Custom Takeout Bags

Custom takeout bags are paper carry bags printed with your restaurant name and logo that hold boxed meals, drinks and sides for pickup, delivery and catering orders. We make them from strong brown or white kraft paper with a wide square bottom and side gussets, with or without handles. Restaurants, cafes, food trucks and caterers use them every day, and they are part of our range of custom food bags.

Takeout Bags With Wide Bottoms For Flat Containers

Takeout bags with a wide square bottom keep food containers flat and upright from the counter to the car. A narrow bag tips boxes on their side, and sauces, soups and dressings leak into the bag. Our side gussets open into a flat base that holds clamshells, deli containers and catering pans level during a delivery drive. Meals served in open boats or trays sit steady inside the bag when you pack them in our custom paper food trays first.

Custom Takeout Bags With Or Without Handles

Wax Paper Store prints custom takeout bags in three handle styles, and one order can mix them with the same design.

Twisted Handle To Go Bags

Twisted paper handles feel soft in the hand and suit dine-in restaurants, cafes and orders that customers carry on foot.

Flat Handle Takeout Bags

Flat paper handles glued inside the top suit busy pickup counters, because staff fill and hand them over fast.

Handleless SOS Takeout Bags

Classic self-opening square bottom bags hold the most per bag and suit delivery drivers, who carry bags in insulated cases.

Printed Takeout Bags That Market Your Restaurant

Printed takeout bags show your logo at every front door, office desk and parking lot your food reaches. We print 1-color, 2-color or full-color designs in CMYK or exact PMS colors with flexo or digital printing and water-based or soy-based food-safe inks, on the front, back and gussets. Restaurants add their logo, menu QR code, phone number, website or a “thank you” line. Our design team prepares your artwork for free, and you approve a free digital proof before we print.

To Go Bags For Delivery, Pickup And Catering

To go bags carry more of your sales than ever, because delivery apps and curbside pickup now handle a large share of restaurant orders. Pizzerias, burger joints, Chinese and Thai restaurants, sushi bars and cafes use custom to go bags for single meals and family orders. Burger and fry shops pack sides in our custom french fry bags before they go into the bag. Caterers order large bags for trays and pans, and food trucks use smaller bags for a quick handoff.

Close Every Order Before It Leaves

A closed bag shows the customer that nobody opened the order on the way. Many restaurants fold the top twice and close it with a branded sticker or a staple, and the receipt can sit on the outside of the bag. A clean, closed bag also keeps heat in and keeps dust and rain out during delivery.

Takeout, Take Out, To Go Or Takeaway: One Bag, Many Names

Takeout bags, take out bags, to go bags and takeaway bags all mean the same thing: a bag that carries a meal away from the restaurant. Most people in the United States say “takeout” or “to go”, while “takeaway” is common in the UK and Australia. Whatever your customers call it, our custom takeout bags fit every one of those orders.

Food-Safe Paper Around Hot Meals

Every custom takeout bag is made with FDA-compliant kraft paper and food-safe inks, so wrapped sandwiches and boxed meals can sit inside safely. The print sits on the outer face, and the inner face is clean paper. Cafes that bag sandwiches without a box first wrap them in our custom sandwich bags with a grease-resistant layer. Plain paper takeout bags are accepted in many curbside paper recycling programs once they are clean, though local rules vary.

Pack Hot And Cold Orders The Right Way

Takeout orders arrive in better shape when hot and cold items travel in separate bags. Hot food in a closed bag with a cold drink creates condensation, and wet paper loses strength. Put the heaviest containers flat on the bottom, stack lighter boxes on top and keep drinks in a carrier. Grocery-style orders with many items travel better in our custom grocery bags.
