Wholesale Takeaway Paper & Plastic Carrier Bags
At Supply Express, you can buy a complete range of wholesale takeaway bags. We supply foodservice, catering, and retail businesses across the UK. You can choose from kraft paper bags, plastic carrier bags, and food-safe packaging bags. We specifically design these products to support fast-paced takeaway, delivery, and in-store operations.
Do you run a café, takeaway, or restaurant? Perhaps you operate a bakery, food truck, or retail shop. These bag packaging solutions help you carry heavy orders safely. They also help you present your brand professionally to your customers.
Paper, Plastic & Eco-Friendly Bags for Catering
You can choose from paper carrier bags, plastic food bags, and eco-friendly alternatives. These options suit different food types, weights, and serving temperatures. Grease-resistant options help reduce staining and improve handling for hot foods. Meanwhile, clear bags are ideal when visibility matters for prep and display.
Many businesses need stable, upright carriers for full meals. Our SOS kraft paper carrier bags are a highly popular choice for takeaways and retail counters. For heavier or high-volume orders, businesses often keep plastic carrier bags on hand for durable everyday use. We supply all bags in wholesale case quantities. This helps you control costs while keeping your packaging quality completely consistent.
Explore Our Full Range of Wholesale Bags
Selecting the right bag depends heavily on what you are serving. Use this quick guide to match our wholesale carrier and packaging bags to your specific menu items.

How to Choose the Right Takeaway Bags
If you serve meals and drinks together, you must choose a bag that supports the full order weight. It also needs to keep items upright to prevent spills. Many businesses use SOS paper carrier bags for maximum stability. They then add a second option, such as plastic carrier bags, for wet weather or exceptionally heavy loads.
Product visibility actively helps drive sales at bakery counters. Using film-fronted window bags can drastically improve your presentation while keeping items protected from airborne contaminants. For back-of-house food prep and storage, many commercial kitchens rely on clear polythene food bags. They are food-safe, highly practical, and very cost-effective for daily use.
