Reducing food waste is a journey that starts with our weekly shopping and continues into our kitchens. We aim to rethink our cooking routines for the future: offering reliable and more sustainable alternatives that assist with the best quality and practicality, making our daily lives easier. The innovative Toppits® Paper Freezer Bags, made from FSC®-certified paper, are the perfect solution that is not only environmentally friendly but also suitable for everyday use: They allow you to freeze various foods and favorite dishes compactly, keeping them fresh for longer – all without plastic.

Freeze, Thaw, and Protect the Environment

For our Toppits® Paper Freezer Bags, we have developed a special paper that is not only tear-resistant but also resistant to fats and moisture. Securely and airtight sealed, the plastic-free bags reliably protect against freezer burn. Fresh ingredients such as fruits and vegetables, pre-cooked dishes, or leftover baked goods stay fresh and preserved in your freezer.

Whether for large or small portions – Toppits® Paper Freezer Bags perfectly adapt to your needs. Different sizes and capacities of 1 liter, 3 liters, or 6 liters provide ample space for various foods or prepared dishes.

Discover the Variety of Toppits® Paper Freezer Bags

Whether you love culinary creativity, enjoy stocking up on supermarket deals, or are a meal prep master prepared for busier days, Toppits® Paper Freezer Bags are the clever choice for a sustainable kitchen routine. They are ideal for preparing ingredients, storing leftovers, or freezing seasonal foods.

The Little Hero – 1 Liter Paper Freezer Bag

The small Toppits® Paper Freezer Bags are designed for daily needs. They are perfect for freezing individual portions or smaller food leftovers. Have some fresh fruit left? Freeze it in a 1-liter paper freezer bag and keep it safe in the freezer. When you crave something sweet, take the fruit from the freezer and try this delicious recipe idea: Frozen Peach Shavings with Greek Yogurt

The All-Rounder – 3 Liter Paper Freezer Bag

The medium-sized 3-liter Toppits® Paper Freezer Bags are just the right size for those who like to freeze in bulk. They are perfect for keeping baked delights, pre-cooked vegetables, and larger portions of leftover food fresh. The 3-liter bags are the ideal all-rounders, providing enough space to always have a delicious dish ready for multiple people. For example, try a spicy Ratatouille – pre-cooked and thawed, it's the perfect dinner after work or on a cozy Sunday evening. Follow this link for the recipe: Ratatouille with Eggplant and Zucchini. 

The Big Brother – 6 Liter Paper Freezer Bag

The large 6-liter Toppits® Paper Freezer Bags are not only spacious, but they're also super practical – especially when it comes to freezing bulky foods like pastries, bread loaves, or generous portions. The paper bags are flexible and easily shaped. This way, muffins, a round Bundt cake, or even a whole banana bread can be frozen without a hassle. Simply place the baked goods in the bag and gently press the paper to conform to the shape of the food. This is not only space-saving but also leaves particularly little air in the bag – for even more freshness and durability and less freezer burn! We have a clever idea for serving frozen banana bread as if it were fresh from the oven – check out the recipe for toasted banana bread here! 

Our Dream Team: Toppits® Paper Freezer Bags & Foodsaver App

Are you familiar with the Toppits® Foodsaver App? It helps you organize your freezer and reduce food waste. Keep track of what's in your freezer at all times: whether it's fruit, Ratatouille, or banana bread – the app reminds you when you froze your food and, most importantly, when you should consume it – making freezing a breeze and your cooking routine even more sustainable.

Our paper freezer bags, in combination with the Toppits® Foodsaver App, are an unbeatable team: Since the bags are made of paper, they can be easily labeled with a pencil. Simply generate a Foodsaver App freezing code and note it on the paper freezer bags. First, create an entry in the app and save all the important information about the contents of the freezer bag (dish, quantity, and freezing date) with just a few clicks. Then, you can generate a numerical code that you can note on the freezer bag. This way, you always and everywhere keep track of the contents of the bag and the remaining shelf life, knowing which foods you have frozen and when they should be consumed.

Frequetly Asked Questions

Toppits® Paper Freezer Bags: How to Properly Freeze and Thaw Your Food!

Was the delicious pizza too big? Can't finish the whole loaf of bread in time? Is there a small leftover from a shared meal? No problem: freeze it without plastic in one of our paper freezer bags.

First, choose a bag in the right size. You have the option between 1L, 3L, or 6L capacity. Once you've selected the correct format, we recommend labeling the paper freezer bag before filling it. Thanks to the paper, you can easily note the contents and date – or a code generated with the Foodsaver App – on the bag with a pencil.

Now it's time to fill: Open the paper freezer bag and stand it up – the flat base makes this easy. Fill the bag with your food or dishes. Press the air out of the tear-resistant paper bag and seal it, for example, with one of our Power Clips. Then, you should immediately freeze the food in your Toppits® paper freezer bag.

Tip: Let hot and warm dishes cool down a bit before transferring them into the FSC® certified paper freezer bag. Also, note: Despite its grease and water-repellent properties, the bag is not suitable for liquid foods like sauces and soups.

To thaw, let the food in the paper freezer bag thaw for a short time. We recommend about 15 minutes before transferring it for complete thawing.

What Material Is Used for the Paper Freezer Bags?

Toppits® Paper Freezer Bags are free from conventional plastic! They are made from FSC® certified paper and are silicone-coating free. By selecting suitable raw materials and a special manufacturing process, the paper bags become the ideal helper for freezing food and dishes without plastic. Furthermore, Toppits® paper freezer bags are not only tear-resistant but also resistant to fats and moisture.

How Can the Paper Bags for Freezing Be Disposed Of?

Our Toppits® Paper Freezer Bags are compostable, suitable for home composting according to NF T51-800, and industrial composting according to DIN EN 13432. We recommend using the soiled product after use as a bag for disposing of food waste in organic waste – this makes the paper freezer bags even more sustainable. Alternatively, they can be disposed of directly in the home compost or organic waste. If the FSC® certified paper freezer bag is not soiled after use, it can be disposed of in paper recycling. When in doubt, you should follow the guidelines of your local waste disposal service.

In Which Sizes Are Toppits® Paper Freezer Bags Available?

Toppits® offers you the freezer bag made from FSC® certified paper for every portion size. Discover the plastic-free freezer bags with capacities of 1L, 3L, or 6L. Whether it's a 1L bag for fruits and vegetables, a 3L bag for baked goods and small meal portions, or a 6L bag for loaves of bread and large portions, the paper bags can be flexibly shaped: Put the food in the bag and adapt the paper by gently pressing it to the shape of the food. This way, you freeze food and entire dishes not only easily but also space-saving.

Pack Sizes

1L - 20 Bags - 14 x 23 cm 

3L - 15 Bags - 20 x 32 cm

6L - 10 Bags - 23 x 42 cm

Are the Plastic-Free Freezer Bags Suitable for Keeping Food Fresh?

Yes. In addition to freezing without plastic, you can also use Toppits® Paper Freezer Bags to keep food fresh. However, since this product made from FSC® certified paper is specifically designed for freezing, we recommend our Sandwich Bags or Breakfast Bags to keep items like pastries fresh.
