What Are Food Packaging Boxes?
Food packaging boxes are sturdy or semi-sturdy containers we make specifically to hold and carry food safely from where it is prepared until it reaches the customer. We see them used in restaurants, takeaway spots, food delivery services, bakeries, meal kit businesses, and catering companies.
Food Boxes with Logo
You Add your logo, colours, artwork, and branding directly to every box for a more professional presentation. You can select matte, gloss, or foil finishes based on your preferred style. Before production begins, we provide a complimentary digital mockup so you can see how your packaging will look.
Get Food Safe Material Options
Not every food product needs the same packaging. Here you an get a range of food safe materials so you can match the box to your product:
- Kraft paper — lightweight, affordable, and naturally biodegradable; ideal for bakery items, sandwiches, and dry snacks.
- Cardboard — sturdier structure for items that need extra shape retention, like pastry boxes or gift-style food packaging.
- Corrugated cardboard — added strength and cushioning for shipping, heavier items, or products going through ecommerce fulfillment.
All materials are printed with water-based, chemical-free inks so nothing transfers to your food.
Food Safety Compliance
We understand that food safety isn’t just a preference it is a compliance requirement. Our packaging is manufactured with attention
to the standards that matter for food-contact materials, including:
- Food Contact Substances (FCS) compliance
- Food Contact Notifications (FCN) standards
- Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) materials
This means your packaging is designed to meet the safety standards that both regulators and health-conscious customers expect.
Uses for Takeaway, Restaurant & Ecommerce Businesses
Custom food packaging works differently depending on how it reaches the customer:
- Restaurants and takeaway — Grease resistant, leak proof boxes that hold up during delivery and keep hot food contained.
- Retail and grocery — shelf-ready packaging with strong visual branding to stand out among competitors.
- Food ecommerce and shipping — reinforced corrugated options that protect products across long-distance shipping, with insert options to prevent shifting in transit.
Box Styles & Shapes
We manufacture custom printed food boxes in a wide range of styles and shapes so you can match the packaging format to your product and use case:
Popular Styles:
- Pizza Boxes
- Gable Boxes

Grease-Resistant Packaging Options
For fried, oily, or high-fat foods, standard packaging can weaken and leak. Our grease-resistant boxes use treated Kraft or coated cardboard that holds its shape and blocks oil from soaking through keeping your packaging presentable from kitchen to customer, whether it’s a pizza box, fried food container, or bakery box holding buttery pastries.
Sizes
We manufacture custom boxes with logo in a full range of sizes, from single-serve snack boxes to bulk catering containers. Provide your product dimensions and we’ll help you choose or design from scratch a size that fits your product with minimal wasted space, keeping shipping costs down and presentation tight.
Printing Options
Every box can be printed with your logo, product information, or full custom artwork. Available options include:
- Full-color CMYK or Pantone-matched printing
- Matte or gloss finish
- Foil stamping and embossing for premium branding
- Water-based, food-safe inks on all designs
Inserts
For products that need extra protection or presentation like bakery assortments, gift-style food boxes, or fragile items we offer custom inserts that hold items in place, prevent shifting during transport, and add a premium unboxing feel for ecommerce orders.
