Food & Beverage Packaging FAQs

Answers to common questions regarding logistics, materials, and ordering.

Are your food packaging materials FDA-compliant?
Yes. All materials used in our food packaging — including board, inks, and coatings — are FDA 21 CFR compliant and safe for direct food contact. We also offer EU 10/2011-compliant options for international brands.
What is the best material for pizza boxes?
We recommend single-wall E-flute or B-flute corrugated board with a grease-resistant PE liner for pizza boxes. The corrugated structure keeps the pizza hot while the liner prevents grease penetration and maintains structural integrity.
Can you make food boxes with clear windows?
Yes. We offer PET window panels in any shape or size. Window boxes are especially popular for bakery items, macarons, cakes, and cookies as they showcase the product and increase impulse purchase rates.
Do you offer eco-friendly food packaging?
Yes. We offer FSC-certified board, 100% recycled content options, soy-based inks, and compostable lining for food packaging. Our kraft options are biodegradable and popular with eco-conscious food brands.
What food packaging options are best for delivery services?
For delivery, we recommend corrugated or rigid board takeout boxes with vented lids to control steam, secure tuck or auto-lock closures to prevent spillage, and leak-resistant interior coatings. Branded mailer-style boxes also work well for premium meal kit services.
What are your minimum order quantities for food boxes?
Our MOQ for food boxes starts at 100 units for most styles, and 50 units for specialty items like macaron boxes or rigid cake boxes. We also offer rush production for urgent restaurant and event needs.
