Printed takeout bags for Rancho Bernardo restaurants.

A planned town at the north edge

Rancho Bernardo is the northernmost neighborhood in the City of San Diego. The City's profile puts it at about 6,511 acres along the I 15, just south of Hodges Reservoir and the San Pasqual Valley.

It was planned from the start. The City adopted the first plan back in 1962, and each neighborhood got its own parks and clubs. Streets curve over the hills, homes sit on quiet loops, and almost everyone drives.

That shapes takeout. People here do not stroll past your window. They order, park, grab the bag and drive. The bag is the thing they hold, set on the seat and carry inside. That is your one moment to be remembered.

Lunch for the whole office

The community plan sets aside about 612 acres for two industrial parks. The bigger one, Bernardo Industrial Park, covers 588 acres. Those parks fill with people who need lunch, five days a week.

An office order is not one bag. It is six salads, four bowls, a tray of drinks and someone carrying it all back across a parking lot. Then the bags sit on a break room table while the whole team walks by.

That table is free advertising. A plain brown bag says nothing. A bag with your logo tells twenty coworkers where lunch came from, and the next order often comes from someone who just saw it.

The town center is your billboard

The plan calls the 53 acre town center the focal point of the community, and says most commercial activity gathers around it. That is where errands, dinner pickups and weekend crowds all cross paths.

Picture a Friday. A family walks out with three bags of dinner and crosses a busy lot. Every person in that lot sees the bags. With your name printed big and bold, that short walk does real work.

Keep it simple. One clear name, one dark color on brown kraft, and plenty of space. You have 12 × 14 in of print area on the front. Our print proof page shows how the ink sits on the paper.

A bag built for the drive

Dinner in Rancho Bernardo often rides a few miles of curving road. Our bag is 12″ × 7″ × 14″, made from 110 GSM kraft, with a square bottom that carries up to 22 lb. Containers sit flat and stay put on the turns.

Seal the top with a food tamper-evident sticker and the order arrives closed. Down the hill, Poway restaurants send food home the same way. And every shop in the county gets the same deal on logo printed takeout bags in San Diego.
