    Running a food business in the UK is one of the most profitable businesses, but this business comes with its unique challenges. Food texture and temperature retention are among the major challenges that brands face. These challenges can be countered by investment in custom food boxes. 

    Your packaging is far more than a simple tool to pack the product. It is a way of showing the customers your brand value and professional expertise. By opting for the custom box manufacturing services of our company, you can get the best boxes. Our food packaging boxes are diverse and have several advantages for brands, such as:

    • Free of cost brand promotion
    • Unique market presentation
    • High return on investment
    • Quality product protection
    • Sustainability
    • MHRA and FSC compliance

    Why Shift To Sustainable Food Packaging?

    Due to the ongoing wave of climate change, it has become crucial to invest in packaging that is sustainable. Sustainable packaging reduces the carbon footprint of your brand and also helps you keep your food items free from contamination.

    There are so many climate-conscious people in the UK, and you certainly do not want to lose them just because of your synthetic and plastic-based edible product packaging. We have one of the finest quality paper-based materials that keeps the packed items intact and gives you an edge over your competitors.

    Sustainable Material Selection

    For custom food boxes packaging, we use paper-based materials that are obtained from virgin wood fibres. Aside from this, we have the option of recycled material to reduce the overall cost of the packaging. Our company uses advanced manufacturing facilities that help in the perfect processing of materials in a short duration. The major box categories are based on the materials that we have, as follows:

    • Cardboard food boxes (commonly used as burger boxes)
    • Kraft food boxes (commonly used as sandwich boxes)
    • Cardboard food boxes (used as pizza boxes)
    • Rigid food boxes (come in a luxury range and are used as truffle packaging)

    Kraft Cardboard

    This is a popular choice in the UK food sector due to its sustainable and recyclable nature. Kraft boxes have a natural brown colour that creates a rustic and organic look. Sustainable food brands can go with this packaging material and get a packaging that resonates with their brands. From artisan bakeries to independent cafes, all need Kraft packaging material for the best food presentation.

    White Paperboard

    When brands need retail packaging for food items, white paper is a remarkable option. This material has a smooth surface that supports high-end printed designs and vibrant brand colours. Businesses can select this material for sharp logos and detailed graphics for premium food packaging for retail purposes.

    Corrugated Board

    This material adds strength and insulation. Corrugated boxes for food items allow hot deliveries and secure long-distance transport. Many UK delivery kitchens use corrugated packaging for meal kits and large takeaway boxes.

    Food Safe Printing For Brand Promotion And Information Provision

    No matter how much effort you put into improving the quality of your food, it is vital to enhance the overall quality of the packaging as well. This is because your packaging is the first thing with which the customers interact. Using branded food packaging can be an excellent promotional tool and increase your brand’s awareness. We have multiple printing options that allow the brands to get the best designs. Some of the printing methods that we have are as follows:

    Offset Printing 

    This printing is one of the best printing processes that is used when high-end designs with accuracy are required. The offset printing method uses printing plates that give precise designs in the lowest possible time.

    Screen Printing 

    Brands that need small orders with vibrant and simple designs can select screen printing. This is a comparatively slow process that uses metallic stencils to deliver design to the food packaging boxes.

    Digital Printing 

    This printing method is used when a small order in a short duration is required. Digital printing is an economical option for short runs while also giving high-end designs with accuracy.

    Flexography 

    When it comes to the production of large runs in simple designs, the flexography is the best option. Flexography uses flexible printing plates and is the best method for flexible materials. Even if you need custom shipping boxes for food delivery, you can select the flexography method for low rates and convenient product time.

    Different printing methods have different design qualities and colour vibrancy. Aside from this, the quantity of the packaging is also one of the major contributors to deciding which colour is the best option. You can select the printing options by booking a free consultation with our designers.

    We truly believe that the inks used in the manufacturing of custom food boxes with a logo must be selected from food-grade inks. Therefore, we give you the following ink options that are free from any kind of toxin:

    • Vegetable-based inks
    • Algae inks
    • Water-based inks

    Our company only uses inks with specific E numbers that are considered food safe. You can get your boxes printed with relevant information about the product. This will build your brand’s trust with the customers and help you gain maximum sales.

    BPA Free Coatings 

    As a food boxes wholesale provider, we make sure that there is not a single aspect of the packaging that is ordinary. That is why we apply custom coatings on the boxes. These coatings protect the paper-based materials from sogginess. In addition to this, we apply a coating to protect the printing designs from scuffing. Some of the options that we have for our customers are as follows:

    • Gloss coating
    • Met coating
    • Aqueous coating
    • Silk screen
    • UV coatings

    Add-Ons For A Premium Outlook

    Add-ons have the ability to turn simple packaging into an exponential promotional tool that immensely enhances the perceived value of the packaging. You can select any add-on that goes with the theme of your brand. We have aesthetic as well as functional add-ons. Our add-ons enhance the overall value of your food by making your personalised food packaging a catchy addition to your brand, such as:

    • Handles make it easy to hold the boxes
    • Die-cut windows allow you to see what’s inside the box without opening the packaging
    • Embossing and debossing raise typography for a more luxurious look
    • Inserts keep the packed food in one place

    Common Food Box Styles And Their Uses

    From cafes to bakeries and catering brands, all need packaging to serve their edible items. Each type of eatery has different packaging style requirements. The style for takeaway boxes can never be the same as that for in-house dining packaging. That is why our company gives multiple box styles that fulfil the requirements of all types of food sellers.

    Box Style Main Usage Key Feature Best For Packaging Benefit

    Right Packaging For Perfect Food Preservation 

    As discussed earlier, different brands need different packaging styles. But to identify what is the best option, brands need to ask themselves several questions. This is because the best packaging solution depends on several factors:

    • Type of food being packaged
    • Required heat retention
    • Delivery distance
    • Branding requirements
    • Sustainability goals
    • Storage conditions
    • Estimated order quantity

    For example, you need French fries boxes with venting holes to retain freshness. Saucy meals require grease-resistant packaging to prevent the box from getting soggy. In addition to this, bakery boxes usually prefer window boxes to showcase the products. Some of the characteristics of our food packaging boxes are as follows:

    • Grease Resistance
    • Heat Retention
    • Moisture Protection
    • Stackable Design
    • Microwave Compatibility
    • Printing Techniques
