Printed Christmas bags for Bay Area kitchens, covered top to bottom in your own holiday art.

Why a San Diego bag leads a Bay Area page

We'd rather show you a real holiday print than a pretty mockup. The bag up top belongs to Vinh Hung Supermarket at 10550 Camino Ruiz in San Diego. It's the one Christmas order we can show in full, file and finished bag side by side, so it leads this page even though you're shopping from the Bay.

Look at how much they fit on it: a red bow and silver bells, pine and berries, gifts, candy canes, a tree, a poinsettia and a gingerbread house. The store name, address, phone number and a QR code sit in the middle. It's the same brown kraft we ship to every Bay Area customer, with up to 12 × 14 in of full color on the front.

Now put that on a Bay Area counter: a Chinatown bakery handing out almond cookies, or a taqueria on Mission Street packing tamales by the dozen for Christmas Eve. If you bake for a living, our page on logo bags for Bay Area bakeries goes deeper on loaves and pastries.

Five weeks of holiday crowds in downtown San Jose

Christmas in the Park opens in downtown San Jose on Friday, Nov. 27, 2026 and runs every day through Jan. 3, 2027, from noon to 10 p.m., holidays included. It fills Plaza de Cesar Chavez on Market Street, between San Fernando and San Carlos, with more than 40 animated displays and a forest of decorated trees. Admission is free, and a nonprofit runs it.

That's more than a month of families walking downtown after dark, then getting hungry. The same pull shows up all over the Bay in December: office parties in SoMa, family dinners in Fremont, catering trays headed to break rooms. Each of those orders walks out of your shop in a bag.

How to draw Christmas art that prints right on brown paper

Your screen glows. A bag doesn't. On kraft, brown paper sits under every ink and pulls each color a little warmer and softer. On the real order, the red title warmed up and the navy word SUPERMARKET came out a gentle charcoal blue.

Four rules from that bag. One, build your art on a tan background close to our kraft, never on white. Two, very dark navy or pale gold will land a step softer. Three, small type is fine: their full street address reads clearly. Four, use the whole front. Full color edge to edge is included, up to 12 × 14 in on the front, so a garland can run right off the edge.

What to order before the holiday rush

Boxes usually arrive 3 to 4 days after they ship, and shipping is free. What slows people down is the art, so send your final holiday design early, not the week your catering orders pile up.

Not sure how many you'll need? Try the Kraft Discovery Box: 50 printed bags plus 50 food tamper-evident stickers to seal each order. Busy kitchens and markets skip ahead to a box of 150 bags for $85 on Subscribe and Save, or the bundle, 300 bags for $152.

Each bag is 110 GSM kraft, 12″ wide and 7″ deep with 3.5″ gussets, 14″ tall and rated to hold 22 lb. Every city we cover is on our home page for printed bags in the Bay Area.
