Product Overview

Folded Carton Food Boxes are one-piece, die-cut paperboard packaging solutions designed for fast food chains, pizza shops, bakeries, food trucks, ghost kitchens, and retail deli counters. They are ideal for burgers, fries, sandwiches, pastries, pizza, snacks, and prepared meals that require quick packing, grease resistance, stable stacking, and reliable shelf presentation.
The glue-free folded structure allows fast manual assembly with no tape or adhesive required, helping reduce labor costs by up to 60%, while precision score lines ensure clean folds and consistent box geometry. Produced from kraft board, SBS white board, or CCNB board with water-based dispersion barriers or PE coatings, the range supports FDA 21 CFR 176.170, EU EC 1935/2004, FSC® certification, ISO 22000, BRCGS Packaging, HACCP, and KIT Level 6–12 grease resistance testing for domestic foodservice and export packaging programs.

Key Product Features

Fast Glue-Free Assembly

One-piece die-cut construction with self-locking tabs enables quick fold-and-lock assembly without glue, tape, or adhesive, helping reduce packing labor costs by up to 60%.

Grease-Resistant Food Protection

Water-based or PE grease-resistant barriers provide KIT Level 6–12 oil resistance, helping prevent oil penetration from burgers, fries, fried chicken, pastries, and prepared meals.

Reinforced Stacking Strength

Reinforced corner construction resists crushing under stacking loads of up to 15 kg, supporting stable storage, takeaway handling, delivery transport, and shelf presentation.

Space-Saving Flat-Pack Design

Boxes are shipped flat-packed to reduce shipping and storage volume by up to 80%, improving logistics efficiency for restaurants, distributors, cloud kitchens, and large foodservice operations.

Sustainable Paperboard Options

FSC-certified fiber, recyclable paperboard, PFAS-free water-based barriers, and unbleached kraft options support responsible packaging choices, with up to 40% less material than comparable corrugated alternatives.

Foodservice Workflow Compatibility

Designed for standard foodservice operations, the boxes can be paired with paper wraps, tissue liners, and compartment inserts, and are compatible with auto-erection machines for high-volume packing lines.
