Food Boxes

Food-Safe, Brand-Ready Packaging for Takeaway, Delivery & Retail

Selling hot meals, baked goods, or boxed snacks? The right packaging keeps food fresh, protects it in transit, and makes a strong first impression. We design our food boxes with that in mind — balancing function with branding. Whether you need something for quick takeaway orders or full-shelf product launches, we’ve got packaging that holds up and looks the part.

Types of Food Boxes We Offer

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Our food box range is built to suit different types of meals, business models, and brand styles:

• Cardboard Food Boxes – Durable, stackable, and perfect for dry food, meal kits, or retail snacks
• Food delivery boxes – Built to handle real-life mess: hot meals, saucy dishes, and the occasional bump in the road. We offer options that stay shut, stay clean, and make delivery easier for you and your customers.
• Eco-friendly packaging for Food – Want something recyclable or FSC®-certified? Just ask. We’ll tell you exactly which materials tick the right boxes — no greenwashing.
• Custom food boxes – Add your logo, ingredient panels, or brand colours inside and out. We’ll help you get the layout right so it looks good and prints clean.
• Boxes for Food Gifts or PR Kits – Available with windows, inserts, or seasonal finishes
• Customised Food Packaging for Events – Compact, branded, and easy to assemble for street food vendors or festivals

Need something specific? We can provide a dieline or food packaging design support to bring your idea to life.

Packaging That Works Harder for You

Good food packaging doesn’t just look nice — it makes operations smoother, enhances presentation, and reduces issues. Here’s how our boxes help:

• Protects food from moisture, impact, and handling
• Improves unboxing with smart structures and intuitive openings
• Prevents returns by avoiding leaks, smudging, or crushed meals
• Builds brand loyalty with custom print, finishes, and thoughtful touches
• Supports your image through colour-matched design and quality feel

Food Safety & Compliance

All our food boxes are manufactured using food-grade, low-migration inks and materials compliant with EU Regulation 1935/2004 and UK Food Contact Materials (FCM) Standards. Whether your product has direct or indirect contact with the box, we’ll guide you to the right stock and finish to meet safety requirements.

We do not use plastic or wax coatings unless specifically required. If you’re unsure about food contact classification, just ask — our team knows food packaging inside and out.

Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Options

We offer multiple material options to support your environmental goals:

• FSC®-certified boards available on request
• Recyclable or compostable stocks (no lamination unless needed)
• Vegetable- or water-based inks where suitable

Not every box is certified, but we’ll tell you exactly what is — no vague “eco” claims here.

Printing Methods & Upload Privacy

We offer:

• Digital printing – Great for small runs, quick turnarounds, or seasonal promotions
• Offset printing – Best for high-volume orders with consistent colour and detail

If you’re submitting print ready artwork, all files are treated as confidential. Your designs are securely stored and used only for your approved production. We do not share or reuse assets — your intellectual property stays yours.
