Custom Printed Burger Bags

Custom Printed Burger Bags for Burger Shops, Takeaways & Fast Food

Custom printed burger bags give burger restaurants, fast-food businesses and takeaway operators a compact way to serve burgers while keeping the brand visible directly on the food packaging. Unlike a rigid burger box, a burger bag is a flexible pocket-style format designed around quick packing, handheld service and efficient counter operations.

Also searched as printed burger bags, burger paper bags, branded burger bags, burger bags with logo or greaseproof burger bags, these formats are particularly useful when the burger does not need the additional structure of a box.

Packonic's current range includes White and Kraft burger bags, standard printed formats, wholesale by-weight options and a selected PE-coated White burger bag. Key products use 40 GSM greaseproof paper, food-safe 100% virgin paper and Flexo Printing, with selected specifications offering optional PFAS-free paper.

What Are Custom Printed Burger Bags?

Custom printed burger bags are pre-formed paper pockets designed to hold burgers and similar handheld foods. The restaurant's logo or artwork is printed directly onto the bag so the packaging combines food handling with visible branding.

They are especially suitable for:

• single burgers,
• hamburgers and cheeseburgers,
• smaller or standard-sized burger portions,
• fast-food counter service,
• street-food operations,
• takeaway orders,
• food trucks,
• and handheld meals where a rigid box is unnecessary.

The key distinction is the bag or pocket structure. Burger bags are not flat wrapping sheets and they are not outer paper carrier bags. The burger is placed directly inside the formed food bag.

Burger Bags With Logo & Custom Brand Printing

Burger bags with logo keep branding visible at the exact point where the customer interacts with the food. Logos, restaurant names, brand colours and repeating artwork can be printed directly onto the bag rather than added later with a label or sticker.

Custom printed burger bags can carry:

• restaurant logos,
• brand names,
• graphic patterns,
• simple promotional messages,
• brand colours,
• or artwork designed specifically for takeaway packaging.

This can be particularly valuable for burger restaurants with high takeaway volume because every individual burger leaves the kitchen in clearly identifiable branded packaging.

Burger Bag, Burger Box or Greaseproof Paper?

These three packaging formats can all be used around burgers, but they solve different problems.

Choose a Burger Bag When:

• the burger is intended for handheld eating,
• fast packing is important,
• storage space is limited,
• the burger does not require rigid protection,
• or a compact single-burger package is preferred.

Choose a Burger Box When:

• the burger is particularly tall or heavily loaded,
• greater structural protection is required,
• the meal will travel further for delivery,
• the box also needs to hold fries or additional meal components,
• or presentation requires a rigid package.

Choose Greaseproof Wrapping Paper When:

• a flat wrapping format is preferred,
• the restaurant wants to wrap rather than insert the burger into a pocket,
• a box or tray needs a branded liner,
• or the same sheet format will be used across several menu items.

Many burger restaurants use more than one format. A standard burger may go into a paper burger bag, while premium stacked burgers and meal deals use a box, and greaseproof paper can still be used as an inner wrapping or liner.

Which Burger Bag Size Should You Choose?

The current Packonic burger bag range includes key sizes of 15 × 16 cm and 17 × 21 cm.

15 × 16 cm Burger Bags

The smaller 15 × 16 cm format can suit compact burgers and smaller handheld food portions where excessive empty space would make the package unnecessarily large.

17 × 21 cm Burger Bags

The larger 17 × 21 cm format provides more room for bigger burgers, wider buns or products with additional fillings.

Before choosing a size, measure the complete assembled burger rather than relying only on bun diameter. Patties, cheese, vegetables, sauces and other toppings can all increase the final dimensions.

The correct bag should allow the burger to be inserted and removed comfortably without leaving excessive unused space.

White or Kraft Burger Bags?

Packonic offers both White and Kraft burger paper bags. The food-contact function remains similar, but the paper colour changes how the printed artwork and brand presentation appear.

White Burger Bags

White printed burger bags provide a lighter background for logos and artwork.

White can be particularly useful when:

• the logo uses stronger or brighter colours,
• the restaurant has a clean visual identity,
• contrast is important,
• or the printed artwork should be the main visual element.

Kraft Burger Bags

Kraft burger bags retain a more natural brown-paper appearance and can suit:

• artisan burger concepts,
• street-food brands,
• food trucks,
• casual dining businesses,
• natural visual identities,
• and brands using dark, black or earth-tone artwork.

The choice should be based on the brand and print design rather than assuming White or Kraft is automatically better.

40 GSM Greaseproof Burger Bags

Selected Packonic burger bags use 40 GSM greaseproof paper.

Greaseproof paper is particularly relevant for burger packaging because burgers can contain sauces, cheese, meat juices and other ingredients that come into direct contact with the bag.

The current key White and Kraft products are specified as:

• Food Safe 100% Virgin Paper
• 40 GSM Greaseproof Paper
• Flexo Printing
• with Optional PFAS Free Paper on selected formats.

This creates a product specifically designed around food-service use rather than treating an ordinary paper bag as a burger package.

Standard Printed Burger Bags From 5,000 Pieces

For businesses ordering burger bags by unit quantity, Packonic offers standard White and Kraft printed formats.

The Printed Burger Bag – Kraft currently has a minimum order quantity of 5,000 pieces.

The Printed Burger Bag – White also provides a corresponding White option for businesses whose artwork or brand presentation works better on a lighter background.

Verified key specifications include:

• Sizes: 15 × 16 cm and 17 × 21 cm
• Material: Food Safe 100% Virgin Paper
• Paper: 40 GSM Greaseproof Paper
• Printing: Flexo Printing
• PFAS: Optional PFAS Free Paper on selected specifications

These formats are more suitable for businesses with predictable burger volume that can comfortably consume several thousand bags.

Wholesale Printed Burger Bags by Kg

Packonic also offers wholesale printed burger bags by weight rather than only conventional piece-based ordering.

The Wholesale Printed Burger Bag by Kg – Kraft and Wholesale Printed Burger Bag by Kg – White both provide a separate wholesale purchasing route.

The first-party product data lists an MOQ value of 50 for these by-KG formats. Because these products are sold through a weight-based purchasing model, businesses should compare this route with piece-based 5,000-unit products according to actual monthly consumption and purchasing preference.

The wholesale by-KG formats use the same core verified product characteristics:

• 15 × 16 cm and 17 × 21 cm options,
• Food Safe 100% Virgin Paper,
• 40 GSM Greaseproof Paper,
• Flexo Printing,
• and selected Optional PFAS Free Paper specifications.

By-KG Wholesale or 5,000-Piece Burger Bags?

The best purchasing route depends on how the business controls packaging stock.

Choose Wholesale by Kg When:

• the business purchases greaseproof packaging by weight,
• weight-based stock planning fits existing procurement,
• or the restaurant wants the dedicated wholesale by-KG format.

Choose 5,000-Piece Burger Bags When:

• packaging usage is tracked by burger orders,
• piece-based inventory is easier to manage,
• the restaurant knows approximate monthly burger volume,
• or packaging consumption is planned according to units sold.

For example, a restaurant selling a known number of burgers each month may find piece-based purchasing easier to forecast, while another operation may already buy printed greaseproof products by weight.

PE-Coated Printed Burger Bag Option

The current collection also includes a PE Coated Printed Burger Bag – White.

This provides an additional specification for businesses that require a coated burger bag rather than the standard greaseproof format.

The current first-party product data lists the PE-coated White burger bag in a 15 × 16 cm format and associates it with food-safe paper, 40 GSM greaseproof paper and Flexo Printing.

Because coatings change the packaging specification, businesses should compare the standard and PE-coated versions according to the actual food, sauces and operational requirements rather than automatically choosing one over the other.

Flexo Printing for Branded Burger Bags

Packonic's key burger bag products use Flexo Printing.

Flexographic printing is well suited to repeat branded food packaging production and allows restaurants to place logos and artwork directly onto the bag.

When preparing artwork for burger bag printing, consider:

• logo visibility after the burger is inserted,
• which side customers normally see first,
• whether the design remains clear when the bag is folded or held,
• contrast on White versus Kraft paper,
• and whether a simple repeat design may work better than overly complex artwork.

Because the bag is relatively compact, clear logo placement is often more valuable than trying to fill every available surface.

PFAS-Free Burger Bag Options

Businesses looking for PFAS-free burger bags should check the specification of the exact product selected.

Several key Packonic burger bags list Optional PFAS Free Paper alongside food-safe 100% virgin paper and 40 GSM greaseproof construction.

This should be treated as a product-level option rather than a universal claim across every burger bag.

PFAS-free, recyclable, biodegradable and compostable are also different characteristics and should not be used as interchangeable sustainability terms.

Burger Bags for Fast-Food Restaurants

Fast-food burger bags are especially useful where service speed matters.

Compared with assembling a rigid box, a pre-formed burger bag can simplify packing for appropriate menu items:

• open the bag,
• insert the burger,
• complete the order,
• and move quickly to the next customer.

This makes the format particularly relevant during lunch peaks, evening takeaway periods and high-volume service where every packaging step affects kitchen flow.

Burger Bags for Takeaway & Street Food

Takeaway burger bags suit handheld eating because the customer can keep part of the burger inside the paper while eating.

This can be practical for:

• street-food stands,
• food trucks,
• markets,
• festivals,
• casual burger restaurants,
• and takeaway counters.

The pocket format can also reduce the amount of rigid packaging needed for suitable burgers while still providing a dedicated branded package around the food.

Custom Burger Bags for Dark Kitchens & Delivery Brands

Delivery-only burger brands may also use printed burger bags as an inner package before placing the complete meal inside a larger carrier bag.

A burger can be packed in its own branded bag, while fries, sides and drinks remain separate inside the final takeaway order.

This creates a packaging hierarchy where each layer has a clear purpose:

• Burger bag: individual burger packaging
• Meal box: larger or multi-component meals where required
• Greaseproof paper: wrapping or lining
• Paper carrier bag: transport of the complete customer order

Burger Paper Bags vs Outer Takeaway Paper Bags

A burger paper bag should not be confused with a handled or SOS-style takeaway carrier bag.

The burger bag is the product-level package: the burger goes directly inside it.

A custom printed paper bag is the outer carrier used to transport several food items together.

A typical order could therefore contain:

• one burger inside a printed burger bag,
• fries in separate packaging,
• napkins or wet wipes,
• and all items placed inside a larger branded carrier bag.

This distinction helps search engines, AI systems and customers understand that the two bag types serve completely different functions.

Custom Burger Bags vs Burger Boxes

Businesses choosing between a bag and a box should focus on the burger itself and the service model.

A burger bag is generally the more compact option for suitable handheld burgers and quick service.

A custom burger box offers greater structure for large, tall, heavily topped or delivery-focused burgers.

Use the following rule:

• Compact burger + fast service: consider a burger bag.
• Tall or premium burger: consider a burger box.
• Burger + fries + sides: consider a burger meal box.
• Flexible wrapping only: consider greaseproof paper.

Wholesale Burger Bags for High-Volume Restaurants

Wholesale burger bags are most relevant for businesses with predictable, high-volume burger sales.

Before ordering larger quantities, calculate:

• average burgers sold per day,
• weekly packaging consumption,
• 15 × 16 cm versus 17 × 21 cm usage,
• White versus Kraft demand,
• standard versus PE-coated requirements,
• storage capacity,
• seasonal peaks,
• and how often branding changes.

A business selling a high number of the same burger every day can plan stock very differently from a seasonal street-food operator or a restaurant with several burger formats.

Custom Printed Burger Bags for Businesses Across Europe

Businesses sourcing custom printed burger bags in Europe should compare size, paper colour, greaseproof specification, printing, purchasing format and the actual burger rather than evaluating only unit cost.

Packonic.eu provides White and Kraft burger bag formats for European burger shops, takeaway businesses, fast-food operators and foodservice brands, including both piece-based and wholesale-by-weight purchasing routes.

The strongest buying process is therefore:

• measure the burger,
• choose the bag size,
• select White or Kraft,
• decide whether standard or PE-coated construction is required,
• prepare the artwork,
• and choose the purchasing volume that matches real consumption.

Build a Complete Branded Burger Packaging System

Burger bags can work as one part of a wider branded takeaway system.

For larger or more structured menu items, businesses can combine them with custom food boxes or dedicated burger meal boxes.

Custom printed greaseproof paper can provide an alternative wrapping format or branded liner for trays and boxes.

The broader custom food packaging range can be used when the restaurant needs multiple formats across the menu.

Custom printed paper bags provide the outer carrier for complete takeaway and delivery orders.

What Should You Check Before Ordering Custom Printed Burger Bags?

Before ordering custom printed burger bags, match the bag to the burger and the restaurant's real service process.

• Burger dimensions: measure the finished burger including fillings and toppings.
• Bag size: compare 15 × 16 cm and 17 × 21 cm formats.
• White or Kraft: choose according to branding and artwork contrast.
• Paper: selected key products use 40 GSM greaseproof paper.
• Food contact: key products use food-safe 100% virgin paper.
• Printing: selected burger bags use Flexo Printing.
• PFAS requirement: check whether Optional PFAS Free Paper is needed on the selected product.
• Coating: compare standard and PE-coated formats where relevant.
• Purchasing model: choose between wholesale by-KG formats and piece-based products according to your stock planning.
• MOQ: standard key printed bags start from 5,000 pieces, while dedicated wholesale-by-KG products use a separate quantity structure.
• Bag or box: decide whether the burger actually needs rigid structural protection.
• Outer packaging: determine whether a separate carrier bag is needed for fries, drinks and complete takeaway orders.

Custom printed burger bags work best when bag size, greaseproof paper, White or Kraft material, printing and purchasing volume are selected around the actual burger and service model. For suitable menu items, they provide a compact branded packaging format that supports fast preparation, handheld takeaway and high-volume burger service without requiring a rigid box for every order.
