When people are picking up takeout, what do they look at first? They look at and touch the package before they eat. Packaging, in the fast-paced food service industry, is a reflection of your brand's quality, environmental values, and professionalism.
Commercial high-quality custom paper bags are no longer a luxury to be considered for high-end restaurants, but a crucial business decision. Whether it’s a local food truck or a popular national brand, the proper bag guarantees the meal will arrive hot, intact, and presented in a way that makes it a memorable meal.
The trend toward more expensive Kraft paper bags.
For many years, the standard for takeout was plastic bags. Today, consumer demand and stringent local laws throughout the USA have compelled restaurants to become more sustainable, durable, and aesthetically pleasing.
This change has established kraft paper bags as the benchmark for today’s eatery. The carriers are constructed from high-strength wood pulp and have excellent tear resistance and structure. Breathable kraft material will not trap steam and cause the crispy fries to turn soggy, while maintaining the shape of the food and helping to make sure that your signature dishes are served in culinary perfection.
Determining the optimal balance of the packaging system
There are different kinds of restaurant deliveries, and the type of packaging you need should be based on the type of food you’re delivering.
Classic: The unbleached, brown paper bag is a perennial hit! It’s extremely durable, cost-effective, and imparts to your restaurant an organic, eco-friendly look that’s much loved by today’s diners.
Oily or moist foods can be easily marred by the oily exterior, which is why it is best to use special wax paper bags inside your main container for warm pastries, soft cookies, or greasy artisanal sliders so that grease can’t penetrate the exterior wax paper and get dirty.
Wrapping Paper Bag Designs: For any takeout foods such as flatbreads, paninis, or wraps, a neat wrapping paper bag is a protective sleeve and a clean way for consumers to hold the food.
Demonstrating the power of custom branding in the Guest Experience.
Plain packaging does a job, but it fails to provide a huge marketing opportunity. Each of the out-of-the-kitchen takeout orders is a moving billboard in neighborhoods, offices, parks, etc.
Personalized paper bags with your restaurant’s logo, social media links, and special colors give your brand a market presence that’s instantly elevated. Customized packaging can help establish trust and make your business more noticeable in a crowded digital delivery landscape, from a rustic design to an elegant approach, like fancy paper gift bags for fancy catering events.
