What makes our Small Reusable Bulk Food Bag so good?
We love bulk food shopping as it is a great way to reduce waste in your life, but sometimes either remembering to or carrying lots of jars and containers can be really inconvenient.
Our beautiful vintage style Small Reusable Bulk Food Bag has been designed to provide a convenient alternative for taking jars and containers to your local bulk food store.
It is also super handy to use when you would like to top up half filled containers at home. This means you no longer need to stock up on extra jars and containers on top of your current ones to use as “top up” containers, as all our bulk food bags give you a light and compact way to top up as you need.
We love diverting existing waste from landfill which is why our bulk food bags are made from BPA free, food safe recycled plastic drink bottles.
Each one of our bulk food bag features the tare weight of the bag in both grams and ounces and they also have a clear window made of non-toxic, BPA & chlorine free PEVA. This window allows you to not only easily see what is inside your bag, but you can also write in that window the product, as well as any unique codes you may need when checking out. We recommend a coloured wax pencil or whiteboard marker only as permanent marker can be very difficult to remove. The window is especially helpful when distinguishing products such as Self Raising and Plain Flour that otherwise look identical.
The volumes of the bulk food bags vary dependent on what you are putting in them. For example a small bag of flour is going to weigh more than a small bag of corn chips, but to give a rough idea we have modelled the look of our Bulk Food Bags on the classic 1kg/2lb and 2kg/4lb flour bags with the large being able to carry as much as 5kg/11lb.

Please note: The goal for our reusable bulk bags is to be able help people easily and conveniently transport their bulk food purchases home. The bags have been designed as a lightweight top up tool to replace the need for carrying jars and canisters when doing your shopping, and when you bring them home you should empty the contents into your storage jars and containers.
Although made from recycled plastic drink bottles and technically plastic, the rPET material that makes our bags is woven in nature not solid state plastic like a single use plastic bag which is non-permeable for air and water.
Because of the woven nature of the fabric, a solid state plastic bag will definitely prevent air from reaching the bulk food products better than our bulk bags will when storing your bulk food products. Things like pasta hold well in them, but things that rely on freshness are better stored in an airtight container.
Our bulk bags are definitely at their best when used to carry home your bulk food dry goods and transfer the contents into your bulk food storage jars and containers to ensure freshness.

I keep buying more
These bags are so good for bulk purchases – I buy more in bulk now than I ever did before just because I’ve got them. Very easy to carry with you and so easy to wash if needed.

Super idea
The bags are a very generous size. They seem very robust, and I think will last well. Owners of our local refill station were very impressed
Ali N –
Love Onya products – have been using for years and keep adding as the product line expands. Really appreciate that the bag weight is recorded right on the bulk storage bags, and that you can write easily on the clear window. I will get heaps of use from these!
Bronwyn –
Bought Medium bags this week, love them – Placed price sticker on the edge, peeled off quite well, no residue & peeled off in one sweep. Will now buy a few small bags as the medium are quite a good size – roll up quite small & place in my shopping bags along with veggie produce bags to take to supermarket each week.
Jo S –
Love the bags and glad I ordered a few smalls along with a couple sets. I have learnt to put the sticker on the bottom of the bag as it left a residue when I put it on the clear window.
