Start with the menu and service style

Describe the food item, portion size and space it needs inside the box. Note whether orders are eaten on site, carried away or sent with a delivery driver. Those details help set the internal size and flag practical needs such as a lid, divider or separate place for a side item.

Check contact, coating and handling needs

If the box or an inner surface will touch food, state the food type, temperature and expected contact time and ask for written confirmation that the proposed material is suitable for that use. Mention oil, moisture, steam or stacking if they matter; do not assume a barrier or performance level from the product name. The Food Standards Agency explains that packaging and other food-contact materials are subject to controls.

Details for a takeaway-box brief

  • Food item, portion size and packed dimensions
  • Hot, chilled or room-temperature service
  • Food-contact, grease or moisture requirements
  • Lid, divider, liner or cut-out request
  • Artwork, quantity and delivery postcode

Make the environmental wording precise

Before describing an environmental benefit in customer-facing copy, identify which part of the pack the statement covers, the conditions required and the disposal route available to customers. Ask for current supporting evidence and clear disposal instructions. A material name alone does not establish how a finished, printed or coated box should be disposed of.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are food boxes used for?

Food boxes are used for takeaway meals, snacks and catering. Tell us what you serve and we will suggest the right box.

Which board is used for food boxes?

There is no single board grade for all specifications of Biodegradable Food Boxes. Tell us what will go inside and how it will be stored, displayed or shipped; the selected grade is confirmed against that brief.

Can I print my restaurant name on food boxes?

Yes, your name and logo can be printed in full colour (CMYK) or single colour.

Do food boxes need a grease liner?

Share the food type, temperature and how long it will stay in the pack. The board and any barrier need to be checked for that use, and microwave or heat use should only be considered if the final specification explicitly confirms it.

Can food boxes be used for catering?

Yes, food boxes suit catering. Share the number of boxes and the food type for a quote.

Are food boxes food-safe?

A packaging name alone does not establish food-contact suitability. Tell us what the pack will hold and whether food touches the inside; the full material specification and any supporting documents need to be confirmed before use.

Can I order food boxes in a window design?

A window can be considered if the chosen structure allows it. Tell us what should be visible and whether the pack has any food-contact requirement; the cut-out, film and placement are confirmed against the final specification.

How long does it take to get food boxes?

Timing depends on the chosen structure, print and quantity. The quote confirms the production window after artwork and specification approval; delivery timing is checked against the destination.
