Custom Food Boxes

What Are Custom Food Boxes?

Custom food boxes are tailor-made packaging solutions for your food items. These boxes are designed precisely to your food product’s dimensions and are custom-printed with your branding details. They are made using FDA-approved food-grade materials that are sourced from FSC-certified forests.

Why Businesses Choose Personalized Food Boxes?

Restaurants, food trucks, QSRs, kitchens, food franchises, deli stores, and other food businesses are now getting obsessed with our food box packaging. This is because these customized packaging boxes offer many advantages like:

• Extend shelf life and protect freshness
• Increase brand recognition at the point of delivery
• Improve food presentation and unboxing experience
• Build customer trust with visible food-safety compliance
• Reduce leakage, spillage, and grease damage during transport
• Promote your brand without extra advertising spend

Our Custom Food Product Boxes Are Made According to FDA & USDA Requirements

If you want to increase your food brand trustworthiness among customers, then you must pack your items inside our customized food boxes. These boxes are designed for food businesses to comply with USDA requirements. We help food companies to get their food product details like nutritional content, net weight quantity, ingredients, and much more printed on these boxes. By following these labeling requirements, you can easily show customers that you are being transparent with them and win their trust.

What Your Custom Printed Food Boxes Must Include?

As previously mentioned, if you want to sell your packaged food goods in the United States, then you must comply with USDA regulations. Food businesses often get confused about exactly what they need to include on their packaging. So, that is why we have decided to clear this confusion. Below you can find some of the most common labeling requirements.

• Product identity (food type/brand name)
• Net quantity statement
• Ingredient list
• Nutrition facts panel
• Manufacturer or distributor details
• Allergen information (where applicable)

Variety of Food-Grade Material Options

Food businesses require different packaging materials for their custom fast food boxes. Let’s say you sell burgers; then you can choose our paperboard material, while for packing pizzas you need to go for corrugated cardboard. To accommodate all your packaging requirements, we offer a variety of food-safe materials for our boxes. You can choose from:

The Right Coating for Food Protection

In our years of experience, we have noticed that food businesses often underestimate the power of coating. The coating is what brings the ultimate strength of your boxes.

For example, if you sell frozen food, then you can’t simply pack it inside plain cardboard boxes, as moisture can make your cardboard go bad. So, to pack your frozen food, you must use our frozen food boxes. These boxes come with a lamination or wax coating on top of them. This coating is designed to block moisture from getting in contact with your boxes. Other than that, we also provide different coating choices for your boxes.

Custom Sizes That Fit Every Food Item

Food businesses provide a variety of fresh and packaged food goods. Now every food item has a different shape and comes in different net weight quantities. From this its obvious that a single size box won’t be able to accommodate your food safe packaging needs. That is why we provide custom size options for our clients. Some of our best selling size options are mentioned below.
