Santa Monica · restaurant bags
Santa Monica took plastic out of takeout years ago. Your bag should match.
Since 2019, every to-go order in Santa Monica leaves in packaging that isn't plastic, bioplastic or aluminum. When everyone's packaging is paper, the bag with a logo on it is the one people remember.

Santa Monica moved early. Here's where it landed.
- Disposable food service ware
Food and beverage providers in Santa Monica may not hand out plastic (#1 to 6), bioplastic (#7/PLA) or aluminum disposable food service ware for prepared food and drinks.
Your to-go packaging has to be made of other materials, like paper or fiber.
Source · City of Santa Monica, Disposable Food Service Ware Ordinance - One of the first
Santa Monica was one of the first cities to ban polystyrene food containers, in 2007, and expanded the rules to all single-use plastics for prepared food starting January 1, 2019.
Customers here notice packaging more than most.
Source · City of Santa Monica press release, Aug 15 2018 - Straws and utensils on request
The same ordinance requires straws and utensils to be given to customers only when they ask.
Pack the bag lean: food, napkins if asked, nothing extra.

Checked 2026-11-12. Rules change, so confirm with your city or county before you rely on them.
When every order is paper, plain looks like everyone else
Santa Monica's rules pushed every restaurant toward the same materials. That's good for the bay, and it also means a lot of takeout here looks alike: brown paper, brown fiber, no name.
Your logo on the bag is the fastest way out of that sea of brown. Same rules as everyone else, but the customer walking down the block knows exactly where the food came from.
Paper fits the rule, and the customer
The city's list covers plastic, bioplastic and aluminum service ware. Paper isn't on it. A kraft bag sits comfortably inside the rules, and it feels right to customers who have watched the city lead on this since 2007.
In a city that cared about packaging first, a thoughtful bag says you care too.
Pack lean, then let the bag talk
Straws and utensils only go in when someone asks. So the order is your food, your containers and your bag. Make the bag the part that carries your brand.
Seafood and grill orders can run heavy. Our bag carries 22 lb by its flat paper handles, so a full family order goes home in one trip.

When did these rules start?
