Paper, Plastic & Eco-Friendly Bags for Takeaway, Retail & Catering

You can choose from paper carrier bags, plastic food bags and eco-friendly alternatives to suit different food types, weights and serving temperatures. For hot food, grease-resistant options help reduce staining and improve handling, while clear bags are ideal when visibility matters for prep and display.

If you need stable, upright carriers for full orders, our SOS kraft paper carrier bags are a popular choice for takeaways and retail counters. For heavier or high-volume orders, many businesses also keep plastic carrier bags on hand for durable everyday use.

All bags are supplied in wholesale case quantities to help you control costs while keeping packaging quality consistent.

How to Choose the Right Takeaway Bags

If you serve meals and drinks together, choose a bag that supports the full order weight and keeps items upright. Many businesses use SOS paper carrier bags for stability, then add a second option such as plastic carrier bags for wet weather or heavier loads.

For bakery counters where product visibility helps sales, using film-fronted window bags can improve presentation while keeping items protected. For food prep and storage, many kitchens rely on clear polythene food bags because they are food-safe and practical for everyday use.
