Custom Printed Kraft Paper Bags for Takeaway and Retail

Custom printed kraft paper bags put your logo on every order that leaves your counter. Disposable King supplies brown kraft paper bags to cafés, restaurants, bakeries, delis and takeaway shops. We ship from our warehouse in East Brunswick, Melbourne, to businesses across Melbourne (up to 65 km from the CBD). The range includes twisted handle carry bags sized for takeaway and delivery orders, a die-cut handle bag for lighter items, and SOS deli bags for counter service.

A plain brown bag carries the food. A branded bag also tells everyone who sees it where the food came from. That matters when your orders travel through a delivery app, go out as a catering drop-off, or get carried down the street by a customer. Personalised kraft bags also suit businesses moving away from plastic carry bags. Kraft is a paper product, and clean kraft bags can usually go into kerbside paper recycling.

What Are Custom Printed Kraft Paper Bags?

Custom printed kraft paper bags are brown paper carry bags printed with a business’s logo, name or artwork. Kraft paper is made from wood pulp using the kraft pulping process. The process keeps the fibres long, which gives the paper its strength and natural brown colour.

Kraft paper is unbleached, so printing on it looks different from printing on white paper. Dark inks such as black, navy or deep green give the sharpest contrast on brown kraft. Pale or bright colours usually print darker and softer than they would on a white bag. A simple one- or two-colour logo is often the clearest and most cost-effective choice for kraft paper bags with a logo.

Kraft Paper Bags in Our Range

Twisted Handle Kraft Paper Bags

Twisted handle bags are the standard choice for takeaway and delivery orders. The 3 Square Brown Kraft Twisted Handle Paper Bag measures 305 × 310 mm with a 180 mm gusset. It’s made from 100gsm brown kraft and packed 250 to a carton. The wide gusset lets flat-bottomed takeaway containers sit level. The 4 Square (Jumbo) bag gives extra room for family meals and larger multi-item orders. Both sizes are named on our site for their fit with delivery-app orders.

Die-Cut Handle Kraft Paper Bag

On the die-cut handle bag, the handle is punched straight into the top of the bag instead of added as a separate cord. This gives a clean, flat profile that suits bakery items, retail purchases and lighter takeaway orders.

SOS Brown Deli Paper Bags

The SOS12, SOS16 and SOS20 are self-opening square (SOS) bags with flat bases and no handles. They stand upright on the counter while you fill them, which is why delis, bakeries and grocers use them. The full SOS range has its own SOS deli paper bags page.

How Does Ordering Personalised Kraft Bags Work?

Ordering personalised kraft bags starts with an enquiry. Tell our team which bag you want, roughly how many you need, and what you’d like printed. Minimum order quantity, number of print colours, pricing and production time all depend on the bag and the print run. The team confirms these details for your order when you enquire.

To get an accurate answer quickly, have these ready:

  • The bag style and size, for example 3 Square twisted handle.
  • An estimated quantity, and how often you expect to reorder.
  • Your logo as a high-resolution or vector file (AI, EPS or PDF files usually print best)
  • The date you need the bags by

Why Choose Brown Paper Bags With Handles for Takeaway?

Brown paper bags with handles are strong, easy to carry and suit how most takeaway food is now packed. Twisted paper handles spread the weight of heavier orders, such as several containers of curry or a stack of pizza boxes. Kraft’s natural finish also suits businesses with a fresh or handmade look. Adding a printed logo turns a routine purchase into repeat advertising at little extra effort.

Kraft paper bags do have limits. They aren’t waterproof, and oily food placed straight into an unlined bag will mark the paper. For hot chips, pastries and other greasy food, pack the food in a container first or use greaseproof lined paper bags.

Choosing the Right Takeaway Paper Bag Size

The right takeaway paper bag is one your most common order fits into flat, with room left to fold or hold the top. Start with the containers you use most. Check that the bag’s gusset is at least as wide as your largest flat-bottomed container, so food doesn’t tilt and leak in transit. Many businesses keep two sizes: a 3 Square bag for everyday orders and a 4 Square bag for larger ones. If your menu has changed or you’re opening a new venue, our team can suggest a size based on the containers you use.

FAQS

1. What is the difference between kraft paper bags and ordinary paper bags?

Kraft paper bags are made from kraft paper, a strong, unbleached paper produced by the kraft pulping process. The pulping process keeps wood fibres long, so kraft bags tear less easily and carry more weight than bags made from thinner or recycled-only paper. The brown colour is the paper’s natural shade. White kraft bags are bleached versions of the same paper.

2. Can I get kraft paper bags printed with my logo?

Yes. Disposable King’s team can discuss printing your logo on kraft paper bags. Send us your bag style, estimated quantity and logo file, and we’ll confirm the printing options, pricing and timing for your order. Simple logos in dark inks give the clearest result on brown kraft.

3. What is the minimum order for custom printed kraft bags?

Minimum quantities for printed bags depend on the bag style and the print, so we confirm them when you enquire. Unprinted stock bags are sold by the carton, for example 250 bags per carton of the 3 Square twisted handle bag. Stock bags suit businesses that want to test a size before committing to a printed run.

4. What size paper bag do I need for delivery orders?

For most single or two-container delivery orders, a 3 Square twisted handle bag (305 × 310 mm with a 180 mm gusset) is a practical starting point. Larger orders, family meals and stacked containers usually need the 4 Square (Jumbo) bag. Check that your widest container sits flat in the gusset.

5. Are brown kraft paper bags recyclable?

Clean, dry kraft paper bags are generally accepted in Australian kerbside paper and cardboard recycling. Bags soaked with oil or holding food scraps usually aren’t, because food contamination affects paper recycling. Printing a short “please recycle” message on custom bags can help customers dispose of them correctly. Local council rules vary, so check yours.

6. Are twisted handle or die-cut handle bags stronger?

Twisted handle bags generally carry heavier loads because the cord handles are glued to a reinforced strip inside the bag and spread the weight. Die-cut handles are punched through the paper itself, so they suit lighter items like bakery goods, retail purchases or small takeaway orders.

7. Can kraft paper bags hold hot food?

Kraft paper bags can carry hot food that’s already packed in containers, such as sealed bowls or boxes. Unlined kraft paper isn’t grease-resistant, so oily or fried food placed straight into the bag will mark it. Use greaseproof lined paper bags for pastries, hot chips and other greasy food.

8. Do you deliver takeaway paper bags outside Melbourne?

No. Disposable King delivers within Melbourne only, up to 65 km from the Melbourne CBD. We don’t deliver Australia-wide, interstate or to regional areas outside that zone. Orders over $150 (ex GST) within 35 km of the Melbourne CBD get free delivery. We can’t deliver to PO boxes or parcel lockers.

9. How much do custom printed kraft paper bags cost?

Printed bag pricing depends on bag size, quantity and number of print colours, so it’s quoted per order. Stock kraft bag prices are listed on each product page, both ex GST and inc GST. Larger print runs usually lower the cost per bag, which is worth considering if you reorder often.

10. What colours print best on brown kraft paper?

Dark colours print best on brown kraft paper. Black, navy, dark green and deep red give strong contrast and stay readable. Brown kraft has no white base, so light colours such as yellow, pastel or white usually look muted. If your brand uses light colours, ask our team whether a single dark version of your logo would work better.
