Chinese Food Bag

Chinese food bags are strong, food-safe carry bags built to move hot, greasy takeout orders while carrying your restaurant brand to the door. A leaking, flimsy bag undoes a great meal before the customer opens the lid. At Apexio Packaging, we make custom Chinese food bags in the USA from food-grade kraft with reinforced handles and a flat base that keeps containers upright. With zero MOQ, free design, a free 3D mockup and free US shipping, you can order one branded test bag or a full wholesale run and get the same leak-resistant, load-bearing build.

What Are Chinese Food Bags?

Chinese food bags are food-grade paper carry bags, usually kraft, with handles and a flat bottom sized for takeout containers. Built for hot, oily and heavy orders, they use grease-resistant paper, a reinforced base and twisted or flat handles that hold the weight of stacked containers and sauces. A flat bottom keeps cartons level so nothing tips, and the printed panels carry your logo, menu or QR code. The result protects the food, speeds up handoff and turns every delivery into brand exposure.

Which Food Businesses Use Chinese Food Bags

Chinese food bags suit any kitchen that sends hot meals out the door, from dine-in restaurants to delivery-only kitchens. Chinese restaurants, takeout counters and fast-food outlets use them daily, while caterers, street-food vendors and cloud kitchens rely on the reinforced base for heavy multi-container orders. Delivery and meal-prep brands add printed handles for shelf presence in the courier bag. Many pair them with our custom food packaging bags for a matched takeaway range.

Chinese Food Bag Sizes and Capacity

Bags are cut to any size, and the chart shows the most requested dimensions with the loads they carry.

Bag size (W x G x H)	Fits / capacity	Common use
5 x 3 x 9 in	Single meal, ~1-2 lb	Small takeout order
8 x 4.75 x 10.5 in	2-3 containers, ~4-6 lb	Standard family order
10 x 6.75 x 13 in	Multiple cartons, ~8 lb	Large or catering order
Custom	Any container set	Bespoke menu sizing

These are common starting points, not limits. We size the bag around your containers, widen the gusset for bulky orders, and reinforce the base for weight, so cartons sit flat and the handles never tear.

Materials for Chinese Food Bags

Chinese food bags use food-grade paper, chosen for grease resistance, strength and an eco or premium look.

Material	Typical weight	Best for
Kraft paper (brown)	90-120 gsm	Eco, natural takeout look
White paper / SBS	100-140 gsm	Bright, sharp full-colour print
Grease-resistant coated paper	100-140 gsm	Oily and saucy dishes
Recycled kraft	90-120 gsm	Sustainability-first brands

Brown kraft gives the natural takeout look and handles grease well, white paper prints the sharpest for bold branding, and grease-resistant coated paper protects against oily, saucy dishes. All stocks are food-grade, and FSC-certified and recycled options are available.

Printing Methods: Flexo, Offset and Digital

We print Chinese food bags by three methods, chosen by run size, artwork and deadline.

Printing method	Best for	Main strength
Flexographic	High-volume kraft runs	Fast, cost-effective at scale
Offset / litho-lam	Detailed retail-grade art	Sharpest full-colour detail
Digital	Short runs and samples	No plates, quick and affordable

Flexo prints large kraft runs at the lowest cost, offset gives the crispest detail for photo-led menus, and digital keeps a single sample or seasonal batch fast. Tell us the quantity and artwork and we recommend the most cost-effective route free.

Colour Options: CMYK, PMS and RGB

Chinese food bags print in CMYK and match exact Pantone (PMS) brand colours, while RGB stays for on-screen design.

Colour system	Use it for	Note
CMYK	Full-colour art, gradients, photos	Standard four-colour print
PMS (Pantone)	Exact logo and brand colours	Identical shade on every reprint
RGB	On-screen design and previews	Convert to CMYK before printing

CMYK reproduces full-colour menus and photography, while Pantone (PMS) matching locks your signature brand colour so every reorder stays consistent. RGB is screen-only, so we convert and confirm on your proof. Our CMYK, PMS and RGB colour guide explains it in plain terms.

Finishes and Coatings

Finishes protect the print and set the feel, from a clean uncoated kraft to a durable coated surface.

Finish	Effect	Best for
Uncoated kraft	Natural, recyclable look	Eco takeout branding
Aqueous coating	Light protective seal	Everyday food bags
Matte / gloss lamination	Durable, wipeable surface	Premium restaurant bags
Spot UV	Glossy logo accent	Highlighting the brand

Most food bags stay uncoated or aqueous-coated for a clean, recyclable finish, while a laminated or spot-UV logo lifts premium restaurant branding. We keep any food-contact surface food-safe.

Handles, Closures and Add-Ons

Handles and add-ons decide how the bag carries heavy orders and keeps hot food secure.

Option	What it does	Best for
Twisted paper handle	Comfortable, glued-in carry	Standard takeout bags
Flat paper handle	Strong, low-cost carry	High-volume orders
Reinforced flat bottom	Keeps containers upright	Multi-carton orders
Grease-resistant liner	Guards against oil soak-through	Oily and saucy dishes
Ventilation holes	Lets steam escape	Hot fried food

Twisted and flat handles carry the weight, a reinforced base keeps cartons level, and a grease liner or vent holes handle oily, steaming dishes. We match handle strength to the rated load so nothing tears in transit. Ready to brand your takeout?

Food-Safe Chinese Food Bags

Every Chinese food bag uses food-grade paper and coatings so hot, greasy meals travel safely. We build to food-contact standards and follow FDA food-contact guidance, so the paper, inks and coatings are safe against hot and oily food. For restaurants building a full set, our custom food boxes match the bags for a consistent takeaway experience from carton to carry bag.
