NO, you would not want to use the PLA bag if shelf life is important. the reason is PLA film, while being biodegradable and looks a lot like poly, is as one industry expert described it to me, like a screen door. It will allow the moisture in the cookies to get out, as it lets outside air in. Poly lined tin tie bags are MUCH BETTER for shelf life of cookies. How long exactly they stay in the poly lined tin tie style bags varies from one type of cookie to the other due to the differences of ingredients and storage conditions. We strongly recommend that before you make your choices for bags to hold cookies with our without windows that you TEST your cookies in our bags. Call for samples and you will need several so you can try them in a week, two weeks, three weeks or whatever time frame is needed for your product.
