Kraft Paper Bags for Restaurants & Food Service Businesses

The food service industry has been one of the fastest adopters of kraft paper bags — and for good reason. Between plastic bag bans in major cities, customer expectations around sustainability, and the practical durability of kraft paper, it's become the go-to packaging for takeout, delivery, and catering businesses.

Why Restaurants Choose Kraft Paper

For food service, kraft paper bags offer a combination of qualities that plastic simply can't match:

• Breathable material prevents condensation buildup in hot food bags
• Strong enough to carry multiple food containers without tearing
• Presents a clean, premium aesthetic for upscale takeout
• Compliant with plastic bag bans in most US cities and states
• Customizable with your restaurant's branding

Sizes That Work for Food Service

Restaurants typically need a range of sizes:

• Small bags — single-item orders, pastries, small sides
• Medium bags — standard meal orders, two to three containers
• Large bags — family orders, catering, bulk delivery

Many restaurants order all three sizes to cover their full menu range, with twisted handle bags preferred for the heavier loads.

Branded Bags That Build Your Restaurant's Identity

For delivery orders especially, the bag is the first physical touchpoint between your restaurant and a new customer. A plain bag is a missed opportunity. A bag with your logo, tagline, or brand colors is marketing that costs you nothing extra per order once your custom bags are in production.

PSA Imports offers full-color printing on brown and white kraft bags with minimum order quantities designed for growing restaurant businesses.

Volume Ordering for High-Traffic Restaurants

A busy restaurant can go through hundreds or thousands of bags per week. Managing that supply chain with a reliable wholesale supplier means never running out during your busiest periods and maintaining cost efficiency as your volume grows.

PSA Imports works directly with restaurant groups, individual locations, and food businesses of all sizes to provide consistent bag supply at competitive wholesale pricing.
