Six lanes of traffic, neon signs everywhere. Does your name still show from the far curb?
A person waiting for the walk signal looks at a bag for one second, maybe two. Type your shop name, choose thin, regular or bold letters, then drag the bag back. The spot where the letters blur is how far your logo really reaches.

Old dining rooms, a 290 booth festival, city cart permits. What Koreatown owners deal with.
- Old dining rooms on 8th, Western and Olympic
Koreatown's long running spots go well past Korean food. Taylor's Steakhouse at 3361 W 8th St opened in 1953 as Taylor's Tavern, Soot Bull Jeep at 3136 W 8th St has grilled Korean barbecue since 1983, Pollo a la Brasa at 764 S Western Ave dates to 1989, and La Guelaguetza on W Olympic Blvd serves regional Oaxacan food.
Steak, charcoal barbecue, rotisserie chicken and Oaxacan mole all go out the door within a few blocks, so a plain bag tells nobody which kitchen made the food.

The 53rd LA Korean Festival ran four days, October 1 to 4, at Seoul International Park in Koreatown, open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily with free admission and more than 290 booths, including a market and an agriculture and seafood expo.
Four days of free admission and hundreds of booths put a lot of food in people's hands at once, and every bag carried out of the park is seen by the whole crowd.

Anyone selling food on City of Los Angeles sidewalks or parks needs a StreetsLA sidewalk vending permit, renewed every 12 months, plus a Business Tax Registration Certificate from the Office of Finance, a California seller's permit and an LA County Department of Public Health permit. Selling without the right permit can bring fines of $250 to $1,000.
A street cart owner pays for four separate papers before the first sale, so every order needs to bring the customer back.

Way more than barbecue on these blocks
People hear Koreatown and think grills. Fair, but look closer. Taylor's Steakhouse has been on 8th Street since 1953, back when it was called Taylor's Tavern. Soot Bull Jeep has cooked over charcoal on the same street since 1983. Pollo a la Brasa has spun chicken on Western since 1989, and La Guelaguetza on Olympic is famous for Oaxacan mole.
So one apartment building can get four dinners from four kitchens on a single night. Every one of them shows up in a plain brown sack. Nobody upstairs remembers which bag came from you. Print your name on it and they do.
If you run a grill house, we wrote a whole page on packing banchan and meat trays: Korean BBQ takeout bags. This page is about the neighborhood.
A dense neighborhood means short trips
Koreatown is packed tight, with apartment blocks next to the restaurants, so plenty of people walk over to pick up food. A walk up order is a free billboard for three or four blocks. A delivery order is a free billboard in the lobby, the elevator and the hallway.
Our bag is 12″ × 7″ × 14″ with a 12″ by 7″ flat bottom. It is 110 GSM paper and carries up to 22 lb. That fits a steak dinner for two, a whole chicken with sides, or a big mole order with rice and tortillas in one trip.
Selling from a cart on a city sidewalk
Koreatown is inside the City of Los Angeles, so street food here runs on city rules. You need a StreetsLA sidewalk vending permit, and you renew it every 12 months. On top of that comes a Business Tax Registration Certificate, a state seller's permit and a county health permit. Sell without the right papers and the fine runs $250 to $1,000.
Four sets of paperwork before your first sale. That is the cost of doing business. The way to get it back is repeat customers, and the cheapest way to get repeat customers is to hand every buyer something with your name on it.
Festival week and the design that works
The LA Korean Festival is a big one. The 53rd ran four days, October 1 to 4, at Seoul International Park, with free entry and more than 290 booths. Open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. That is twelve hours a day of people carrying food around a park.
For a crowd like that, keep the logo simple. One short name, thick letters, two colors at most. On brown kraft, red, black and deep green read best. On white, almost anything bright pops. You get the full 12 × 14 in front, and setup is $0. Want the bigger picture for the whole city? Start with printed takeout bags for LA restaurants.

[03]Koreatown questions
Quick answers for owners on Wilshire and beyond.
I run a steak or chicken place, not a grill. Will the bag still fit my orders?
Yes. The flat bottom is 12″ by 7″, and the bag carries up to 22 lb, so a whole chicken, sides and drinks go in one bag.
What permits does a Koreatown sidewalk cart need?
A StreetsLA sidewalk vending permit renewed every 12 months, a Business Tax Registration Certificate, a California seller's permit and an LA County health permit.
Should I bring printed bags to the LA Korean Festival?
If you sell there, yes. The park is open twelve hours a day for four days, and every bag carried around is seen by the crowd.
How long until my bags show up?
After you approve your logo layout, shipping is free and the boxes arrive 3 to 4 days after they leave.
