Brown SOS Paper Bag Large 250 x 160 x 400mm
The everyday large SOS bag for takeaway meal service
The 250 x 160 x 400mm brown SOS bag is the everyday takeaway workhorse — sized for a standard main-course meal box, a pair of stacked containers or the party-food carry that doesn't need jumbo capacity. Tall pillar shape with block-bottom base holds shape when set down at the pass; grab handles let counter staff hand the order over one-handed. The most-ordered SOS size across steady takeaway operations that carry meal, sides and drinks in a single bag.
Food-contact safe kraft for hot takeaway
Uncoated brown kraft, food-contact certified under EU Regulation 1935/2004 — safe against direct food or a takeaway container holding a hot meal. Biodegradable; recyclable through the paper stream when free of food residue or grease. 100 bags per case.
Where large sits in the SOS bag range
Size-tier below the jumbo 310 x 160 x 440mm SOS bag — jump up when an order goes beyond one main plus sides. For flat-handle variants (neater shopfront presentation), see the large flat-internal-handle SOS bag at the same 100-per-case format.
