Everyone must by now have seen those carry out paper sacks which are handed out to everyone who has to take food or goods home with them. This throwaway item is synonymous with fast food chains and supermarkets everywhere. But this idea also stretches to personal bags too since people can have them printed up with all kinds of details of the party or event that they will be used at.
Some events will require people to take home some goods from the venue. It is highly unlikely that most people will be ready for this, so having something already at hand is just another method of showing the participant or visitor that they were much appreciated. Some companies will just give out all kinds of paper goods, while others will give away many free samples of their product line and the visitor must be able to carry them with ease of course.
But perhaps the most common use for this kind of container is food. Restaurants seem to super size just about everything these days so the client will certainly be likely to take home what they cannot eat. These containers could be made from just about anything from thin materials to cardboard boxes which will stand up to some punishment. The cardboard variety is usually used to house things like pizzas or cakes when squashing them would ruin the food inside.
Although most companies have to have them as a further service to the client, some go one step further and make their logos into collectibles so that people will actually buy them from shops instead of being given them for free. Any company which is famous enough will have a logo that is synonymous with whatever they do. This is particularly true of fashion designers, like Coco Chanel, or from sportswear designer like Nike. Even Kentucky Fried Chicken does not really need any printing on since the face of the ‘colonel’ is more than enough for people to know what is inside!
These days though, most companies which have to have this kind of container have listened to the public on one particular point. No longer will the consumer be happy with plastic or nylon which will not break down very easily. Instead, they now want bio degradable material which breaks down much easier once it is discarded. Some stores even give money to charity when the shopper brings back carriers to re-use so that new ones do not have to be given out every time.
These containers can come in some pretty innovative designs too. For kids, the disposable lunch boxes can be made to look like a train carriage or postal box, or the whole thing can have a circus carousing around the edge. All are made to give the child the incentive to take good food to school instead of relying on junk food from the cafeteria.
The companies which make these can produce them in huge amounts or even amounts small enough for things like wedding parties and birthdays etc.
