Premium Custom Sandwich Bags for Your Food Service Business
When it comes to food packaging that combines functionality with brand visibility, custom sandwich bags are an essential investment for cafes, delis, food trucks, and catering businesses. At Teal Packaging, we specialize in creating personalized sandwich bags that protect your food while showcasing your brand identity. Our custom sandwich bags are designed to keep sandwiches fresh, prevent grease stains, and provide a professional presentation that customers remember.
Whether you're running a bustling downtown deli or a mobile food service, branded sandwich bags elevate the customer experience. These bags serve as portable advertisements, carrying your logo and message directly into your customers' hands and offices. With a minimum order quantity of just 50 units and a turnaround time of only two weeks, Teal Packaging makes it easy to get started with custom printed sandwich bags that match your brand perfectly.
Our manufacturing partners use food-safe materials and eco-friendly printing processes to ensure your sandwiches stay fresh while your environmental commitment stays strong. Every custom sandwich bag we produce meets strict food safety standards and can be customized with your choice of colors, logos, and messaging. From classic kraft paper to grease-resistant options, we offer sandwich bag solutions that work as hard as you do.
Materials and Specifications for Custom Sandwich Bags
We offer custom sandwich bags in multiple material options to suit different food types and business needs. Our standard kraft paper bags range from 35 gsm to 50 gsm, providing excellent strength and grease resistance. For businesses requiring enhanced moisture protection, we offer bags with poly-lined interiors that prevent oil seepage while maintaining the natural look of kraft paper on the outside.
Each material option is carefully selected by our manufacturing partners to ensure food safety compliance and durability. The 35 gsm kraft option works beautifully for dry sandwiches and wraps, while our 50 gsm material handles heavier, sauce-laden sandwiches with ease. All materials are FSC-certified, meaning they come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.
Our printing process uses soy-based inks that are completely food-safe and environmentally friendly. These inks create vibrant, long-lasting prints that won't fade or smudge during handling. The combination of quality materials and sustainable printing makes our personalized sandwich bags a smart choice for businesses that care about both presentation and planet.
Customization Options for Your Brand
Teal Packaging offers extensive customization options for your sandwich bags. You can print your logo in full color, add your business name and contact information, or create a complete custom design that tells your brand story. Our free design support team works with you to develop artwork that looks professional and prints beautifully on your chosen material.
Choose from several printing methods including flexographic printing for high-volume orders or digital printing for smaller batches with complex designs. We can incorporate QR codes that link to your menu or social media, ingredient labels for allergen information, or promotional messages that encourage repeat business. Window panels can be added to showcase your sandwich fillings, creating visual appeal that drives sales.
Color options range from natural kraft to white, and we can print in one color, two colors, or full CMYK depending on your design needs. Many of our clients pair their custom sandwich bags with custom food boxes for a complete branded packaging system. Whether you want a minimalist design or a bold, colorful statement, our customization capabilities can bring your vision to life.
Standard and Custom Sizes Available
Our custom sandwich bags come in industry-standard sizes that accommodate most sandwich types. The most popular size is 6.5 inches by 1 inch by 8 inches, which fits standard sub sandwiches, wraps, and paninis perfectly. For smaller sandwiches or breakfast items, we offer 6 inches by 1 inch by 6.75 inches bags that provide a snug, professional fit.
Large submarine sandwiches and footlong options require our 7 inches by 2 inches by 12 inches size, which prevents crushing while maintaining structural integrity. We also produce custom sizes to match your specific needs. Many bakery clients order 5 inches by 1 inch by 5 inches bags for bagels and breakfast sandwiches, while food trucks often prefer 7 inches by 1.5 inches by 9 inches for their signature offerings.
Custom sizing is available for orders above our minimum quantity, allowing you to create bags that fit your products perfectly. Proper sizing reduces material waste and creates a more polished presentation. Our design team can help you determine the ideal dimensions based on your sandwich specifications and portion sizes.
Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
Every custom sandwich bag from Teal Packaging is produced with environmental responsibility at the forefront. We exclusively use FSC-certified paper materials, ensuring that the forests where our materials originate are managed sustainably for future generations. This certification is independently verified and provides assurance that your packaging choices support responsible forestry practices.
Our soy-based inks replace traditional petroleum-based alternatives, reducing the environmental impact of the printing process while maintaining excellent color quality and adhesion. These inks are renewable, biodegradable, and produce fewer volatile organic compounds during production. The result is custom printed sandwich bags that look fantastic while minimizing environmental harm.
All of our sandwich bag options are fully recyclable and many are compostable in commercial composting facilities. This means your customers can dispose of their bags responsibly, aligning with the growing consumer preference for sustainable packaging. By choosing eco-friendly sandwich bags, you demonstrate corporate responsibility while meeting the expectations of environmentally conscious customers. Our commitment to sustainability extends to our kraft boxes and retail packaging as well.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Sandwich Bags
What is the minimum order quantity for bespoke sandwich bags?
The minimum order quantity for your packaging at Teal Packaging is just 50 units. This low minimum makes professional custom packaging accessible to small cafes, food trucks, and startup food businesses. Unlike competitors who require orders of 1,000 or more, we believe every business deserves quality branded packaging regardless of size. Our 50-unit minimum allows you to test designs, run limited promotions, or simply order what you need without excess inventory.
How long does production take for custom printed sandwich bags?
Our standard turnaround time is two weeks from proof approval to delivery. This includes production time at our manufacturing partners' facilities and shipping to your location. Rush orders may be available for an additional fee if you have urgent deadlines. We recommend placing orders at least three weeks before you need the bags to account for design revision time and any shipping delays. For recurring orders, many clients establish a regular schedule to ensure they never run out of packaging.
Are your sandwich bags food-safe and compliant with regulations?
Absolutely. All materials used in our sandwich bags meet FDA requirements for food contact. Our manufacturing partners follow strict quality control protocols to ensure every bag is safe for direct food contact. The soy-based inks we use are specifically formulated for food packaging and contain no harmful chemicals that could migrate to food products. Each material option undergoes testing to verify compliance with food safety standards in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia.
Can I order different sizes or designs in the same order?
Yes, you can combine multiple sizes or designs in a single order, though each variation must meet the 50-unit minimum independently. Many of our clients order several sizes to accommodate different menu items or seasonal variations in their designs. This flexibility allows you to create a diverse packaging lineup without placing multiple separate orders. Our team can coordinate production to ensure all variations are delivered together, simplifying inventory management.
What file format should I use for my logo or design?
We accept vector files in AI, EPS, or PDF format for the best print quality. High-resolution PNG or JPG files (300 DPI or higher) also work well for most designs. If you don't have print-ready artwork, our free design support team can work with lower-quality files or even hand-drawn sketches to create professional designs. We'll convert your artwork to the proper format and provide a proof showing exactly how it will appear on your bespoke sandwich bags before production begins. Whether you need simple logo placement or complex multi-color designs, our team ensures your vision translates perfectly to the final product.
