Whether you’re serving in-house diners or packing orders to go, SupplyCaddy’s portion cups provide a perfect blend of practicality, elegance, and reliability.
- Twisted Handle Bags
The importance of durability and eco-conscious materials in takeout packaging cannot be overstated. SupplyCaddy’s twisted handle bags are designed to meet restaurants’ varied food packaging needs, offering a strong, reliable solution for carrying hot meals, takeout orders, and more.
These sturdy bags come in various sizes to fit your business’s needs and are made from both brown and white kraft paper, including recycled options. They’re perfect for takeout, delivery, or even carryout options where customers need a convenient, eco-friendly way to transport their meals. For example, our 12″ x 9″ x 16″ Twisted Handle Bag is ideal for larger takeout orders, providing ample space while maintaining a clean and professional appearance. With these bags, you promote your brand and show your commitment to sustainability. The twisted handles provide extra strength and ease of transport, making them a must-have for your restaurant’s to-go service.

Designed with durability and convenience in mind, these high-quality paper bags are available in greaseproof options to keep food fresh and secure during transport, ensuring your customers receive their orders in perfect condition.
The versatility of SOS bags is unmatched, as they come in a range of sizes—from compact 1# bags to larger 25# options—making them ideal for a variety of foodservice needs.

Our paper bowls are made from durable materials, ensuring the packaging is strong enough to handle various food types while keeping everything secure.

The squat versions are designed for deeper portions, offering a secure sealing option that prevents leakage during transit. Whether you’re looking to serve a hearty soup or a fresh salad, our paper bowls balance strength, sustainability, and versatility.
- Custom Boxes
For restaurants offering a wider variety of takeout or delivery options, custom boxes are a fantastic way to add a personal touch while maintaining your commitment to sustainability. These boxes are functional and an effective branding tool, allowing you to stand out from the competition.
SupplyCaddy’s custom boxes are crafted from sturdy, recyclable paper, making them a reliable option for packaging everything from pizza to pasta or salads.
