What are custom food delivery bags?
A delivery bag carries an order from your kitchen to a driver and on to the customer's door. It gets picked up, put down, stacked and carried much more than a collection bag, so strength matters more.
The weight of a delivery order is easy to underestimate. Two meals, sides and drinks can quickly add up, and a bag that looked fine empty can split at the handle halfway up a customer's stairs.
Tell us what a typical and a large order look like, and we'll recommend a paper strength, size and handle that carry it safely. You test a sample with a real order before production.
Who uses printed delivery bags?
Takeaways and restaurants doing their own delivery or selling through delivery apps, burger shops, dark kitchens and virtual brands. For delivery-only brands, the bag is often the first thing a customer sees.
What delivery bags are suitable for
- Multi-meal delivery orders
- Orders with drinks
- Stacked boxes that need to stay level
- App and own-driver deliveries
- Sealed, tamper-evident orders
What can be customised
Size and base width
Sized so your boxes sit flat and stacked, not tipped on their side.
Paper strength
Matched to the weight of your orders, including drinks.
Handles
Twisted handles are usually the safer choice for delivery weights. Flat handles can work for lighter orders.
Sealing
Fold the top over and seal it with a printed sticker so the customer knows their order hasn't been opened.
Printing and design
Branding on both sides so it's visible whichever way the driver carries it. Free design support.
Delivery bag options, explained
Stronger paper with twisted handles
The usual choice for delivery. Carries heavier orders and is comfortable to hold.
A heavier kraft paper with twisted cord handles glued inside the top.
Lighter paper with flat handles
Fine for lighter single-meal deliveries, and more economical.
Printed seal stickers
A simple way to show orders are tamper-evident. Popular with delivery app customers.
How to choose the right delivery bag
- 01
What does your heaviest normal order weigh?
Pack it and weigh it. The bag should carry this comfortably, not just a single meal.
- 02
Do drinks travel in the same bag?
Cups add weight and need a stable base. Consider a wider bag or a separate cup carrier.
- 03
How long is the journey?
Longer journeys mean more handling, so a little extra strength goes a long way.
- 04
Do you need orders sealed?
If yes, choose a bag that folds neatly at the top and add a printed seal sticker.
Common mistakes to avoid
Buying the cheapest bag for delivery
If the bag can't carry your normal order, it will fail on a busy night. The cost of refunds and bad reviews is far higher than the saving.
Testing with an empty bag
Always test a sample with a full, real order, including drinks, and carry it the way a driver would.
Ignoring the base
A narrow base tips boxes and spills sauce. The base size matters as much as the height.
Delivery bag FAQs
Can delivery bags be printed with my logo?
Yes. We print your branding on one or both sides and can design the artwork with you at no extra cost.
How strong does a delivery bag need to be?
Strong enough for your typical order, including drinks. Tell us what you usually send out and we'll recommend the right paper and handles.
Can I seal my delivery bags?
Yes. A printed seal sticker across the folded top shows customers their order hasn't been opened.
What if I ask for a bag you don't think will work?
We'll tell you. If a bag is unlikely to carry your orders safely, we'll explain why and suggest a better option.
Can I test a delivery bag first?
Yes. Once you're happy with the quote, we'll prepare a sample so you can test it with a real order.
How long do custom printed delivery bags take?
Production and delivery typically take 30 to 35 days from the moment you approve your sample and artwork. The quote and sample come before that, so the sooner you get in touch, the better. If you keep stock with us in UK storage, reorders don't have to wait for a new production run.
