Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose a clamshell over a parcel-style burger box?

Clamshells have a hinged lid attached to the base that closes in one motion, which speeds up a busy line and suits counter service. Parcel boxes have a separate tuck or lock lid that sits tighter and protects better in delivery bags. If most of your orders go out through apps, a parcel style usually arrives in better shape. Our clamshell vs parcel burger box guide compares both in detail.

Do window burger boxes trap steam and make the bun soggy?

A window adds a clear film panel that shows the burger, and like any closed box it holds some steam. For hot burgers, keep the window small and on the lid, and add vent holes if the item travels. Window boxes perform best for counter displays, cold sandwiches and dessert burgers. Vents can be added to any window design at the proof stage, so raise it when you send artwork.

How do foldable burger boxes arrive, and how long do they take to assemble?

Foldable boxes ship flat, which saves a lot of storage space in a small kitchen. Most styles lock together in a few seconds with tabs and need no glue or tape. New staff usually get quick after folding a dozen or so. If speed matters at peak hours, fold a batch before the lunch rush and keep them nested by the line, ready to fill.

What are burger liners and wraps for if I already have a box?

Liners and wraps sit between the food and the box. A greaseproof liner keeps oil off the box floor, and a printed wrap holds a burger together so it can be eaten by hand without falling apart. Many shops also use branded wraps on their own for basket service. Both can be printed with your logo or a repeat pattern, and both use food-safe inks.

What does a burger and chip box hold, and what size is typical?

A burger and chip box has a wide floor or two compartments, so a burger and a portion of fries travel together without the fries crushing the bun. Our typical size is 8x5x2.5 inches, though every dimension can be customized. It suits combo meals and kids' meals, and it cuts down the number of separate containers handed over the counter with each order.

How is frozen patty packaging different from a hot takeaway box?

Frozen patty packaging has to handle cold storage, condensation and stacking in a freezer, so it usually needs sturdier board with a moisture-resistant coating rather than a grease-resistant one. It also carries more printed information, such as product name, weight and cooking directions. Tell us how many patties go in each box, how they are stacked and whether they are sold at retail or wholesale.

What are inserts used for inside a burger box?

Inserts are cardboard dividers or cradles that hold items in place inside a larger box. In burger packaging they are most common in gift boxes, catering boxes and multi-burger packs, where they keep sliders upright and separate sides from the mains. An insert can also lift a burger off a greasy floor. Each insert is cut to your box size so nothing shifts in transit.

Are burger sleeves enough on their own, or do they need a box underneath?

A sleeve is a printed band that slides around a box, tray or wrapped burger. On its own it works for wrapped sandwiches eaten on the spot. For takeaway, most restaurants pair a plain kraft box with a branded sleeve, which lets them keep one box size and change sleeve designs for promotions. Sleeves are an inexpensive way to brand packaging you already stock.

Which box types work best for single-use disposable service?

For single-use service, the most common picks are paperboard clamshells, kraft parcel boxes and paper food trays, because they are light, fold flat and can be recycled where local programs accept food-contact paper. Bagasse is another option if you want a plant-fiber container. Polystyrene is still offered but is restricted in some US areas. Match the type to how long the food sits inside it.

What is the minimum order for each box type?

Every box type starts at 100 units and from $0.20 per unit, so you can test a new style without a large commitment. The unit price drops as quantity rises, and the final figure depends on size, material, print and finish. If you order two types, such as clamshells and liners, each one meets the 100-unit minimum on its own. Send your types and quantities for an exact quote.
