Food and Takeaway Packaging

Packaging That Matches the Way You Cook

A takeaway box has a short but demanding life. It is folded in a hurry during the rush, filled with food that is hot, oily or saucy, carried across a car park or strapped to a delivery bike, and then opened at a kitchen table where it becomes the first thing a customer sees of your brand. The right style depends less on what looks nice in a catalogue and more on what goes inside it.

Dry, crisp food such as fried chicken or chips wants a box with some venting so the coating stays crunchy. Wet dishes like curry, noodles and soup need a closed pail or bowl that will not weep at the seams. Stacked burgers need height and a lid that locks. That is why this range runs from flat open paper food trays for street food through to tall clamshells and lidded pails, so you can match each menu item to a shape that suits it.

Burgers, Pizza and Hot Food Boxes

Burger boxes are the busiest corner of the range. Single patties and sliders fit a small clamshell, while a double with all the extras needs the deeper wall of a tall box. If you sell meal deals, a combined burger and chip box keeps both in one carton and saves the counter staff a second pack.

Pizza boxes are made from corrugated board, because the flutes trap air and keep the base warm without letting steam turn the lid soggy. We cut them square, round or octagonal, from personal sizes up to party pizzas, and they can be printed in one dark ink on kraft or full colour on white. For shops that sell by the slice, single slice pizza boxes keep a portion neat for walk-in trade.

Trays, Bags and Containers for Street Food

Not every dish needs a lid. Food vans, festival stalls and market traders often serve in open trays and boats, which are quicker to fill and easier to eat from standing up. Four-corner and foot-lock trays fold flat for storage and stand firm once assembled, and double wall trays add strength for heavier portions such as loaded fries.

For collection and delivery, printed paper bags carry several boxes at once and give your logo a second outing on the walk home. Lunch counters and sandwich shops tend to pair a branded bag with a window wedge or a long baguette sandwich box, so the filling stays visible right up to the moment of purchase.

Printing, Sizes and Food Contact

Every box is made to the internal size you need, measured in millimetres, so food sits snugly rather than sliding into a corner. Most takeaway customers print one or two bold inks, which keeps costs down and reads clearly from across a counter. Full colour is available for brands that want photography or a pattern across the lid.

Grease-resistant coatings are available for oily dishes. Tell us what the packaging will hold and we specify food-contact grade board, paper and inks for it in your custom quote. If you are not sure which board or coating suits a particular item, tell us what you serve and how long it spends in the box, and we will suggest a combination in your custom quote. You can also start from a familiar shape such as our printed burger boxes and adjust the size from there.
