Where these two actually differ

  • We flag PFAS in grease-resistant coating, Microplastics or coating particles during use, Migration of coating chemicals into fatty foods and Thermal decomposition of coating under heat on the Bagcraft Papercon and not on the IDL Packaging.
  • We flag Mold or microbial growth during storage on the IDL Packaging and not on the Bagcraft Papercon.
  • The Bagcraft Papercon is paper with grease-resistant coating where the IDL Packaging is bleached paper, uncoated, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 70 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the IDL Packaging is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the Bagcraft Papercon grade, at 42% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.

Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
