Quick answers

What sizes do takeaway paper bags come in?

There are two sizes: 34 x 17.5 x 24.5 cm and 26 x 17.5 x 24.5 cm. Both share the same 17.5 and 24.5 cm measurements, and the difference is the 34 cm versus 26 cm dimension. The larger suits family orders and multiple containers, the narrower one single meals. For other measurements, ask through Get a Quote.

How much are printed takeaway bags?

Prices start at £42.74 for 25 bags on the cheapest combination. 100 bags start at £139.54, and 1000 at £1,062.48. The configurator shows the live price once you choose your size and quantity. Compare with other food and retail packaging in the packaging and bags category.

How long do takeaway bags take to print?

Production typically takes around 4 working days. Think of that as a guide rather than a fixed date, and allow for delivery unless you collect in Manchester. If you are opening a new restaurant or launching a delivery menu, check the timing first through Contact Web Print Signs.

Are takeaway paper bags safe for hot food or greasy items?

The product page doesn't list a paper grade, coating or food-contact detail, so we can't confirm grease or heat resistance from the listing. If your bags will carry hot or oily food directly, rather than food in containers, ask the team before ordering using the contact page.

What is the minimum order for takeaway paper bags?

You can order as few as 25 bags, which is useful for testing a design or for a pop-up kitchen. Quantities then step up through 50, 75, 100 and beyond, all the way to 10000. For a new food business, a short first run lets you see the bag in use before buying in bulk. Browse the menu printing page for matching menus.

Can I collect takeaway bags in Manchester?

Yes. Collect your order from Unit 3, 116 Bury New Road, Manchester M8 8EB, or choose UK delivery with the cost shown at checkout. Large runs take up space, so plan storage near your kitchen. Towns and cities we regularly work in are listed on our areas we cover page.

Can I add my own logo and menu details?

Yes. Upload print-ready artwork with your logo, phone number, website or ordering app details, or choose the Professional artwork and design service (+£36.00) to have it laid out for you. Keep the message short so it reads at a glance. For other branded bags, see custom printed bags Manchester.

Asked by buyers 22

Which size should a pizza or burger shop choose?

For a single meal with a drink, the 26 x 17.5 x 24.5 cm bag is usually enough. Family orders, several boxes or sides and drinks together fit better in the 34 x 17.5 x 24.5 cm bag. Many shops stock both so the bag matches the order. Measure your most common box before deciding.

Do the takeaway bags have handles?

The listing doesn't specify a handle type, and there's no handle option in the configurator. If carrying style is important, for example for delivery riders or heavy orders, confirm the bag construction with the team before you buy. Send your questions through Get a Quote together with your quantity.

What paper colour are the takeaway bags?

The page doesn't state a paper colour or stock, and there's no paper dropdown. If the base colour affects your design, such as light artwork that needs a white background, ask before ordering. For a bag where you can choose White Kraft or Brown Kraft, look at Printed Paper Bags.

Will a 34 cm bag fit a standard pizza box?

It depends on your box size and which way it sits in the bag. Compare the box dimensions with 34 x 17.5 x 24.5 cm, allowing some room so the bag closes. Larger pizza boxes may need a different solution. If you are unsure, send your box measurements through the contact page and the team can advise.

Can I order more than 10000 takeaway bags?

The dropdown tops out at 10000, with steps such as 5000, 7000, 8000 and 9000 along the way. Chains and busy delivery kitchens may need more across a year. For a larger run or a split delivery schedule, ask for a price through Get a Quote.

Why do 250 and 275 bags cost the same?

On the cheapest combination, both 250 and 275 bags come to £312.67, so the extra 25 bags cost nothing more at that step. If 250 is close to your need, it makes sense to pick 275. The configurator always shows the live price, so check nearby quantities before you buy.

Does the bag size change the price?

It can. The prices quoted on this page are the cheapest combination, and switching between the two sizes may move the total. Set your quantity first, then toggle the Size dropdown and watch the live price change. That shows the real difference for your order before you add it to the cart.

How many bags does a busy takeaway need?

Count your average weekly orders and multiply by the weeks you want the stock to last, adding a margin for busy weekends and events. A takeaway doing 300 orders a week might order 3000 or 4000 at a time. Ordering in larger steps lowers the cost per bag, as the live prices show.

What should I print on a takeaway bag?

Your logo, phone number and website or app are the essentials, since the bag is often what reminds people where to reorder. A short line about delivery areas or opening hours works too. Keep it bold and clear. For a full set of matching print, see our flyer printing service for menus through the door.

Which file type is best for takeaway bag artwork?

A print-ready PDF at the finished size is the safest choice. Use high-resolution logos and keep important details away from folds and edges. If you're not sure how to prepare it, the Professional artwork and design service at the artwork step can set it up instead.

Should I add a QR code to my takeaway bags?

A QR code linking to your online menu or ordering page can turn a finished meal into the next order. Make it large enough to scan easily and test it before you send artwork. If you need a site for it to link to, see our landing page design service.

How do I order takeaway paper bags online?

Choose your Size and Quantity; the price updates straight away. Then pick your artwork route, add the bags to the cart and pay by card at checkout through Stripe, using Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay or Google Pay. You can add matching items from the online print shop before paying.

Can I order both sizes in a single checkout?

Yes. Configure the first size and add it to the cart, then change the Size dropdown, set a quantity and add the second. Both can use the same artwork if it fits each bag. Everything is paid for together, which makes restocking two sizes simple.

Do you deliver takeaway bags across the UK?

Yes. UK delivery is available and the cost is calculated at checkout before you pay. Restaurants near Manchester can also collect from Bury New Road. If you run a food business in another town, see the places we regularly cover on the areas we cover page.

Who prints the takeaway bags?

WEB PRINT & SIGNS LIMITED, a Manchester print, signs and web company trading since 2003 that has helped over 20,000 UK businesses. You can call 0161 315 1151 or email hello@webprintsigns.co.uk. Read more about Web Print Signs.

Are takeaway bags useful for cafes and coffee shops?

Yes. Cafes use them for pastries, sandwiches and multi-drink orders, and a branded bag looks more professional than a plain one. The 26 x 17.5 x 24.5 cm size covers most cafe orders. For table branding, see Tent Cards to promote specials on the counter.

Can bakeries use takeaway paper bags?

Yes, for boxed cakes, loaves and celebration orders. A bag with your name on it helps people remember where the cake came from at a party. For smaller items, such as single pastries or cookies, compare Printed Paper Bags in the Small size.

Are takeaway bags good for delivery-only kitchens?

Yes. When customers never visit, the bag is one of the few places your brand meets them. Print the ordering link and a social handle so they can find you again. For local search visibility to back it up, see our Google Business Profile Manchester service.

What else can I include in a takeaway order?

A loyalty card, a menu leaflet or a discount voucher for the next order can go into every bag. Our loyalty card printing page covers stamp cards, and branded stickers can seal the bag. Together they turn one order into repeat business.

Can retail shops use takeaway paper bags?

Yes. Although made with food in mind, the two sizes also suit gift shops, delis and farm shops for boxed or bulky items. If you need a wider choice of sizes and print areas for retail, Printed Paper Bags offer Small, Medium and Large.

Can the two bag sizes carry different designs?

Yes. Each size is a separate item in the cart, so you can upload a different file for each one. Some kitchens put the full logo on the bigger bag and a simpler mark on the narrower one. Just make sure each file is set up for the bag it belongs to, since the widths differ.

Is it worth printing a seasonal design for Christmas or Ramadan?

It can be, as long as the run matches how many orders you expect in that period. A short run of 25 to a few hundred keeps leftovers low once the season ends. Keep your everyday bags for the rest of the year. To promote the seasonal menu in the window, see our window sticker printing page.
