Or something in-between. It depends.
These paper bags usually carry one or two sub sandwiches. They are pretty small, but people prefer to get their food in a bag that looks relatively unsquished. Most of the time a messenger-type bag is the perfect tool. Lunch rushes would routinely see 6 - 8 bag runs, which would just barely fit in my bag without squishing. During particularly busy times, I wished I had the option to experiment with something bigger.
