  1. 0:00Most takeout complaints start inside the bag, and the bag takes the blame.
  2. 0:05Think in two layers. Containers touch food and stop leaks; the kraft bag carries weight evenly, keeps lids level and carries your brand.
  3. 0:15Sort the menu by failure: steamy, greasy, saucy, cold. Spec for the hardest item, vent crisp food, seal sauces, bag hot and cold apart.
  4. 0:26Verify barriers: thicker board isn't grease-proof. Pack your oiliest item hot, hold it, tilt it, see where oil appears. Lock food-contact papers and provable claims before printing.
  5. 0:39Then size the bag to the containers: measure the largest footprint at the lid rim, share one or two footprints, and add clearance so handles meet.
  6. 0:50The bag's base, width by gusset, should hold that footprint level.
  7. 0:55Send container sizes, packed weight, quantity and artwork for a quote.
