New! Cupcake Liners and Cupcake Wrappers!

Add the perfect finishing touch to your cupcake’s presentation with our newest addition, cupcake liners and wrappers! Whether you are using the liners and wrappers to bake in or dress up, it’s obvious to see why these little additions are so popular! With so many cupcake shops popping up around the nation, every baker is trying to make their creations stand out and what better way than to use these creative cupcake liners and wrappers!

With both these products there is one major difference, the liners are able to be used in a conventional oven, whereas the wrappers are used only for decoration. Every baker uses some type of liner while their creations transform, and with our new tulip and lotus cupcake liners you can add a touch of flare with their unique designs. Most standard baking cups are boring and add no special value to your cupcakes’ presentation. The lotus and tulip liners are a resemblance of the actual flower pedals, which can beautifully compliment your cupcakes!

These liners are available in the 2 styles and in small and large sizes. Each size perfectly fits into one of our cupcake inserts, so you don’t have to worry about cupcakes not fitting properly. Our small lotus baking cups fit into our mini inserts, while the large lotus, small tulip, and cupcake wrappers fit into the regular inserts. Finally the large tulip is designed to fit into our jumbo cupcake inserts. With the ability to be baked in an oven up to 425 degrees, it makes decoration that much easier!

In addition to our cupcake baking liners, we also have our cupcake wrappers! These interlocking wrappers easily hug and lock around your cupcakes for an easy finishing touch! Our cupcake wrappers are available in white and red and black and white polka dot, and topped off with the reversible feature! All of our cupcake wrappers fit perfectly in our regular cup inserts.

Our Apple-Handle style bags are a unique way to package any of your spirited bottles. The single, flat handle is a durable strap that can endure heavier weights than most handles. This handle is also much different than most wine bottle bags. In addition to wine bottles, these bags can be used for many other uses including gifts, food, and much more!

No matter what the treat is, this bag can withstand it!

In addition to the bag’s functionality, it’s serves an even better purpose of showing off your baked goods and candies. What’s more important than giving your customer that makes their jaw drop? Well, this bakery bag’s over-sized window will do just that! We are offering three convenient sizes, including: 4#, 6#, and 8#. Use these bags for baked goods, candies, popcorn, and any other delicious treat!

Finally, we are now offering a Fried Chicken paper carry out bag for all our restaurant and take out businesses! With our Hot-to-go boxes being such a big hit, we felt it would only be appropriate to add a windowed take out bag to the fried food collection! These white bags have a fun chicken design on top of the window that reads, “Fried Chicken” and also had “Chicken” stamped in the gusset of the bag. The windows also give you the opportunity to show off your amazing food. The oil and grease resistant paper prevents messes while keeping your food hot, without it going soggy. Our fried food bags are available in individual and family size portions.

No matter what your business may be, we will provide you with top quality product for your specific needs! For questions on products or to place an order, please don’t hesitate to contact us at (888)321-2248.

Bio Pak Boxes: The importance of having options and going green

When it comes to the food industry all consumers know of the endless options of different plates. With many different food groups and the millions of ways you can throw a meal together, it is only obvious that having a bigger selection of anything is better. Especially when it comes to your take out options! A take out box is more than just that of a box, it’s a personalized compliment to the chef for a job well down. It says, “This meal is too good to go to waste, so I will be enjoying the rest of this meal over the 11 o’clock news or tomorrow’s lunch.”

Here’s the scary note, many food businesses are trying to be economical and stick with Styrofoam containers, with that many take out orders are usually eaten straight from the box. That is why leftovers are so great; it’s a fabulous meal, ready to eat without the hassle. But, before you go and heat up those leftovers sitting in the Styrofoam containers, ask yourself if you want to be eating harmful chemicals? Even if it’s for a quick 30 seconds, the Styrofoam will begin to heat and melt to a certain degree and can get into your delicious meal!

It might seem like a small problem, but think of how many people bring leftovers home or to work and heat their food without thinking. Now’s the time to protect our health while still protecting our planet. This can easily be done with a smooth transition in the change of your take-out boxes. The ideal replacement: Bio-Pak boxes. The latest and most unique line of take out boxes are available at MrTakeOutBags.com in all sizes and styles. You want options and a big selection? We are the only distributor to off every style and every size!

oose which price, style, and green-friendly level which is best for you! The most green-friendly option is our Bio-pak Terra because of it’s capabilities to full compost in a commercial composting facility. The fully compostable liner separates this take out box from the others in the line. At a more economical cost with green-friendly features, our most popular bio-pak box is the bio-plus Earth that is 100% recyclable!

The bio-pak Sonoma and Inspired by Nature lines are a great take out box with a subtle design. But, if you’re looking for something more along the lines of simple, the bio-pak black and white boxes are perfect for just that.

The little things eventually begin to add up, and with some things it may be good, but in this case the cheap and harmful Styrofoam containers need to be put to rest. Let’s have the food industry move forward! MrTakeOutBags.com can help with taking the next step! Check out this little video for info!
