Printed takeout bags for South San Francisco restaurants.

A lunch town built around science

South San Francisco calls itself the birthplace of biotech. The city says it is home to hundreds of biotech companies, most of them in the business parks east of the freeway.

All those labs and offices mean one thing for a restaurant: a weekday lunch rush. People order for themselves, for their team, for a meeting. A lot of that food is picked up and carried back to a desk or a break room.

Think about where your bag goes next. It sits on a conference table. Coworkers ask where lunch came from. A plain bag gives them nothing. A bag with your logo gives them the answer, and the next order.

Grand Avenue is the heart of downtown

Downtown South San Francisco runs along Grand Avenue. Local news has described it as a mix of history and new life, with eateries that reflect how mixed the city is: a taqueria that started as a tortilla factory, Jamaican food, vegan Filipino plates, dumplings, coffee bars and more.

These are neighborhood places with regulars who come back every week. A printed bag helps the new faces remember you too, like the lab worker who drove over to try something different at lunch.

Group orders need a bag that holds

Office orders are big. Five lunches, sides, drinks and extra sauce, all in one trip. The bag can't tear in the elevator.

Our bag is 12″ × 7″ × 14″ with 3.5″ gussets and a square bottom, and it carries 22 lb. Stack the heavy bowls first, flat boxes on top, sauce cups in the side folds. Seal it with a food tamper-evident sticker so the person who ordered knows nobody else got into it. A full box comes with 100 stickers.

Steaming dumplings? Visit the dim sum bags page. Serving pho or noodle soup? The pho bags page has tips for hot broth.

A logo that reads across the office

Keep the design bold and short. Your name in thick letters, one simple icon, one strong color. Red, black and dark green pop on brown kraft. You choose from brown kraft and bright white.

You get 12 × 14 in on the front. We send you a proof and print nothing until you approve it. The print proof page walks you through it.

Not ready for a big order? The Discovery Box has 50 bags. Once the office regulars notice, move up to a full box of 150.
