About Food & Restaurant Bags & Totes

If you’ve got a business to promote, the clock is ticking. With so many companies competing for attention in this jam-packed world, it’s critical you get your marketing up to snuff as soon as possible. But this is easier said than done, and many businesses aren’t sure how to get the job done.

For food service, luckily, the job is easier than for many. Because you give out so many bags in the course of takeout or delivery meals, you have a read- made opportunity right at your fingertips. Literally; each time you hand a bag to a customer or carry a delivery from car to front door, that’s a marketing excuse.

Today, we’ll run the numbers and discuss exactly why you should leverage the power of food service bags and totes today. We’ll also take a look at the types of food industry bags available as well as the best way to go about crafting your own. When you’re finished, you’ll have all the information you need to make a savvy marketing decision today.

So pull out that promotional notepad and start taking notes.

Extremely Effective Promotional Products: Your Gateway to Better Business

Chances are you own a number of promotional items. Most of us do, from pens and notepads to reusable bags and tee shirts. Then there are the umbrellas, calendars, hats, keychains and more. You may think these promo items fade into the background, but the truth is, they’re doing more than you think to keep those brands top of mind.

“More than three-fourths of respondents in a recent study could recall the name of the advertiser who gave them a promotional product,” says Fully Promoted. Moreover, “80% of consumers own between 1 and 10 promotional products” and “A full 83% of customers like receiving promotional products with an advertising message from a company.” Plus, “a full 59% have a more favorable impression of the brand after receiving the product.” Wahoo!

Oh, there’s more: “More than three out of five consumers (63%) will pass on promotional products if they don’t deem those promotional products useful anymore.” If that seems like a bummer to you, think again. Your client or customer already got their usefulness out of the product and was going to get rid of it no matter what. But since reusable promo items have such a long life, your marketing efforts will live on – even in the lives of those who have never heard of your brand.

Translation: You’re getting your message to people who don’t yet know you exist, widening your scope of awareness and priming new clients and customers without lifting a finger. Perhaps this explains why branded bags, which get a massive 1,000 impressions per dollar and almost 6,000 in their lifetime, are so popular.

Now the question becomes, which branded bags should you choose for your food-service marketing efforts?

High Quality Paper Takeout Bags

First up are your classic paper takeout bags. These are made of durable paper that can fit several boxes of food, from flat takeout boxes to upright Chinese food cartons. With strong handles and seams, you can really load them up without worrying about breakage. Plus, their durable construction makes them perfect for multiple uses, which means they still have life left after you send your customer home with food or drop it off at their front door.

Consider the Wide Gusset Takeout Bag, which is made of all-natural craft paper and is perfect for organic food stores, delicatessens, vegan establishments and others with a strong health or environmental vibe.

On the other hand, our Wide Gusset Takeout Bag in white offers a more upscale feel. This is ideal for caterers of fancy events, such as small weddings or office parties. It’s also perfect for those who sell boutique food items, such as jams or olives, oils and vinegars along with their deli or restaurant options. You can use either for such a wide variety of food items, and your customers will then fold them up and add them to their reusable bag stores. There you go: instant remarketing.

Durable Non Woven Food Bags

If you want to extend the useful life of your bags even further, it’s time to turn your attention to non woven materials. These last many years, especially if well cared for, and at fractions of a penny per impression, they’re so worth the minor dent in your marketing budget.

A Cube Bag Tote with Insert, for instance, not only boasts strong fabric and durable handles, it has an insert to keep the bottom of the bag flat. That makes it much easier to carry heavy foods such as pastas or meat dishes, and line up drinks on the side. Whether you leave these bags with customers, sell them at the register or use them again and again yourself – major green points if you do!) – they will always promote a good impression.

The Non Woven PP Hexa Tote also lends your biz an awesome vibe, with those same environmental overtones combined with epic usefulness. A 10” x 10” x 10” cube, it also has a very appealing shape, perfect for customers who are going grocery shopping or planning their own food experience later … think picnics, meal deliveries to new parents or toting items to a bake sale.

Insulated Food Service Bags for Extra-Large Loads

Sometimes you need the power of hot delivery. Italian food, burgers and fries, pan-Asian dishes … these all need to arrive in steaming shape, which is where the Extra Large Insulated Food Service Bag comes in. Measuring 23 inches in depth by 13 inches in width by 14 inches in height, you can fit enough food for a family of 10 inside, no problem. Have a larger order? Simply stack them on top of one another. With durable construction, you can easily put them two deep without worrying about crushing the contents.

This is ideal for:

• Home deliveries
• Catering of office parties, at-home events or small weddings
• Giving away to customers who buy enough of your product or host a big event
• Holiday gift deliveries, such as client thank-yous

Never let food arrive cold or get a dissatisfied Yelp review again. With these bags by your side, you’ll make an excellent impression on your recipient as well as flash that logo before their eyes one more time.

Crafting Better Marketing Bag Results

Getting the right bag is a matter of making the right design choices, which is actually pretty simple. First, consider your needs: Hot? Cold? Single-use? Long-lasting durability? Ready to eat food? Groceries? And so on. Once you decide the use of your bags, you can then choose the right kind, followed by the right color. Then all you have to do is submit your logo artwork, review the results crafted by our team and submit your order. Considering how much power the bags have, it’s a pretty easy process.

Even better, you won’t have to wait long for your bags to arrive. Within weeks, you’ll have your beautiful branded bags on your front doorstep, ready for you to start marketing them to the wider world. With so much potential on hand – thousands of impressions for mere dollars, post-customer pass-ons and so forth – you’re making a mistake not putting these into your marketing budget ASAP.
