Designed to Preserve Food Quality, Ensure Delivery Safety, and Enhance Brand Experience

Engineered for hot meals, long-distance delivery, and brand-first impressions.
Custom cardboard to-go boxes are carefully designed to address the top challenges in food packaging: maintaining product integrity, controlling moisture, preventing leaks, and creating a positive unboxing experience.

Food Protection and Heat Retention

Grease-resistant inner layers prevent oil soak-through from burgers, rice, noodles, or fried items
Steam-release vent holes avoid sogginess in crispy foods like fries or fried chicken
Tight-fold locking lids trap heat and reduce airflow, keeping food warm without fogging

Leak-Proof and Transport-Ready Construction

Tab-locked or flap-sealed structures prevent accidental openings during bike, car, or courier delivery
Strong side walls and base reinforcement support heavier meals or combo portions without collapsing
One-hand carry design supports pickup, hand-off, and customer handling with minimal mess

Branded Experience in Every Box

Custom print surfaces showcase logos, taglines, social handles, or sustainability commitments
Matte or textured kraft finishes give an organic, artisan feel for natural or healthy food positioning
Optional interior printing offers room for QR menus, customer notes, or marketing inserts

This design ensures your take-out packaging is more than a delivery vessel—it becomes an extension of your food quality and brand promise.

Materials and Finishes That Combine Food Safety, Strength, and Eco Responsibility

Certified substrates and clean coatings—safe for food, built for business.
When packaging comes into direct contact with food, material quality matters. Our cardboard to-go boxes are crafted using food-grade certified paperboard, engineered for contact safety, performance under heat and moisture, and compliance with global environmental standards.

Safe & Strong Material Choices

Material Type	Characteristics & Typical Applications
Food-Grade White Paperboard	PE/PLA/PP lined or coated for oily, wet, or saucy dishes; ideal for full-color branding
Natural Kraft Paperboard	Unbleached, rustic appearance; popular for organic, eco, or artisanal food branding
Black Food-Grade Board	High-contrast luxury presentation for premium foodservice or dessert packaging
E-Flute Corrugated Kraft	For larger or heavier meal kits; supports stacking during delivery

All paperboard options are available in FSC-certified, recyclable, and compostable formats, depending on your sustainability targets.

Lining & Coating Options for Performance & Compliance

PE Coating: Oil-resistant and cost-effective for greasy foods (not compostable)
PLA Coating: Compostable bioplastic coating suitable for green-certified packaging
Water-Based Barrier Coating: Plant-derived and recyclable; plastic-free solution
Anti-Scratch Matte or Gloss Finish: Maintains visual appeal during stacking and hand-off
Food-Safe Inks: Soy-based or low-VOC for external branding and internal print messages

These materials and coatings ensure your packaging is safe for consumption, compliant with health regulations, and aligned with the values of environmentally conscious consumers.
