What to Look for in Takeaway Boxes
A takeaway box has to survive a journey, so the choices below matter more than the print.
- Style. Folded boxes with a tuck top, boxes with a carry handle, lid-and-tray boxes and trays with a sleeve each suit different meals. Pick the one that matches how the customer carries it, by hand, in a bag or in a delivery rider's box.
- Portion size. Measure the meal as it is packed, with the container or foil tray inside if you use one. The box should hold it without squeezing, and without so much empty space that the food slides around.
- Grease and moisture. Sauces, oil and steam soak into plain board. If your menu is wet or oily, tell us, and we confirm what protection against leaks and grease is possible for your project.
- Steam. A tightly sealed box keeps heat in but can make fried food soft. Ask about vents or a looser closure if your food should stay crisp.
- Closure. A box that pops open in a delivery bag costs you a refund. Check the closure on a sample, shake it, and stack two together.
Where Takeaway Boxes Are Used
- Restaurants and cafes that sell meals to go, from noodles and rice dishes to salads and sandwiches.
- Delivery kitchens that need a box that is easy to pack fast and holds up in a delivery bag.
- Food trucks and market stalls that want a branded box a customer carries away on foot.
- Caterers packing individual meals for offices, events or lunch orders.
Artwork and Printing Tips for Takeaway Boxes
- Put the logo on the top panel, where the box is seen when it sits on a counter or a table, and keep a short web address or social handle on a side panel.
- Keep text away from folds and edges: the box bends there and small lettering gets cut or hidden. Our free design support checks this against the layout before anything is made.
- A bold, simple pattern hides small scuffs from handling better than a pale flat color. Large solid areas show fingerprints more.
- If the box takes grease or steam, say so when you request a quote, because it can affect how colors and finishes look.
- Ask for the dieline when you request a quote, and design on that layout, not on a flat rectangle.
Planning Your Order
Start from the real meal: pack one portion exactly as you serve it and measure it. Think about where you will store the boxes, since folded boxes take room, and how many you use in a busy week so you do not run out. If you are unsure how to take the measurements, the measuring guide walks you through length, width and height.
Order a sample before a full run. A Standard Sample Kit is $50 with shipping included. The Samples page shows the other options, and your quote confirms pricing and minimums.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I order custom takeaway boxes?
Send your size, quantity, delivery location and artwork with a quote request. We prepare pricing based on the size, material, printing, finishing and quantity, and reply within 1 business day. After you approve the layout and artwork, the order goes into production.
How much do custom takeaway boxes cost?
Pricing depends on the size, quantity, material, printing and finishes. Request a quote and we will prepare pricing for your project.
How long does it take to get custom takeaway boxes?
Timing depends on the product, the size and the quantity, and it is confirmed with your quote. Production starts once your artwork is approved and payment is received. Delivery usually takes another 4–5 working days, depending on the carrier and your location, so a typical order arrives in about 2 weeks and larger orders take longer. See the turnaround guide.
What size takeaway box should I choose?
Choose the size from your packed portion, not from the food alone. Pack one real portion with its container or tray, measure the length, width and height, and send those numbers with your quote request. Our measuring guide shows how, and we confirm the size with you before production.
Can takeaway boxes hold hot or oily food?
It depends on the board and any lining, and we do not promise it without knowing your food. Tell us what goes in the box, how hot it is and how long it travels, and we confirm what is possible with your quote.
Will the box touch food directly?
Tell us if the food will touch the box, and we confirm suitable options for your project. If you pack food in its own container or liner first, mention that too.
Can I order a sample before a full order?
Yes. The Standard Sample Kit costs $50 with shipping included, and other sample types are on the Samples page. A sample lets you test the closure, the fit and the print before you place a larger order.
