A takeout food box is where a restaurant brand travels. Long after the meal, the box that carried it either reinforced the brand or looked like a generic clamshell, and with delivery now a huge share of orders, that package is doing real marketing on a lot of doorsteps and desks. It has to hold hot food, survive the trip, and look like you.
Grease resistant printed paperboard is the workhorse: it keeps noodles, rice, wings, or a full entree contained without leaking, and full color print turns delivery into brand exposure. Choose a tuck top carton, a folded pail with a handle, a window box, or a leak resistant style, and add ventilation to keep fried food crisp and steam from going soggy. Food grade materials keep it safe for direct contact.
We make custom takeout food boxes in your size and style with no minimum order, so a restaurant, food truck, or ghost kitchen can brand its menu without a huge run, at the best price. Tell us the dishes and portion sizes and we will spec the boxes and quote them.
