Start with how the food is served

Describe the food, portion, temperature, contact conditions and whether it is served at a counter, delivered or displayed. Those details help identify which formats and material questions need checking.

Verify the material for the intended use

For any food-contact pack, request confirmation that the selected specification is suitable for the exact food and conditions. Recyclability or compostability should only be stated when supported by the final material details and the collection route relevant to the customer.

Information for the food-packaging brief

  • Food type, portion size and service temperature
  • Direct or secondary contact and any barrier need
  • Serving, takeaway or delivery route
  • Material evidence, artwork and quantity requirements

Agree claims and specifications before print

Share the evidence your business needs and have the final material and printed statements confirmed before approval. Price and delivery are set out in the quote for the chosen format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which food can go in sustainable food boxes?

Sustainable food boxes suit takeaway meals, snacks and bakery items. Tell us your food and we will suggest a box.

Are sustainable food boxes compostable?

Environmental wording should match the finished pack. If recyclability, recycled content or compostability matters, include it in the brief so the chosen board, finishes and any certification can be checked.

Do sustainable food boxes need a grease liner?

For hot, oily or damp food, describe the serving and storage conditions before choosing a pack. A liner or coating is not assumed to be included; suitability and any added cost are confirmed for the exact specification.

Which board is used for sustainable food boxes?

The board grade for Sustainable Food Packaging depends on the finished dimensions, contents and how the pack will be handled. Share the item weight and use; the proposed grade and any liner are confirmed in the written quote.

Can I print my eco message on the food box?

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

Is the box food-safe?

The answer depends on the complete pack, not just the paperboard. Share the food-contact conditions so the board, printing and any barrier or liner can be checked together for the chosen specification.

Can I order sustainable food boxes for a café?

Yes, they suit cafés and takeaways. Share your menu and we will suggest sizes.

How long does it take to get sustainable 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.
