordinated colour is already given by the ribbon or the external fabric of the box.
Are these materials suitable for single use or only for quantities?
The bags of 100 pieces are especially suitable for those preparing multiple packages (ceremonies, corporate gifts, seasonal displays). However, the affordable price range makes them convenient even for domestic use, for example for wrapping Christmas or Easter gifts for family and friends.
