Practical purchasing guidance
Choose packaging around the finished food, the service workflow and the delivery journey. Use the formats below as starting points, not as a substitute for testing a packed sample.
Match the format to the menu
| Your order | Format to compare | Check before approval |
|---|---|---|
| Burgers & sandwiches | Hinged burger clamshell | Finished height, toppings, closure clearance and grease exposure. |
| Pizza | Corrugated pizza box | Pizza diameter, ventilation and strength when stacked warm. |
| Pastries & bakery | Folding pastry carton | Assortment footprint, liners, assembly speed and lid clearance. |
| Catered assortments | Divided grazing box | Portion layout, sauce cups, food separation and carrying weight. |
| Drinks to go | Handled cup carrier | Actual cup diameters, filled weight, balance and handle comfort. |
Approve fit before print
- Measure the packed product
Send internal length, width and height requirements, food temperature and the expected time in the pack. Include liners and inserts.
- Test the service journey
Check assembly, closing, carrying and stacking with your actual food or product. Review moisture and grease after the expected holding time.
- Sign off one complete specification
Approve the structure, material, artwork, quantity per design and export packing before production. Keep the approved sample for repeat orders.
