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.
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.
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.
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-color 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.
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-color 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.
We print in full CMYK for photos and artwork and match exact Pantone (PMS) colors for logos, then confirm every color on your digital proof. Our color guide explains CMYK, PMS and RGB in plain terms.
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 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.
