Custom food boxes let a food brand package exactly what it makes, in a box built for that product rather than a stock size that almost fits. Whether it is a bakery item, a takeout meal, a snack, or a gourmet gift, we build the box food safe, in the style the food needs, a tuck top carton, a gable box with a handle, a window box, or a takeout container with a locking lid. We use food grade materials and match the coating to the job, so anything warm or greasy gets a grease resistant liner. Print your logo and menu full color, in kraft for a natural look or white for bright branding. There is no minimum, so a new cafe or a home kitchen can order a run that fits its volume and reorder as it grows. Send your product and portion size and we will spec the box. Related: food boxes.

What custom food boxes have to handle
Food packaging carries more rules and more stress than most products. It has to be food safe, it has to hold up to grease, moisture, heat, or cold depending on what is inside, and it still has to look good enough to build a brand. We build to the food first, then to the shelf, so the box protects the product and sells it at the same time.
Grease, moisture, and food safe stock
The material is the first decision. For greasy or hot items we use food grade board with a grease resistant liner. For cold or moist items we spec coatings that hold up without going soggy. Everything that touches food uses food safe inks and coatings, and we tell you plainly what is and is not safe for direct contact.
Structures for every food format
Common builds include tuck end cartons for bakery and dry goods, auto bottom boxes for heavier takeout, gable and handled boxes for grab and go, trays and sleeves for pastries, and window boxes when the food should sell itself. Tell us the item and we recommend the structure that protects it and travels well.
Print and branding
Food brands live and die on shelf appeal, so we print full color inside and out, and can add matte or gloss, spot gloss, or a clean kraft look for a natural product. A window, a custom die cut, or a printed inside panel turns a plain box into something a customer photographs.
Ordering, samples, and price
There is no minimum order, so a small kitchen or a new food brand can start small and scale. Design is free, samples are free, and we price match any comparable written quote. Send the food item, the format, and a quantity, and we come back with a dieline, a 3D mockup, and a price the same day.
