Printed kraft takeout bags for Santa Clara restaurants.

El Camino, tech lunches and game days

El Camino Real through Santa Clara is one of the best Korean food strips in the Bay, with tofu houses, barbecue and fried chicken spots one after another. Mix in Indian restaurants and grocery counters, Vietnamese sandwiches, and Mexican places near the old downtown on Franklin Street. Up north, office parks full of tech workers order lunch every weekday, and Levi's Stadium game days fill every lot nearby.

That's a city where takeout goes to desks, to dorms at Santa Clara University, and to tailgates. A lot of it gets carried past coworkers and fans.

A foam rule that even covers trucks

Santa Clara's foam ordinance stopped food vendors from serving prepared food in foam. It started for national chains on September 1, 2014 and for everyone else on January 1, 2015. It covers restaurants, coffee shops, bars, caterers, kiosks, grocery delis and mobile and street food vendors too.

So the food truck parked outside an office campus follows the same rule as the sit down place on El Camino. Paper and fiber are the norm, and a kraft paper bag fits right in.

Print for the office lunch run

Office orders are the quiet winner here. One person picks up lunch for the team, sets the bag on a conference table, and ten people see your name. A clean logo plus a short web address or QR code makes the next group order easy.

We print 12 × 14 in on the front. For Korean barbecue and fried chicken, a bold red or black on brown kraft feels right, like the Galbi Gang sample design above. Our San Jose page covers the city next door.

Catering for teams and tailgates

Team lunches and game day orders are big. Trays of rice, chicken and sides get heavy fast. The bag is 12″ × 7″ × 14″ and holds up to 22 lb, so one bag can carry a lot. For heavy catering months, the two box bundle on Subscribe & Save brings each bag to 50.7¢.
