Logo printed kraft bags for Bay Area delivery kitchens.

The bag is your dining room

A sit down restaurant gets lots of chances to make an impression: the sign, the smell at the door, the music, the server. A delivery kitchen gets one. It's the moment a customer opens the door and picks up the bag.

Across the Bay, a lot of food now comes from kitchens nobody ever visits. Shared kitchen spaces tucked into SoMa warehouses. Commissary kitchens in West Oakland and near the Oakland airport. Restaurants in San Jose and Fremont that run a second, delivery only menu out of the back. The customer only knows you as a photo in an app and, a little later, a bag.

If that bag is plain brown paper, you just paid for a customer and handed your name away. Print it, and the bag sits on their kitchen counter all evening saying who cooked. That's the whole idea behind logo printed takeout bags in the Bay Area.

Seal it so they know nobody peeked

The first thing a delivery customer checks is not the fries. It's whether the bag looks opened. A clean seal answers that before they even ask.

Fold the top of the bag over once and press one of our food tamper-evident stickers across the fold. Each sticker is 2″ × 6″, split into two 3″ halves with different designs, with a matte finish and permanent adhesive. If someone pulls it loose on the way, it shows. The designs change with new designs every month, so regulars notice something new.

You don't pay extra for them. Every full box comes with 100 stickers, and the Discovery Box comes with 50.

Your name on the front, a seal across the top. That's the whole trust story, told before the customer reads a single word.

Print the name people type into the app

Here's the mistake we see most: a kitchen prints its legal company name or the name of the building, while the app shows a totally different brand. The customer loves the wings, looks at the bag to reorder, and can't find you.

Print the exact name your customers see on the app, as big as it fits. You get up to 12 × 14 in on the front. Bold letters, one or two colors, and nothing small that disappears on kraft paper.

Run more than one menu out of one kitchen? Treat each brand as its own shop. Start each one with a Discovery Box of 50 bags, see which brand actually sells, and move only that one to a full box of 150 bags. No setup charge for any of them: logo setup is $0 every time.

Built for the handoff and the long ride

A delivery bag lives a rough life. It waits on a pickup shelf, gets grabbed by a stranger, swings onto a scooter or a back seat, crosses a bridge, and climbs the stairs of a Victorian walk up. It needs to stay standing and stay shut.

Our bag is 12″ × 7″ × 14″ with a flat square bottom that opens 7″ deep, so containers sit level instead of sliding into a corner. It carries 22 lb by the handles, made from 110 GSM kraft paper. Put soups and heavy bowls flat on the bottom, boxes above, sauce cups in the side gussets and anything crispy on top. The game above shows why that order wins.
