Product Description
Custom frozen food boxes are retail cartons for products that live in a freezer case: frozen meals, pizzas, desserts, vegetables and snacks. They have to cope with cold, condensation and handling, and still look sharp next to competitors on a crowded shelf. Getting the board and coating right is what keeps the carton looking new after days in the cold chain.
Sizes and dimensions
Frozen food cartons are sized to the product and to the retailer's shelf or freezer layout. Common formats: - flat sleeves and cartons for ready meals and pizzas - tuck-end cartons for vegetables, snacks and desserts - multi-pack cartons for portions sold together
Ask your retailer for any size limits before the dieline is drawn.
Materials and board options
Paperboard for frozen food needs a moisture-resistant coating on the outside so it doesn't soften or warp when it frosts over and thaws. Heavier board keeps the carton square when stacked in a freezer. For food that touches the board directly, we specify food-safe materials and can request supplier documentation. If your product is cooked in the box, such as some oven-ready meals, tell us at the quote stage, because the board and coating then need to suit oven temperatures.
Printing and finishes
Gloss or moisture-resistant coatings keep print bright in freezer lighting. The front panel carries the brand and a product photo; side and back panels need space for nutrition information, ingredients, cooking instructions and a barcode. Plan those panels early so text stays readable.
Common uses
Typical uses: - Ready meals and entrées - Frozen pizzas and flatbreads - Ice cream sandwiches and desserts - Frozen vegetables and fruit - Dumplings, snacks and appetisers
Is this the right box for you?
Choose frozen food boxes for retail products sold frozen. For hot food served to go, see clamshell boxes. For frozen pizza specifically, compare frozen pizza boxes. More styles: food boxes.
