Printed takeout bags for Redwood City restaurants.

Downtown Redwood City eats outside

Redwood City likes to brag about its weather, and downtown makes good use of it. A block of Broadway in the middle of downtown turned into an outdoor dining room during the pandemic, and the city decided to keep it that way. On a warm evening the tables run down the middle of the street, a short walk from the old courthouse on Courthouse Square.

Around that core you'll find ramen, tacos, Thai, burgers, pizza and coffee within a short walk, plus the office crowd from the tech and biotech buildings nearby and the Caltrain station right there for the ride home.

For how our bags work from start to finish, see the main guide to logo printed takeout bags in the Bay Area.

Summer Fridays bring the line to you

Every summer, Courthouse Square hosts free Friday night concerts, and Thursday movies on a big screen. People show up early to grab a spot and grab dinner. When the music stops, plenty of them want something to carry home.

That's a rush you can plan for. Stock up before Memorial Day, keep a stack of bags folded and ready by the register, and seal each order with one of the food tamper-evident stickers that come with every box, 100 in a full box.

A concert crowd walks right past your door. The bag is how they remember which door it was.

Middlefield Road, the Seaport and the lunch crowd

Redwood City's food isn't all downtown. Middlefield Road is lined with taquerias and Mexican bakeries, busy from breakfast to late. Out toward the Seaport and Bayshore, office parks and warehouses keep lunch trucks and catering kitchens busy every weekday.

Those orders travel. A burrito order going back to a desk, a catering tray going up an elevator, a family dinner heading down El Camino. Our bag is 12″ × 7″ × 14″ with 3.5″ gussets and a flat square bottom, so it stands on a car floor or a conference table without tipping.

Run a bakery or panadería on Middlefield? Our bakery bag page is written for you. Serving down the road too? See the Palo Alto page and the San Mateo page.

What reads best on a Redwood City bag

Downtown customers walk. Picture your bag being carried across Courthouse Square: can someone at the next table read the name? Use the biggest, boldest version of your logo. You get up to 12 × 14 in on the front.

Our bags come in brown kraft and bright white. Dark colors like black, red, navy and forest green pop on brown kraft. Pastels and light colors read better on white. You see your logo on the bag before you pay, and setup is $0 where many printers charge $150+. Our print proof page walks through the steps.

Not sure how many you need? Start with the Discovery Box of 50 bags, then move to a full box of 150 once summer gets busy.
