Tear-Off Bags on a Roll
Perforated tear-off (PTO) bags on a continuous roll, dispensed one at a time at the counter or packing station.
Bags on a Roll, Ready to Tear
Perforated tear-off bags are pre-made bags joined on a continuous roll, with a perforation between each bag. Staff or shoppers pull one bag at a time from a dispenser or roll holder, with no tools and no loose bags to manage.
They are used at bakery counters, produce departments, bulk food stations and in-store packing areas. We carry clear bags on a roll in stock, including side-gusset sizes, and produce custom sizes and printed rolls.

| PTO bags | A finished bag, sealed at the bottom and open at the top | Bakery counters, produce, bulk foods |
| SS PTO | A flat single sheet | Interleaving, wrapping, covering trays or bins |
| SOE PTO | A sheet folded and open on one edge | Wrapping and covering products from the side |
