Carry bags and lunch bags

Carry Bags and Lunch Bags for Restaurants and Takeout

Carry bags and lunch bags combine compact paper packaging with ease of use at the point of sale. They are ideal for businesses that want to quickly package small meals, snacks, or other items and hand them to customers to take away.

The product line is designed specifically for snack bars, food trucks, delicatessens, butcher shops, farm stands, cafeterias, catering companies, and market stalls. Depending on the season and intended use, plain brown designs as well as carry bags with decorative motifs are available.

Paper Bags for Snacks, Takeout, and Off-Premises Sales

In the day-to-day operations of the food service industry, packaging often needs to be quickly accessible. Paper carry-bags and lunch bags, for example, are ideal for putting together snack selections, packaged meals, and small purchases.

For snack bars and mobile food service, they can be combined with other snack packaging. This allows different foods and portion sizes to be paired with the appropriate packaging.

Carry Bags for Delicatessens, Farm Stores, and Direct Sales

Carry bags can also be used in farm stands, delicatessens, and at farmers’ markets for pre-packaged items and smaller purchases. The paper carry bags can be filled quickly and handed directly to customers.

For direct sellers, additional packaging options from our “Village & Farm Stores” section are available. There you’ll find further packaging solutions for fruits, vegetables, delicacies, and regional products.

Seasonally Printed Carry Bags for Winter and Holiday Sales

In addition to more neutral designs, the product range also includes seasonally printed carry bags. Designs for winter and Christmas promotions are ideal, for example, for Christmas markets, farm stands, delicatessens, gift promotions, and seasonal sales booths.

This allows businesses to visually adapt their packaging to seasonal sales periods without having to use an additional carry bag or gift wrapping.

Always check food contact suitability on a product-by-product basis

Whether a carry bag or lunch bag is intended for direct contact with certain foods depends on the material, manufacturing process, and the specific product. You can therefore find the specific details directly under the relevant product variant.

For unpackaged foods, particular attention should be paid to the type of food, potential moisture or fat content, and the intended duration of contact. This allows you to select the appropriate paper packaging specifically for the intended use.

Combine Carry-Bags with Other To-Go Packaging

For complete takeout offerings, carry bags can be combined with other packaging solutions. For burgers, fries, snacks, and other quick meals, you’ll find suitable products under “Snack Packaging.”

You can also find additional packaging solutions for mobile food service and events in our article on food truck packaging.

For snack bars, catering, delicatessens, and market sales

Carry bags and lunch bags can be used in various commercial settings. At snack bars, they can bundle snack orders; in catering, they can complement smaller pre-prepared portions; and in delicatessens or farm stands, they serve as compact takeout packaging.

Printed versions are also available for Christmas markets, club events, seasonal sales stands, and other events. This allows you to select packaging that matches the specific sales occasion.

If you need larger carry bags or other bag styles, you’ll find additional solutions in the Bags & Pouches section.
