Brown SOS Paper Bag Medium External Flat Handles 220 x 100 x 240mm
The fast-grab SOS bag for high-turnover counter service
The 220 x 100 x 240mm medium brown SOS bag with external flat handles — for high-throughput sites where hand-over speed matters more than neatness. Handles sit on the OUTSIDE of the bag top, so counter staff grab and lift in one motion, no fumbling inside first. That matters for busy takeaway sites, market stalls, food-court kiosks and festival vendors where seconds per order add up. Same body as the internal-flat-handle sibling; external for speed, internal for presentation.
Food-contact safe kraft for takeaway and counter
Uncoated brown kraft, food-contact certified under EU Regulation 1935/2004 — safe for direct food or a takeaway container holding a hot meal. Biodegradable; recyclable through the paper stream when free of food residue or grease. 250 bags per case.
Size ladder
Medium sits below the large 260 x 140 x 295mm flat-handle SOS bag. Note the large is internal-handle by default; external-handle is currently offered in medium only in this range.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose external flat handles over internal?
External handles sit on the outside of the bag top — faster grab-and-lift, no fumbling to hook a finger inside first. Choose external for busy takeaway, market stalls, food-court kiosks and festivals. For neater shopfront presentation, choose the internal-flat sibling.
Is this bag food-contact safe?
Yes — food-contact certified under EU Regulation 1935/2004. Safe against direct food or a takeaway container.
Is it recyclable?
Yes, through the paper stream — but only when free of food residue and grease.
