What Is Custom Food Packaging?
Custom food packaging is packaging made to your own size, material and design instead of a plain stock box. You decide the shape that fits your food, the board that suits it and the print that tells your brand's story. This page explains how to choose, price and order it, step by step.
Why Custom Food Packaging Matters for Your Food Business
Packaging is the last thing a customer touches before they taste your food. Here is what the right packaging does for your business.
It Protects Your Food
A well-fitted box stops food from moving, crushing or leaking in transit. Coatings and sturdy board help packaging cope with grease and moisture, so meals arrive looking the way they left your kitchen.
It Builds Your Brand
Your logo, colours and message appear on every order. Customers recognise you faster, and attractive packaging often gets photographed and shared on social media, which promotes your food for free.
It Improves the Customer Experience
Neat, easy-to-open packaging makes a strong first impression and makes a takeaway feel more premium. A better experience gives customers a reason to order from you again.
It Can Save Time and Money
Boxes made to fit your menu items speed up packing and reduce waste. With prices from £0.10 per box and no strict minimum order, you can start small and scale up as your business grows.
Food Packaging Solutions for Every Menu
Different foods need different boxes. Choose your product below, or send us your menu and we will recommend the right style.
Burgers and Fast Food
Burger packaging has to cope with heat, grease and rough handling. Our burger boxes are made to your size and printed with your branding, so your best-seller looks as good in the customer's hands as it does on your counter. Pick a size that holds the burger snugly without squashing the bun.
Pizza
Pizza boxes need strength and a good fit. Our pizza boxes are made to the size of your pizzas and printed with your logo, so deliveries stay neat and your brand travels with every order. Corrugated board is a popular choice when you need extra strength.
Asian Takeaway and Noodles
Sauces, noodles and rice need packaging that does not leak or collapse. Choose Chinese takeout boxes, Chinese food boxes or noodle boxes in the size and print that suit your menu. A well-fitted box also makes the meal easier to carry and eat.
Sushi
Sushi is judged by eye as much as by taste. Our custom sushi boxes are made to fit your portions neatly, with branding that gives your food a clean, premium look.
Sandwiches and Snacks
Grab-and-go customers want packaging that is light, easy to open and easy to carry. We make sandwich boxes, snacks boxes and popcorn boxes in sizes that fit your products, with your logo on the front.
Bakery, Desserts and Sweet Treats
Delicate cakes, pastries and chocolates need protection and presentation. Bakery boxes, dessert boxes, macaron boxes and truffle boxes keep sweet treats safe and make them look gift-worthy, with optional window cutouts and inserts.
Coffee, Tea and Drinks
Match your food packaging with branded drinks packaging. Choose coffee cups with logo, coffee boxes and tea boxes to keep your branding consistent across every order.
Health Food and Supplements
Health brands need clean, secure packaging that builds trust. We make supplement boxes and food supplement packaging for protein, vitamins and wellness products.
Custom Food Packaging for Every Type of Food Business
Whatever you sell, the packaging should fit the way you serve it. Here is how different food businesses use custom packaging:
- Restaurants and takeaways: branded boxes for hot meals and delivery orders that keep your food presentable and your brand visible.
- Cafés and coffee shops: cups, snack boxes and sandwich boxes that match the look of your shop.
- Bakeries and dessert shops: window boxes and gift-ready packaging for cakes, pastries and sweet treats.
- Food trucks and market stalls: simple, sturdy boxes that are quick to pack and easy to carry.
- Cloud kitchens and delivery brands: packaging that carries your brand when customers never see your premises.
- Food brands and retailers: retail-ready boxes and pouches for packaged food, from cereals to snacks.
How to Choose the Right Food Packaging
Picking the right food packaging solutions is easier when you work through a few simple questions:
- What food are you packing? Hot, greasy, saucy and dry foods each need different materials and coatings.
- What size fits best? A box that is too tight crushes food, and one that is too loose lets it slide. Measure your largest portion first.
- How will it travel? Delivery orders need stronger, stackable boxes than dine-in or counter takeaway.
- What should it look like? Match the material and finish to your brand, for example kraft for a natural look or matte black for a premium one.
- Does it suit your budget? Print colours, finishes and quantity all affect the price, so keep the design as simple as it can be.
- Is it right for food contact? Ask about food-safe options and check the guidance from the Food Standards Agency.

Materials and Finishes
Material affects strength, price and how your packaging looks. These are the three most common choices for food boxes:
| Material | Best for | Why choose it |
|---|---|---|
| Kraft | Sandwiches, snacks, bakery, dry food | Natural look, strong and popular with eco-minded customers |
| Cardboard (food-safe coated) | Burgers, takeaway meals, desserts | Good print quality and resistance to grease and moisture |
| Corrugated | Pizza, large meals, delivery orders | Extra strength for stacking and transport |
Finishing options include matte lamination, gloss coating, spot UV, embossing and foil stamping. We can also add window cutouts, so customers can see the food, and inserts that keep items in place. Not sure which suits your food? Tell us what you serve and we will advise.
Printing and Branding for Food Packaging
Good branding food packaging turns every order into advertising. We print your logo, colours, message and social handles on boxes, bags and cups, so customers recognise your brand and share their food online. Whether you want to print food packaging for one product or customised food packaging for a whole menu, we make it to your specification.
- Keep your logo large and clear on the lid or front.
- Use your brand colours consistently across all packaging.
- Choose personalised food packaging that matches your food, for example kraft for a rustic bakery or matte black for premium desserts.
- Add a short message or your social handle so customers can find you again.
- Send your logo as a vector file if you have one. If you do not, our free design service can prepare it.

| A simple one-colour logo usually costs less than a full-colour design | |

Is custom food packaging food safe?
Food packaging should be suitable for food contact, with coatings that handle grease and moisture. Tell us what food you are packing and we will advise on suitable materials. It is also sensible to check food-contact suitability with any supplier and to follow Food Standards Agency guidance.
What food packaging do I need to start a takeaway?
Most takeaways need boxes for their main dishes, plus cups and bags. Start with your best-selling menu items so the packaging fits your food. With no strict minimum order, you can begin with a small batch of custom boxes and reorder as you grow.
How do I design food packaging for my restaurant?
Start with your food: choose a box size and material that fits it, then add your logo, brand colours and a short message or social handle. Keep the design simple and readable. Our design service is free, so send us your ideas and we will prepare the artwork.
What are the best food packaging companies in the UK?
The right company depends on your needs. Compare who actually manufactures the packaging, whether prices are clear, how long delivery takes and whether you can approve a proof first. At Custom Boxes Aazz we are a manufacturer, with prices from £0.10 per box and video approval before delivery.
Is eco-friendly or biodegradable food packaging available?
Yes. Ask us about kraft boxes and biodegradable food packaging when you request your quote. Kraft is popular for its natural look, and biodegradable options suit brands that want to reduce waste. We will advise which material works best for your food.
