About this product

Food Cartons

Food cartons have to do everything a retail carton does while also being safe against the product and indifferent to grease, condensation and freezer burn. We build them on food-grade virgin board with food-safe inks, and specify the barrier — grease-resistant coating, PE-free water-based barrier, or poly lining — around what the carton actually holds and how long it sits.

Bakery, pastry and confection cartons get window patches so the product sells itself, plus locking tabs that hold shut without tape while a customer carries them. Takeout formats get auto-bottom constructions that set up one-handed on a busy line and hold weight without sagging. Frozen cartons get coatings that keep print sharp through condensation and freezer cycling.

Because food packaging carries regulated information, we lay out nutrition panels, ingredient decks, allergen statements and date-code windows so they stay legible after lamination and survive the die cut. Date-code and lot panels are left uncoated so your inkjet actually adheres on the line.

Food cartons suit bakeries, restaurants, ghost kitchens, CPG food brands and anyone whose packaging touches the product. Free artwork in 24 hours, unlimited revisions, minimum order twelve. Get a quote for custom food cartons and tell us what goes inside — we’ll specify the barrier for you.

Auto-bottom cartons set up one-handed on a line that cannot stop to fold boxes.

Frozen & CPG food brands

Barrier coatings keep print and structure intact through cold chain, condensation and long shelf stays.
