Custom Food Containers

Custom takeaway boxes, handled cartons and paper meal containers for prepared foods and specialty-food applications, reviewed against temperature, barrier, closure and transport needs.

Product specification

See the format from every working angle.

Capacity alone does not define a food pack. We also review fill temperature, dwell time, grease or moisture exposure, closure behaviour and how the pack is carried to destination.

Flat structure drawing

The representative flat line drawing uses a handled gable carton to show body panels, glue seam, base locks, top closure and handle openings.

Concept linework for format discussion. Production dielines are issued after dimensions, material and closure are approved.

Project questions

Clear answers before the brief.

Which details determine the right food-container material?: Food type, fill temperature, hold time, grease or moisture exposure and whether the surface directly contacts food all affect the material specification.
Can you match an existing container size?: We can begin from a physical container, dieline or dimensional specification and confirm closure, stacking and product fit before production.
Can takeaway packaging be tested for delivery?: Yes. Closure, venting, stacking and handling can be reviewed with representative contents and the expected delivery journey.
Are custom capacities available?: Yes. Capacity, headspace and footprint can be adjusted, subject to structure, tooling, production method and order quantity.
