Printed takeout boxes for burgers, fries, wraps, chicken and combo meals. Paperboard, kraft or corrugated, with vents so the food doesn’t go soggy, and your logo printed where people actually see it, on the table, in the car, on the doorstep.
Your time is very important to us so we have kept it short.
Steam is the enemy. A burger leaves the kitchen perfect, then sits fifteen minutes in a closed box on a driver’s back seat and turns into a limp, sweaty bun, and that’s really what custom fast food boxes are about fixing (that, and making sure your name is still on the box when somebody finally eats).
Burger joints order these from us, plus chicken shops and food trucks, ghost kitchens, a few small franchises. Most started on plain stock clamshells. They come to us annoyed about two things, soggy food and nobody remembering where it came from.
One box won’t cover a menu. Burgers? Clamshell, snug lid. Fries go in a scoop or tall carton, and wings in something deeper. If you do combos we’d honestly split it into a bigger tray or a two-part box, because we’ve seen what a fry carton does to a sandwich after ten minutes of sliding on top of it (and wraps, those just live in a narrow sleeve).
Our burger boxes and hot dog boxes handle the usual shapes. We can match the print across the lot, which matters more than you’d guess when a customer opens one bag with four different items in it.
You can’t have it both ways, not fully. Shut the lid tight and you keep the heat but you also keep every bit of steam, and fifteen minutes of that turns crispy fries into something sad, so what we do is punch a few small vent holes or slots up top and let some of that wet air escape. Fried food? Vents, always.
Then grease. Plain board drinks oil and goes see-through around a patty, looks awful, gets weaker too. We’d put a coating on the board or drop in a liner. And kraft (everyone loves the look, we get it) shows a grease spot faster than anything, so if you go kraft, go coated.
Delivery brings its own headache, which is stacking. Three meals piled in an insulated bag put all their weight on the bottom box, and a flimsy clamshell caves straight in on the food, so we’d go a slightly heavier board, or E-flute corrugated for big platters, and keep the lids flat because rounded tops slide around in the bag.
If delivery is a big chunk of your sales, our guide to corrugated boxes for food delivery businesses goes further into strength and sizing. Cups, trays and carriers are in the wider food and beverage packaging range.
Bold and simple wins on food boxes. Logo, your colors, maybe your Instagram handle or a QR code for reordering, that’s plenty. We print with soy-based and water-based inks. Our team sets up the dieline and lays out the design at no extra cost, you approve a digital proof, and if you want to test with real food first just ask for a physical sample.
Minimums are low, often around 50 boxes depending on the style, and the per-unit price drops as volume goes up. Production is usually 10 to 12 business days after you approve the proof, with free ground shipping across the USA. Tell us what’s on your menu and we’ll suggest boxes.
Uncoated kraft does, and pretty quickly. Coated kraft board or a paper liner keeps it clean.
Sure, it’s the first thing we’d add for a burger place. Two or three little slots and the bun survives the drive.
It can. We adapt the same artwork to each dieline, so burger box, fry carton and combo tray all match.
