I know it's an ignorant question, but in America we don't use this term.
I heard it in reference to "shrinking crisp packets in the oven" ( http://www.al4ie.com/?p=72 and some Y!A questions).
Do you mean the metallic bags that potato chips come in? The foil wrapper that encloses stacks of crackers inside the box, such as the foil that encases Ritz crackers and Pop Tarts? Do you mean glossy cardboard cereal boxes?

its the bag that potato chips come in.
We call chips crisps, & we call fries chips. ("We" being UK people)
A doritoes bag is like a crisp packet for example.
That's one thing I found when I went to the US is that I missed my UK crisps! USA ones are just not the same!

As far as I know a "crisp packet" would be the bag that potato chips come in.

A crisp packet is the metallic bag that contains what you refer to as "potato chips".
