Whenever we have to attend a special event, like a party or wedding, the one thing nowadays is to get gift bags or any printed up paper bags at the end of the event to carry away some goodies in. Indeed, this business really sprung up from the take out containers since people realized that this is a great way to show people that their presence was much appreciated.

Of course, containers like these come in just about any materials and any designs that one can think of. Those who want to make a particular splash at an event will go for the top of the range look, while kids’ party favors can be handed out in paper sacks with the name of the host printed on the side. Either way, the guest will have a lasting reminder of when they went to the party, and this will surely make a good impression all round.

Even wedding parties have now taken on the lowly take home party favor. Indeed, guests at weddings these days would feel hard done by if they did not get a keepsake at the end of the day. Since most people do not carry containers large enough for some favors, and this could be anything from candies to photo frames, it is up to the hosts to provide something suitable for them to carry.

What these containers do though is to give hosts the opportunity to thank their guests by writing a touching message on the side, or to include some photos of the couple when they were younger. The whole even will be commemorated here too and many people keep the container as a further reminder of the big day.

For fast food joints, having containers like this is very common of course. No one would expect to bring something to take food home in. Some of the cardboard containers though have some rather good qualities since it often has heat retaining properties within. Pizza boxes, with heat sensitive patches on, will often be used by companies which promise to deliver before the pie goes cold. If the patch has turned color by the time it reaches the front door, it is free!

To stop these huge chains from losing money, they designed and had made boxes which retain heat for a long period of time. With this came the idea of guaranteeing delivery before time run out so there had to be something visual for the customer to check when it arrived. This is a great selling ploy since most people like the thought of getting something for free, even if they have to heat it up for themselves later.

Boxes and containers like this are made in vast amounts and the printing company usually holds stock for those well known companies so that they never run out. This makes it great for the company ordering the boxes since they do not have to give up valuable space to store them on their own premises. The printers get on going contracts too which must be good for business also.
