Grease through the corners
A double with sauce sits in the box for the whole ride. Grease finds the weakest spot, usually a corner.
What we doA water-based grease barrier on the food side, and doubled board at every corner.
For burger shops
A box that keeps the burger standing up.
Your burger leaves the pass looking right. Twenty minutes later it has to open the same way on the customer’s table. Our boxes are cut from one sheet of kraft board, fold in about four seconds and lock shut with a die-cut tuck.
- 7.1 × 7.1 × 2.8 in standard
- Folds in about 4 seconds
- Min. 2,000 per size

Off the pass, into the box
Built around your build.
Single patty or a double with everything on it. We set the base and the wall height to your burger, not to a catalogue.
The trouble with the box you have now
Six things that go wrong between the grill and the door.
None of them are the cook’s fault. They are the box.
The lid drops onto the bun
Steam softens thin board. The lid sags, the bun flattens and the cheese ends up on the lid.
What we doE-flute board is stiffer than thin carton, and we set the wall height to your tallest burger.
Crushed in the delivery bag
Drivers stack orders. The box at the bottom carries everything above it.
What we doThe doubled corners let a filled box carry five more on top of it.
Rules on foam and plastic
More towns and states limit foam clamshells and some plastics, and the rules differ from place to place.
What we doKraft board with a water-based barrier. No foam, no plastic film.
No room to keep stock
Boxes that arrive made up fill a storeroom fast. A small kitchen cannot hold a month of them.
What we doBoxes arrive flat and take about a fourteenth of the room they take made up Under a supply agreement we also hold the rest of your stock in our warehouse.
Slow at the rush
If a box is slow to set up, the line backs up at half past twelve.
What we doSet up by hand in about four seconds and closed with one thumb.
A service day
A day on the line, with the right box.
Where the box shows up in your day, and what it does there.
Delivery
Cartons of flat boxes come in. They go on one shelf, not across the storeroom floor.
Prep
Someone folds a stack before service. About four seconds a box.
Lunch rush
Burger in, lid over, tuck closed with one thumb. Boxes stack straight on the pass.
Delivery orders
Orders go into the driver’s bag stacked. The bottom box still opens square after a twenty-minute ride.
Close
Count what is left and reorder from your account. The next run ships flat.
What you would order
What a burger shop usually orders.
Start with the box. Add the rest when it suits you, all in the same kraft and the same print.

Your name on it
Your logo on the lid.
The artwork is printed on the flat sheet before it is cut, so it lands in the same place on every box.
- Flexo print in 1 to 4 colours on the kraft face, or a plain box you stamp yourself.
- The die-line and the artwork come from the same file. Change the size and both follow.
- You get a proof before anything is cut. Nothing runs until you approve it.
- Colour on unbleached kraft varies a little from run to run. That is the material, and it is normal.
What it replaces
What our box takes the place of.
Most shops come to us from one of these three.
Instead ofA clear plastic clamshell
Plastic traps the steam and the lid fogs over. A kraft box carries your logo instead and has no plastic in it.
Instead ofA plain stock box
A stock size leaves the burger sliding around or squashed. Ours is drawn to your burger and printed with your name.
Instead ofA foam clamshell
Foam is limited in a growing number of places, and customers notice it. Kraft board is printed with your name.
How an order runs

FAQ
Questions we get asked
Something not covered here? Ask in the form below and we answer within one working day.
Will it fit a double or a tall burger?
Yes. The standard box is 7.1 × 7.1 × 2.8 in (180 × 180 × 70 mm), which takes a full-size burger with room for the wrap. For a taller build we raise the walls.
Send us the height of your biggest burger and we draw the die-line to it.
Does grease come through?
The food side is virgin kraft with a water-based grease barrier.
If your menu is very saucy, say so and we will sample the box with your food before you order.
Can we print our logo?
Yes. Flexo print in 1 to 4 colours on the kraft face. You can also order the box plain and stamp it yourself.
What is the minimum order?
2,000 boxes per size.
How long does it take?
About one working day for a quote and die-line, five working days for a cut sample, then 12 to 15 working days of production after you approve the proof. Transit is 1 to 5 business days.
Do the boxes come folded?
No, flat. Cartons go by UPS or FedEx Ground. Bigger orders go on a pallet by LTL freight. Flat boxes take about a fourteenth of the room they take made up.
How do we reorder?
Once your account is open, you reorder from your own account page, for each of your locations.
How does payment work for a new account?
A new account starts with a 30% deposit on the agreed order and a supply agreement. We then hold your products in our warehouse, and each month you pay only for what you used.
