Kraft Food Boxes for Takeaways: Which Style Fits Your Menu?

Short answer

Are kraft food boxes good for takeaway food?

Yes — kraft food boxes are a strong choice for takeaway food because they are sturdy, stack well, look natural and suit hot, dry and lightly sauced dishes. Choose fold-top boxes for rice, noodles and mixed meals, open trays for fries and street food, and lidded kraft containers or bowls for saucier dishes. Ask for samples to test fit and leak performance with your own menu before ordering in bulk.

Common kraft box styles

Each style suits a different type of dish.

Fold-top takeaway boxes: rice dishes, noodles, salads and mixed meals.
Open trays: fries, hot dogs, wings and market food.
Lidded kraft containers: curries, stews and pasta.
Kraft bowls with lids: poke, grain bowls and loaded fries.

Getting the size right

Too large and food slides around and cools; too small and lids pop open. Portion your best-selling dish into sample boxes and check that it closes cleanly with a little headroom.

Each capacity is listed separately in our shop so you can compare sizes side by side.

Branding kraft boxes

Kraft prints well with one- or two-colour logos, giving a natural, premium look. It is a popular choice for burger bars, noodle bars and street food brands.
