Our custom paper lunch bags create the perfect canvas for your business logo or design. Custom paper lunch bags perform the important function of conveniently packaging food while also serving as marketing material for your business.
Paper lunch bags may also be referred to as SOS bags. SOS stands for self-opening sack. Prior to the invention of SOS bags in 1883, bags were produced with v-shaped bottoms, so they couldn’t stand or open without assistance. The flat-bottom design of an SOS bag allows the bag to stand and open on its own.
Our paper lunch bags are offered in white and kraft brown. We do offer full-color printing and can print designs over the entire surface of a bag. The bags can be made water and grease-resistant with a wax lining.
Our lunch bags range in size from 3.5″ x 2.2″ x 7.1″ up to 7.1″ x 4.3″ x 12.6″. They are designated based on how much weight they can carry and the maximum weight capacity is included in the title of each product.
These bags are sturdy and easy to carry but don’t have handles. If you want bags with handles, we do offer custom paper shopping bags and custom paper bags with cutout handles.
Paper lunch bags are commonly used in the food service industry to package food. We regularly produce custom paper lunch bags for restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and grocery stores. The bags can be used to package any form of food from burgers and fries, to sandwiches, wraps, salads, and sweet desserts. Smaller lunch bags can also be ideal for packaging snacks like popcorn.
There isn’t a single national chain that doesn’t brand their takeout bags and there’s a good reason for this. These large chains understand a core business concept: branding is a vital component to growing a successful business.
Your takeout bags are used to house your food products. If they aren’t branded, it becomes harder for the customer to associate your brand with your great food. Not only that, but the bag won’t be delivering any brand impressions wherever it goes if your logo isn’t on it.
Branding your bags allows you to build a brand just like the large chains do. You can grow your brand reach and recognition by putting your logo on your takeout bags, which are then sent out into the world to do your advertising for you.
With each custom paper lunch bag costing less than a dollar, branding your bags becomes a very cost-effective form of advertising. You can generate brand impressions for less than a cent per impression. You won’t be able to generate that kind of performance with any other advertising medium. Therefore, branded paper bags can be a great way to drive brand awareness.

Our paper lunch bags are produced entirely from paper and are recyclable. However, we can produce our custom lunch bags with a grease and waterproof wax lining. If you request this lining for your bags, then they will no longer be recyclable.
There are two important things to know before you start creating your design for your paper SOS bags. First and foremost, we print using the CMYK color scale. You should design using this scale to have colors on your screen that match the colors we’ll use for printing.
We also recommend designing in a vector format, so that the design looks clear and crisp when printed. To do this, you’ll need to use a vector-based design program like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape. If you don’t have access to software that can produce a vector file, then we can help you convert your image file to a vector file free of charge.
The last thing to consider with your design is the number of colors. Designs with one or two colors are printed at no additional charge. If you want to create a design with more than two colors, then we do charge an additional $100 fee for full-color printing.
Disposable Design can ship custom paper lunch bags outside of the US. If you’re located outside of the US, you won’t be able to order directly from the site. We ask that you contact us for international orders to secure the best rates for international shipping.
