Custom Food Boxes

Custom Food Packaging for Restaurants, Retail & Food Brands

Do you want to protect your food’s freshness, flavor, aroma, and quality from moisture, contaminants, and dust? Use custom food boxes. They are designed to package, protect, and display food items in a secure and food-safe manner. Whether it is takeout meals, frozen foods, or gourmet products, these custom boxes will help you create a memorable customer experience.

They are made from FDA-compliant and sustainable materials, including paper-based, corrugated, rigid, plastic, and film packaging materials. All of them are infused with grease-, leak-, and moisture-resistant properties. At My Box Printing, you can choose from custom sizes, closures, printing, and finishes.

Benefits of Custom Boxes in the Food Industry

Brands should opt for non-toxic materials that keep the food fresh and aromatic. They help protect food products from handling, external exposure (dust, heat, and air), grease, moisture, and physical damage. With custom boxes, you can print logos & taglines and transform them into branded packaging.

Restaurants, food trucks, and confectionery brands can keep up with regulatory compliance for their food boxes with custom labels. These can showcase product ingredients, nutritional facts, allergens, and more. One of the best things about these boxes is the sustainability option. Brands can minimize environmental waste by using recyclable cardboard, Kraft, and more.

Food Packaging and Labeling Considerations

There are two US-based agencies that ensure legal packaging and labeling: the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) and USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture).

The following are the necessary labels that you should include on your boxes:

• Product identification

• Food allergens

• Nutritional panel

• Net quantity of contents

• Barcodes & QR codes

• Manufacturing and expiry date

• Business information (name, address, contact, distributor, etc)

• Labels & Stickers

Note. Not all food packaging requires all mentioned types of labeling; it can vary as per the product. We include only the necessary labels for different food items.

Choose Durable & Food-Safe Material for Custom Food Boxes

It is very important that the material does not compromise the quality of the food by leaking harmful substances into it. You can pair sweet, savory, and citrusy food products with our eco-friendly food packaging.

They protect the food from moisture, grease, and damage. Whether you are serving hot meals, frozen foods, or gourmet treats, use our materials.

Paper-Based Materials

Plastic & Film Material

Note: The best food-box material depends on what you are packaging. Dry snacks may need a different board than greasy takeaway meals. On the other hand, frozen or warm-food applications require materials and coatings suited to their specific conditions.

Popular Food Box Styles

There are a wide number of box styles you can try for functional and presentable food boxes. We have the following style options:

• Tuck Top Boxes: A flap that folds down and securely tucks into the front panel, best for snacks, retail foods, and takeaway items.

Custom Die-Cutting and Functional Features

Custom die-cutting allows you to add windows, handles, ventilation openings, unique shapes, and structural features to your food boxes. The transparent window cutouts let customers peek into the boxes at the products. A lock bottom and tuck top box securely hold heavy food items within the box, such as takeout meals, without any tape due to the tuck-style locking system.

You can choose to compartmentize the box with cardboard dividers, which can include an array of food items. Brands can get a durable and functional box style with different handles, custom inserts, and unique box shapes.

Custom Printed Food Boxes With Your Logo

If you want to enhance your branding, custom food boxes with logo and slogan are the best option. Our flexographic and offset printing can print consistent, high-resolution images and logos for bulk orders.

Whether you need vibrant custom treat boxes, minimalistic takeout boxes, or thematic popcorn containers, we have them all. You can pick food-safe inks from water-based to soy- and vegetable-based, and essential color schemes (CMYK & PMS).

Complete Your Custom Food Packaging with Wrapping Papers, Liners, and Inserts

Do you want to keep your food fresh and flavorful? Use our custom food papers. They can provide an additional layer for managing grease and moisture while supporting food presentation and handling. You can wrap the product directly with butter, wax, parchment, or butcher paper.

As for packaging, use them as packaging inserts that prevent delicate items from getting scratched or damaged. Want to impress your customers with premium gift packaging? Custom tissue, glassine, and kraft paper can create an elegant unboxing experience.
