Fast food takeout boxes are built for speed and volume, the boxes and cartons a busy kitchen fills in seconds and a customer carries out the door. They have to hold up to grease and heat, stack without crushing, and open easily with one hand, so we build them in food grade board with a grease resistant liner and a shape that fits burgers, fries, wings, wraps, and combos. Print your logo and brand colors full color so every order that leaves the counter carries the brand down the street and onto social feeds. Kraft reads fresh and natural, white board takes the brightest print. Because they ship flat and assemble fast, they keep a high volume line moving. There is no minimum, so a single truck or a growing chain can order a run that fits demand. Send your menu items and portion sizes and we will spec the boxes.

Takeout box specification
A takeout box is filled in seconds by someone who is busy and carried out by someone using one hand. Grease, heat and stacking are the three things that decide the build.
| Sizing | Shaped to the food, so burgers, fries, wings, wraps and combos each get a die that fits. Send what goes in each box and roughly how much. |
|---|---|
| Board | Food grade throughout, in kraft or white. Heavier or wetter food wants a heavier caliper than you would guess from the size alone. |
| Grease resistance | A grease-resistant liner or coating, which is the single most important spec here. Without it, oil marks through the board and onto the customer inside ten minutes. |
| Heat and venting | Vented designs let steam escape so fries and anything fried do not go soft on the drive home. Tell us how long the food usually travels. |
| Stacking | Built to stack without crushing, because that is how they sit on a busy pass and in a delivery bag. |
| One-hand opening | Worth designing for. A box a customer has to put down to open is the one that gets complained about. |
| Printing | Full color with your logo and brand colors. |
| Minimum order | None. Order the quantity you can actually move. If you are holding a written quote from someone else, send it over and we will work to beat it. |
| Production time | Standard runs are 7 to 14 business days. Print method and finishing move that. |
| Proof and samples | Free design and a free digital proof before anything prints. Samples on request. |
| Shipping | Free, with tracking. |
What to send us for a quote
Three things get you a real number rather than a range:
- What goes in each box. List the menu items and we will spec a range rather than one compromise box.
- Typical delivery time. That decides venting and coating.
- Artwork, or the restaurant name. Design is free.
