Material / Paper Stock We Use

The best packaging keeps the spark of products alive. It’s not only the colour and design that help them attract customers. Rather, material and paper stock matters more than that. We use packaging materials with qualities like ecofriendliness, sustainability, recyclability, and durability. Kraft, Cardboard, and Corrugated being popular for each of these qualities, make perfect boxes. See all other paper stock here.

Stand Out with Customised Kraft Takeaway Boxes

Personalised kraft takeaway boxes provide a welcome to the food: natural, strong, and shape-retaining throughout the delivery. We make these boxes with real kraft paper to keep your food hot, clean and beautiful all the way from the kitchen to your doorstep.

Each batch is customised to your menu. Choose your size and customise your logo and of course, we do the rest, fast.

  • Sturdy build: The paper holds its shape under weight so it doesn't crush in a delivery bag.
  • Grease resistance: Most come with a coating that stops oily food soaking through
  • Breathable material: Unlike sealed plastic, kraft paper lets a little steam escape, so fried or crisp food doesn't go soggy.
  • Fold-lock design: They snap together without tape or glue
  • Easy to dispose of responsibly after use: Recyclable and biodegradable.

They can be used for a variety of different foods, such as burgers, wraps, rice bowls, sides, bakery goods and much more, and businesses frequently get them designed with their trademark so that the branding accompanies each and every order.

The Box Behind The Brown Paper

Bespoke kraft takeaway packaging boxes are made from kraft paper, which is a strong paper manufactured by pressing wood pulp fibres. They are widely used in the UK for packing meals for food businesses for delivery and collection. The paper will not buckle or rip from the weight of the paper and is oil and grease-resistant, so your food will look as crisp as the moment it came out of the oven.

Steam is trapped in plastic tubs and makes crisp food soggy. Kraft paper breathes; textures remain intact. Customers feel it, and they will remember that the brand is the one that got it. We use FSC-certified packaging materials.

What Makes These Boxes Tick

Our kraft takeaway food boxes come loaded with practical perks:

  • Grease-resistant lining: Stops oily meals soaking through.
  • Fold-lock construction: No tape, no glue, no wasted time.
  • Full custom print: Colour, single tone, or foil finish.
  • Food-grade paper stock: Safe for direct contact with hot or cold dishes.
  • Stackable build: Saves room in the kitchen and delivery bags alike.

Shapes for Every Dish on Your Menu

The Custom Boxes UK stocks kraft packaging in shapes built around real menus, not guesswork:

  • Rectangle boxes: Suited to burgers, wraps, and mains.
  • Square boxes: Ideal for salads, rice bowls, and sides.
  • Fold-out boxes: Open flat for easy plating at the table.
  • Compartment boxes: Keep sauces separate from the main dish.
  • Snack-size boxes: Built for chips, nuggets, and street food.

Every box ships flat and folds together within seconds. Your team will notice the time saved during a busy rush.

The Paper That Does The Heavy Lifting

We source premium kraft stock with sustainability at the front of mind. Choose from:

  • Standard kraft: Natural brown finish with visible fibre texture.
  • White-lined kraft: Kraft outside, bright white print surface inside.
  • Double-wall kraft: Extra thickness for hot, heavy, or saucy meals.

Every material option meets food safety standards, with no chemical leaching into your dishes. Health inspectors approve. Customers never think twice.
