Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Yorkshire Deli" in Harrogate needed to upgrade their baking supplies. Their existing piping bags were splitting when used with dense fillings for their signature scones and cakes, causing costly waste and frustrating delays during the morning rush.
"These Matfer Bourgeat piping bags are on another level. We haven't had a single one split since we switched. They're tough enough for our densest clotted cream mix and the dispenser box has made the prep station so much more organised. A small change that made a big difference."
Robert Davies – Head Baker
The deli completely eliminated product loss from burst bags, leading to a smoother and faster morning bake-off, increasing their pastry output by 15% during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Open the dispenser box along the perforated edge for easy, one-at-a-time access.
- Pull a single bag from the box, ensuring you don't touch the others to maintain hygiene.
- If using a nozzle, drop it into the bag and push it firmly into the tip.
- Snip the end of the bag with sharp scissors, ensuring the opening is just large enough for the nozzle to sit securely without falling through.
Keeping It Going
- Avoid overfilling the bag – filling it two-thirds full gives you better control and prevents spillage from the top.
- Store the dispenser box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or sharp objects.
- These are single-use bags; dispose of them responsibly after use to ensure maximum food safety and hygiene.
- When twisting the top to apply pressure, ensure a firm grip to prevent the filling from squeezing out of the wrong end.

Explore more from Matfer BourgeatWhat Does '75 Th.u' Thickness Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?
You often see technical numbers like '75 Th.u' and it's easy to gloss over them, but this one is key to why these bags are so reliable. 'Th.u' simply refers to 'Thou', a unit of measurement for thickness, which is also measured in microns. At 75 microns thick, these bags are significantly more robust than the standard, flimsy plastic bags you might find elsewhere. Think of it like the difference between a cheap carrier bag that rips as soon as you put a carton of milk in it, and a sturdy bag-for-life. This extra thickness is your insurance against the bag splitting when you're applying pressure, saving you the mess, wasted ingredients, and time of having to start over.
Who Should Buy This?
- Patisseries & Bakeries: For flawless, hygienic piping of icing, cream, and fillings for cakes and pastries every single day.
- Hotel & Restaurant Kitchens: Perfect for plating decorative sauces, purées, or duchess potatoes with precision and speed during busy service.
