Custom Food Packaging Look Without a Print Run
Yes. You can get a consistent branded look for your food packaging without a print run by building a matching kraft-and-brown set from stock items you can order today, then adding your logo later through custom printing when you're ready. Choose every piece in the same brown kraft tone, from the bag to the napkin, and the set reads as one look on the counter.
Key takeaways
- A matching kraft-and-brown set is ordered from stock: no artwork, no waiting on a print job.
- Seven items cover the main takeaway jobs: a flat bag, a carry bag, a napkin, a cutlery pouch, a snack box, a salad bowl and a coffee cup.
- Everything is sold by the carton, and each product page shows the carton price and price per item.
- There is no minimum order, so you can trial the set before committing to larger cartons.
- When you want your logo on it, custom printing with your logo is available on selected products.
Can I get a branded look without custom printing?
Yes. A consistent colour and material across every item does most of the visual work that a printed logo does, and kraft brown is the easiest colour to match because so many stock items come in it. Pair the set with a logo sticker or stamp of your own if you want your name on it straight away.
The key is to pick from one palette and not mix in white, black or multi-colour items. A white napkin next to a brown bag breaks the look; a kraft napkin next to a brown bag holds it together. The set below sticks to brown and kraft from end to end.

What does each piece do in the set?
Each item fills one job, so you only buy what your menu needs. Here is how they fit together.
- Bags. The Kraft Bag – 2WB Flat (Carton of 500) is a 200x200mm brown paper bag for pastries, toasties and small items. The No.16 Bag – Brown SOS (Carton of 250) is a 240x120x390mm bag in brown virgin paper for carrying a full order.
- Napkins and cutlery. The Kraft Napkins – Quilted Lunch GT Fold (Carton of 2000) are 300x300mm in kraft, so they match the bags. The Kraft Cutlery – Pouch With Napkin (Carton of 1000) is a 75x190mm brown paper pouch with a napkin inside, which keeps cutlery tidy for delivery orders.
- Food containers. The Corrugated Takeaway Container – Brown Snack Box Large Plain (Carton of 200) is a 205x106x76mm brown corrugated box for wraps and snack serves. The 42oz Kraft Takeaway Container – Coated Salad Bowl (Carton of 300) is a brown bowl in PLA-coated paper for salads and grain bowls.
- Cups. The 12oz Kraft Coffee Cups – Lined SW Print 90mm (Carton of 1000) is a 12oz brown cup in PLA-coated paper, 90mm size.
Kraft paper and corrugated board have a natural brown finish, which is why they sit well together even when they come from different product lines.

How do I add my logo later?
When you are ready to move from a plain set to a printed one, custom printing with your logo is available on selected products. See the custom print page for the options, or contact us to talk through which items in your set you want printed.
Because the stock set is already a single kraft-and-brown look, a printed logo on the items you choose can build on the colours your customers already know.
