Kraft packaging delivers a natural, premium look that customers increasingly expect, supports sustainability messaging, and performs reliably for hot, cold, and dry foods.

Key Features of Our Kraft Paper Bags & Containers

Our Thunder Bay kraft paper supply covers the formats food businesses use every day. Kraft paper bags come in standard handle and no-handle sizes that fit common take-out orders — from single sandwiches to multi-item meals. Bio-box kraft paper containers in #1, #4, and #8 sizes are the industry-standard sizing for everything from small side orders to large entrées and salads. The natural unbleached kraft material delivers a premium artisan look without dyes or chemical bleaching. Construction is sturdy — handles hold up under realistic take-out weights, and containers resist sagging from moisture and oil far better than thin alternatives. Many bio-box containers are constructed from sustainable sources and are recyclable in Thunder Bay municipal recycling programs. Wholesale case quantities range from a few hundred to several thousand units, scaled to match real restaurant ordering patterns.

Benefits for Thunder Bay Businesses

Buying kraft bags and containers wholesale from Price Direct delivers brand, cost, and operational benefits for Thunder Bay food businesses. Brand-wise, kraft packaging communicates quality and sustainability — increasingly expected by Thunder Bay customers, especially in the under-40 demographic. Restaurants and cafés using kraft instead of generic white plastic often see this reflected in customer reviews and social media presentation. Cost-wise, wholesale case pricing drops per-unit cost dramatically compared to retail packaging or small-quantity buys. For high-volume operations, this can represent thousands of dollars in annual savings on packaging alone. Operationally, kraft containers stack and store more efficiently than rigid plastic alternatives, freeing valuable back-of-house storage space. The sustainability angle also supports municipal compliance and marketing — green packaging is increasingly tied to consumer purchasing decisions across Northwestern Ontario.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are kraft paper bags grease-resistant? Standard kraft bags offer some grease resistance but heavily greasy items (deep-fried foods, oily wraps) may show through. Greaseproof kraft bags are also available for these applications — contact us for the right grade.

What are #1, #4, and #8 bio-box sizes? These are industry-standard container sizes used by restaurants and food service. #1 is the smallest (typically side-order portions), #4 is medium-large (typical entrée portions), and #8 is the largest (family-size or bulk). Contact us for exact dimensions and capacities.

Are your kraft containers microwave-safe? Most kraft bio-box containers are designed for food packaging at safe handling temperatures, but they are generally not intended for microwave reheating. For microwave-safe takeout, see our microwaveable container range.

Are kraft bags recyclable in Thunder Bay? Yes — kraft paper bags without plastic windows or coatings are recyclable through Thunder Bay’s curbside recycling program. Confirm current program guidelines with the City of Thunder Bay.

Do you offer custom-printed kraft bags? Standard kraft bags are stocked plain. For custom-printed branding, contact us to discuss minimum order quantities and lead times.

What’s the minimum order quantity? Our pricing scales with order size. Most kraft products ship in cases of several hundred units, with case pricing significantly below per-unit retail.
