The bag is the last thing you hand over and the first thing that fails. Grease strike-through, a handle that tears, a base that gives way in the car park — all of it lands on you, not on the bag.

Rope handle bags. SOS bags. Bottle bags. Standard flat bags. Greaseproof-lined bags. Foil-lined bags. Gift bags.
Lined bags for anything hot or oily
Greaseproof and foil-lined bags exist because plain kraft strikes through. If you sell hot chips, pastries, burgers or anything fried, a lined bag is the difference between a clean handover and a stained bag and an unhappy customer.
Handle type by load
Rope handles carry weight and read as premium — right for retail and larger takeaway orders. SOS bags stand up on the bench, which makes them faster to pack during a rush. Flat bags are for light, dry items.
Print it
Paper bags are the cheapest branded surface you own and one your customer carries down the street. If you're printing anything, print these first.
