July 12 is celebrated as Paper Bag Day, a day that honors this simple-yet-wonderful invention!
Paper bag packaging is used throughout the world, and flat-bottomed paper bags remain popular as a choice to carry, gift, store, and transport things – food, included. Many of us also collect paper bags for further use in crafting projects, gifting, protecting, and storing things. So versatile!
Now when it comes to paper bag packaging for food, we love delivering and handing over your order in our paper carry bags! We know it’s an i’m lovin’ it moment for you too. ???? That feeling when you’ve got your fave McDonald’s food delivered or safely packed in our paper carry bags, and you can’t wait to dig in!
There’s more to our paper carry bags, and the happiness they contain! ????????????????????☕
Did you know that our customer-facing packaging is made of biodegradable corn starch and FSC®(Forest Stewardship Council)-certified paper? The paper we use is sustainably sourced, and easy to dispose of. You may have noticed the Tidyman symbol on some of our paper packaging, which simply guides you to responsible disposal of the material.
Additionally, some of our packaging is cute AND durable so we understand if some of you DIY enthusiasts chose to repurpose it! Read: Our sturdy cheerful yellow boxes we use, to deliver hot McCafé® beverages in. ????
Paper bags for food packaging and other uses
Our paper bags for food packaging that come with the Golden Guarantee sticker MEAN joy! They also keep your order safe and meals fresh. Say, if you were to get your order from McDonald’s Drive Thru or Take Away counters, you can enjoy it fresh in your vehicle or as soon as you reach your location. Not to mention, crumbling up the paper afterwards and recycling it responsibly!
In our commitment to doing better for our planet, we’ve eliminated the use of single-use plastic in our customer-facing packaging. This means the cutlery you receive in your order is made of environment-friendly wood, PLA (Polylactic Acid AKA fermented plant starch), and paper.
Maybe the next time you receive your order in our paper carry bags, you can keep the paper wrappers safely aside to study later! Tell us what recycling symbols you notice on them, and if you like – how you dispose of or reuse our paper packaging!
That’s it from us! Now… If you’re hungry for a feel-good burger and fries, we get it! Use the McDonald’s App at our restaurants to score on current deals, and if you’re ordering in – click on the McDelivery® website or McDelivery® App!
