CUT ON FOOD WASTE AND SAVE TIME ON PREPARATION WITH PREPORTIONAL BAGS

Handgards® TuffGards® Pre-Portioning Bags provide the perfect solution to serve consistent portions of food, while also helping save time and money. Our pre-portioning bags are color coded and labeled with the day of the week to help you keep track of expiration dates and what foods need to be served first. These bags help operators serve plates faster during busy times and turn tables quicker. Simply place foods into each bag, weigh them to the desired weight, and properly store them to be used for later. Our pre-portioning bags come in saddle packs that fit our saddle racks to be dispensed easily and quickly in fast-paced kitchens. We offer high-density pre-portioning bags with a variety of sizes to match any food service need.

WHY USE PRE-PORTIONING BAGS?

TuffGards® Pre-Portioning Bags are made of High Molecular, High Density (HMHD) polyethylene material, making them an ideal choice for storing foods into a freezer while protecting foods from freezer burn and waste. Our HD bags can withstand temperatures down to -50°F (-45.5°C) and up to 220°F (104.4°C) and can be boiled or microwaved. Pre-portioning bags are useful for making sure all your customers get the same amount of food, which keeps consistency in service. It’s also a safe way to store food as it’s easy to keep track of expired foods that need to be disposed of instead of served. Our pre-portioning bags also help retain flavor in foods and keeps them fresh, helping you get the most out of your dishes and controlling food costs.
