You can go ahead and call us Cupid, because we’ve brought together some lovely (packaging) couples.

It’s only natural to see lots of coupling around Valentine’s Day. We thought this would be a great opportunity to showcase some of our perfect pairs. These packaging soul mates go together like eggs and bacon, cheese and crackers, or mashed potatoes and gravy. Forgive us, we’re a little obsessed with food! Whether you run a restaurant, a bakery, or coffee shop, we’ve got your attractive packaging duos covered.

Cupcake Boxes + Bakery Bags

When customers leave your shop with a box or two of your best pastries, you want to make sure they have the right bag for the job. Our favorite solution comes in clear plastic to show off your boxes, features a flat bottom to keep things from tipping over, and – perhaps most importantly – it has extra sturdy, reinforced handles on a crystal-clear, super-strong bag. It’s available in three “perfect for bakery boxes” sizes, too.

Bakery boxes also play nice with cake boards.

Pastry Bags + Coffee Cups

Who can resist a strong cup of coffee and a sweet, flakey treat? Whether you sling croissants or scones; bagels or donuts, you’ll need a suitable, grease resistant bag for baked goods. And what better buddy than coffee to accompany your morning routine?

Of course, when there are multiple cups involved it’s always great to add cup carriers into the mix, too.

Gable Boxes + Liner Tissue

Another dynamic duo is a paper lunch box, also known as gable “barn roof” style handled box, with complementary, attractive and functional food grade tissue. Enhance the presentation of your meals – while keeping grease under control – with the help of basket or box liners that come in both an array of designs as well as colors. It’s a simple, inexpensive way to add perceived value (plus a punch of color) to each of your items. It’s easy to turn dull, disposable to-go lunch boxes and containers into dazzling packaging. Did we mention these boxes are made most often with 100% recycled and recyclable natural and renewable paper fibers?

Custom couples well with just about anything

Perhaps our favorite couple is the one that marries practical packaging with customized branding. You can print your company logo on basket, box or tray liners; takeout boxes or bags, candy boxes or bags, paper soup cups, paper coffee cups and sleeves and more.

You probably have some questions about customizing. Guess what? We’ve got answers. Talk about a match made in Heaven! Call our Packaging Advisors today at 888-321-2248.

You don’t have to look far to see that it’s been a good year for new products on MrTakeOutBags.com. In 2017 we added many sought-after new items to our website. Each one was a successful addition, but some clearly became favorites among our customers. As this year comes to end we look ahead to what is on the horizon. But first, let’s take a moment to look back at some of our most popular new products.

Citrus au Natural Stackable Lunch Boxes

Ideal for packaged lunches at a corporate event or for packaging baked goods, the stackable handled boxes are a staple here at MrTakeOutBags. We wanted to offer a fresh color combo to our customers, so we came up with this exclusive “Citrus au Natural” look. The bright green and the natural brown kraft work well together, creating something both eye-catching and pleasing.

Red Ripple-Wrap Cups

Not just for Christmas and Valentine’s Day, these vibrant red ripple-wrap coffee cups work all year long. Just imagine customers walking out of your shop with these very distinct cups. They’re sure to get a lot of attention! Be the unique café in your neighborhood with these brand new paper hot cups.

Orange Meal Prep Containers

Our Cube plastic containers are one of the hottest-selling items on our website. With the surge in healthy prepared meals comes the growing need for sturdy, microwavable containers that are reusable and recyclable. When we first starting stocking the classic black option, they were flying off the shelves. We expanded to offer a bright lime green twist, and that saw a great deal of success. In 2017 we were excited to add a vivid orange container to the lineup.

Black chalkboard coffee bags

Admit it, you want your coffee shop to be different than all the others. And that’s great! We saw café owners utilizing our unique products to help set their shop apart from the competition. This year we offered another way to do just that with coffee tin tie bags that have a chalkboard outer layer. With a simple chalk marker or paint marker you can decorate each bag of coffee or tea, add personalized info on when the beans were roasted, or leave them blank for your customers to have fun with.

Have an item you’d like to see us carry? Let us know! Give us a call at 888-321-2248 or drop us a line at sales@mrtakeoutbags.com. We aim to be your one-stop shop for all your food packaging!

You may think it’s early to start thinking about the holidays, but when it comes to imported wine bottle boxes, it’s important to stay ahead of the game. These items sell out faster than anything else we carry – and for good reason, too. These Italian imported wine gift boxes are often used for packaging corporate gifts for the holidays, retirement, or business milestones. Other businesses, such as wineries, breweries, and boutique markets use these for specialty packaging and gift-giving.

For corporations

Plenty of businesses give gifts to employees and clients to show their appreciation, especially during the holiday season. The imported wine bottle carriers and wine gift boxes add a classy touch. The carriers come in one, two, and three bottle options, which allow you to decide the appropriate size of your gift.

For boutique markets

It’s not easy trying to compete in the market today. Step up your visual appeal by packaging your goods in one of these boxes. With a wide array of colors, sizes, styles, and even textured finishes, an imported gift box is sure to get noticed. And it’s a great way to represent your brand. It can be used for wine, of course, but you can also package gifts, sample kits, and even clothing.

For wineries and breweries

Of course, we didn’t forget about the companies that make all those bottle spirits! These are a must-have for wineries and breweries. Add a level of professionalism to your presentation and watch your sales improve. Take it to the next level by adding your logo to the box.

Remember, these and other imported items items can be printed to feature your logo on them. Learn more about that by calling one of our packaging experts at 888-321-2248 Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Pink used to be a color that was saved for little girls, Pepto-Bismol, and piggy banks. But Breast Cancer Awareness Month has changed all of that. The month of October now brings about plenty of pink – all for a great cause. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with breast cancer survivors, their families and supporters (men, women, boys and girls from all walks of life) donning pink clothing and using pink products. They’re all showing support by bringing attention to this disease that affects millions of women each year.

MrTakeOutBags.com has a full line of pink food packaging products from cupcake boxes to take out bags. Or, choose our specially-marked boxes of pink tissue and the manufacturer will make a donation to Susan G. Komen® for the Cure, a national foundation supporting breast cancer research.

BTW: These items are STILL perfect for a little girl’s birthday party or for a baby shower.
