A bag walks out of the Village. How far away can people still read your name?
Type your shop name, pick thin, regular or bold letters, then walk the bag down the street. You see the exact distance where your name turns to a blur, and what to change so it reads from farther.

Carlsbad is dropping foam foodware. The Village market runs Wednesdays.
- Foam and single-use foodware phase out
The City of Carlsbad is phasing out single-use plastic and Styrofoam disposable foodware items.
Carlsbad takeout is moving to paper and fiber, so a paper bag matches where the city is already headed.

The Carlsbad Village Association started the State Street Farmers Market in the center of the Village on October 12, 1994, and it runs every Wednesday.
Wednesdays bring a crowd to State Street, which is foot traffic a Village restaurant can catch with a bag worth carrying.

Brunch, beach walks and State Street
Carlsbad Village is small and walkable: State Street, Grand Avenue and Carlsbad Boulevard, a few blocks from the seawall. It is brunch spots, bakeries, coffee bars, poke and sushi, wine bars and tasting rooms. A lot of the crowd is visitors, which matters, because a visitor who carries your bag back to the hotel is free advertising in a lobby full of more visitors.
Outside the Village, Carlsbad is families and offices. La Costa, Bressi Ranch, the business parks off Palomar Airport Road. Lunch for the office, dinner for the house, both mostly to go.
The city is moving off foam. Your bag can lead
The City of Carlsbad is phasing out single-use plastic and foam disposable foodware. Owners there are already thinking about what their packaging is made of, and so are their customers.
A paper bag is not just allowed, it fits the direction the city is heading. And since you are buying bags anyway, the only question is whether they say your name. With us, printing your logo on the front costs $0 in setup. Other printers often charge $150+ just to get started.
We cover the rest of the county too. See how it works on our page about printed kraft bags across San Diego.
Wednesday is market day
The State Street Farmers Market has run every Wednesday since 1994, started by the Carlsbad Village Association. That is a weekly crowd walking right past Village storefronts with time to spare and an appetite.
If your shop is near State Street, Wednesday is the day a printed bag earns its keep. Somebody grabs a pastry box or a grain bowl from you, then carries your logo through the whole market.
A bag that looks good on a Carlsbad counter
Carlsbad brands tend to be clean and calm: soft colors, simple marks, lots of white space. White kraft fits that look. If you run a bakery or coffee shop with a warmer feel, brown kraft does the work for you.
- Use one or two colors. They read clearly on paper.
- Go big. The print area is 12 × 14 in, so a logo about the size of your hand is a good start.
- Add your handle or website if you want visitors to find you again after they get home.
Not sure about sizing? Our kraft bag size page shows what fits inside, from pastry boxes to a family dinner.

[03]Carlsbad answers
Asked by Village owners.
Is a kraft paper bag a good fit for Carlsbad's foodware rules?
The city is phasing out single-use plastic and foam foodware. A kraft paper bag is neither, so it lines up with where Carlsbad is going.
Can I get white bags for a clean, minimal brand?
Yes. We print on brown kraft and bright white. White kraft makes soft or bright colors stand out, brown gives a warm, natural feel.
Will it hold a family dinner from La Costa?
It carries up to 22 lb and measures 12″ × 7″ × 14″, with a square bottom so containers sit flat.
How long until bags reach the Village?
After you approve your logo on the bag, shipping is free and takes 3 to 4 business days.
