Product Description
Custom clamshell boxes are one-piece takeout boxes with a hinged lid that snaps shut. They are quick for staff to close, easy for customers to eat from, and they keep food together in a delivery bag, which is why burger bars, delis and food trucks use them.
Sizes and dimensions
Clamshells are sized to the meal, with enough height for toppings. Example sizes: - 4 × 4 × 3 in for burgers and sliders - 6 × 6 × 3 in for sandwiches, wraps and sides - 9 × 6 × 3 in for full meals, salads and combo boxes
Materials and board options
Paperboard suits lighter and drier foods; corrugated keeps hot food warm and stays rigid with heavier portions. Kraft gives a natural look; white board prints brighter. For food that touches the box, we specify food-safe board and grease-resistant coatings and can request the supplier documentation for your materials. Clamshells ship flat and fold in one motion, so they are quick to set up during a lunch rush and take little storage space behind the counter.
Printing and finishes
A logo on the lid is the main branding area, often in one or two colours. Grease-resistant treatment inside matters more than decorative finishes. Small vents let steam escape so fried food stays crisp, and a locking tab keeps the lid closed in transit.
Common uses
Typical uses: - Burgers and sliders - Sandwiches, wraps and paninis - Salads and grain bowls - Fried chicken and sides - Food trucks and pop-up stalls
Is this the right box for you?
Choose clamshells for hot, handheld food served to go. For fries and sides, an open-top fries box is quicker to serve. For burgers specifically, see custom burger boxes. For carry-out with a handle, see kraft boxes with handle. More styles: food boxes.
