Custom fast food boxes are food-grade packaging that is made for fast food chains, restaurants, and food events in the USA and Canada. Constructed from grease-resistant, moisture-proof kraft paper and paperboard, these boxes are designed to keep your food fresh, flavorful and of high quality while delivering a branded experience to every order. With Plusprinters, you can customize to your needs dimensions, closure style, finishing and print.
For example, a custom made box can be ordered for a unique fast food menu with the dimensions you want. Such boxes are made of durable, high-strength material that holds up under heat and grease.
Besides, they come with a grease-resistant cover, so that oil stains do not get on the walls and ceiling of the box. These boxes are made by using food grade material such as kraft paper or paperboard. Fast food packaging is suitable for all kinds of businesses, including food points or restaurants, and you can use it in events to serve food.
So, order these versatile boxes to package fast food and make a distinction in the market.

Why Custom Fast Food Boxes Matter More Than You Think
Fast food is chosen for speed and your packaging should match that energy. Unlike complex generic boxes, custom fast food boxes are designed for quick, effortless packing so your team never slows down.
Customers don’t judge the food first. It is the packaging that they focus on. When you use a low-quality box that does not have any attractive features, it gives a negative impact. The purpose of a custom fast food box is to give customers a completely unique type of experience. In this way, your brand will stay top of mind with every customer.
Quick Tip: 89% of the people remember the packaging as much as the food itself.
Built for Food Protection and Freshness
Maintaining Aroma and Shelf Life
The problem that the majority of the food brands face is that fast food loses appeal quickly if you do not use the right packaging. The aroma disappears, and the contents inside the box are not branded but more like low-quality street food.
But these custom fast food boxes retain aroma and maintain food freshness. They extend the shelf life and give customers a completely different experience. Additionally, they enhance the protection of the food. With wax coating and moisture resistance, they improve the performance and prevent sogginess.
Preventing Contamination and Leakage
When it comes to food safety, you should not compromise. These boxes have a design that protects the content and eliminates the risk of leakage. You can use them for packaging all types of food items like fries. Custom French fry boxes make handling easy and are ideal for takeaways. Need to keep fries separate from the burger or organize a combo meal? Our boxes are available with internal dividers and custom trays so every item stays in place during delivery.
Using food-safe material ensures the following:
- Protection from food contamination
- Better hygiene during handling
- Secure storage during transit
Material Choices That Deliver Performance
Material is not only responsible for the strength but also for the user experience. A box is the first thing that a customer touches. If it does not deliver a pleasant, premium tactile experience, it will not contribute to expanding the business. Material selection defines durability and the user experience.
| Material Type | Best Use |
| Kraft Paper | Eco-friendly fast food packaging |
| Cardstock / Paperboard | Premium food presentation |
| Corrugated Material | Delivery and takeaway packaging |
| Bioplastics / Bio Resins | Sustainable packaging solutions |
| Polypropylene (PP) | Hot and greasy food items |
| Polystyrene (PS) | Lightweight food containers |
| Bamboo Material | Premium eco packaging |
These boxes come in different types of materials. But it does not mean that you can choose any of them. Each material has different types of features. So, you should opt for the one that is suitable for your business.
Tidbit: The right material does more than hold food; it preserves freshness, prevents contamination, and keeps every bite tasting as intended.
Finishing Options for Custom Fast Food Boxes
The right finish makes a plain fast food box a top brand experience. From embellishments to coatings, we have a full line of products to enhance the appearance and strength of your packaging.
Lamination Finishes
- For colors and graphic designs that need to stand out, Gloss Lamination is the solution as it provides your boxes with a bright, shiny surface.
- For a classy, upscale appearance, choose Matte Lamination for its smooth, non-reflective surface ideal for premium restaurants and boutique food brands.
Specialty Coatings
- Gloss AQ is a water-based, eco-friendly coating which can be applied to printed surfaces to safeguard against scuffing, moisture, and is ideal for high volume runs.
- Gloss UV is a UV cured, ultra shiny protective topcoat, ideal for logos and design elements.
- Matte UV is a blend of ‘matte’ and ‘UV-cured' with a soft-touch effect – this is ideal for applications where tactile experience is essential.
Decorative Embellishments
- Embossing gives a 3D dimension to the selected design, including logos, to enhance the luxurious look and memorable unboxing moment.
- Debossing puts the design into the material for a subtle indented finish, which is ideal when using kraft & cardstock surfaces.
- Foil Stamping uses metallic or holographic film available in gold, silver or custom colors, instantly transforming your packaging to luxury level.
Pro tip: Matte on Kraft is one of the most popular laminations for high-end boxes used for burgers and shawarmas without the high-end price tag.
Design Styles That Improve Food Presentation
We think that a box is just about holding content. But the case is completely different. It must also make the customer feel good about the edibles. Therefore, you should pick up food boxes, whether for fried items like fish and chips boxes or the cheesy items like pizza, that have special features.
Popular styles include:
- One piece takeout boxes
- Two piece takeout boxes
- Gable boxes with handle options
- Window cutout boxes for visibility
These features will give a completely unique look to your food boxes. Also, they will make the packaging attractive.
Printing That Turns Packaging Into Branding
High-Quality Printing Techniques
The best part is that this packaging allows you to print images or logos on the boxes. Simply put, you can turn this packaging into a branding tool. We use only food-safe, FDA-compliant inks including soy-based and water-based options that leave zero contamination risk on your packaging. It not only improves the look of packaging boxes but also makes the print permanent.
Offset printing: it is for the sharp visuals. You can use offset printing techniques for the best class graphics.
Digital printing: It is perfect for a small number of items and when you do not have to focus on the detailed graphics. Digital printing is faster than other types of printing.
Flexography: It is suitable for bulk production. If you are going with fast food boxes wholesale options, then choose flexography.
Screen printing: ideal for bold single-color logos on Kraft and matte surfaces.
Gravure printing: best for ultra-high-volume runs requiring photographic-quality results.

Enhancing the Dining Experience
Packaging shapes the entire dining experience of a customer. If the packaging is engaging, it will make your customer feel good about the content inside the box. Additionally, it will give a unique unboxing experience that feels satisfying.
Clean, well-designed packaging for fast food, like custom shawarma boxes, creates a better impression and encourages repeat purchases. Quality packaging keeps food warm and improves the presentation. Customers enjoy their meals more when the box performs well.

Artwork & File Guidelines
Prepare your files to these specs for flawless print results. Our design team is free to assist.
File Formats
We recommend clients provide their artwork options in AI, PDF, or PSD layouts. They guarantee smooth & accurate results during the printing process. Helps maintain the design quality, sharp details, and correct colours. This process supports clean output and professional consistency in every production run.
Resolution
To have clear or fast printing, all files should have a resolution of 300 DPI. This helps to avoid any pixelation, bluriness, and loss of detail in text and images. Improves packaging design quality during the production procedure.
Colour Mode
All artwork must be created in a CMYK format instead of RGB. CMYK is mainly used for the reproduction of a true and vibrant colour match on your packaging. So, your artwork on the final printed package will look exactly how you designed it.
Bleed & Safe Zone
Includes a minimum of 0.125 inches (1/8”) bleed on all sides of your design to ensure a proper cutting without any white borders. Maintains important features such as graphics, text, and logos at least 0.125 inches inside the small line. Ensures your final packaging looks professionally finished.
Fonts & Text
Outline all fonts before exporting. Ensure all text is at least 6pt at final print size to remain legible on the finished packaging.
Dieline & Layers
Place your dieline on a separately labelled layer set to overprint. Do not include the dieline in the print layer — it is reference only.
