Description
Overview

Chinese Food Boxes

Leak resistance is the whole specification — sauce finds every seam a fold leaves.

Wet, oily contents sit in these for the length of a delivery. The coating and the fold geometry together decide whether the bag arrives clean.

What We Make

The full kit of capabilities.

Matched Container Sets
Consistent footprints across sizes so orders stack stably.
Seamless Folded Bases
No glue line for sauce to work through.
Matched Sauce Pots
Wet components travel separately and dress on arrival.
Per-Dish Venting
Rice, crispy and saucy dishes specified differently rather than uniformly.
Double Poly for Wet Dishes
Heavier lining where sauce sits for the whole journey.
Consistent Branding Across Sizes
An order arrives looking like one brand, not four suppliers.
Dish Labelling Areas
Marking which container holds what on a multi-item order.
Compostable Sets
PLA-lined across the whole range.
One Venting Spec Across the Menu
Rice needs venting, crispy dishes need it badly, saucy dishes barely care. A single setting gets something wrong.
Mixed-Supplier Container Sets
Inconsistent footprints do not stack. Items shift, containers tip and lids come off in the bag — the most common cause of a spilled order.

Sizing & dieline.

Every Chinese Food Boxes is cut to a dieline built around your product — not pulled off a shelf. Send us the length, width and height of the item (or the item itself) and we return a measured dieline, free, before you commit to anything.

How to measure
01
Measure the product

Length, width and height of the item itself, at its widest points — not the box you happen to use today.

02
Add clearance

Allow 2–4 mm on each axis for a snug fit, and more if you are adding foam, a pillow insert or tissue.

03
Give us the order

We quote as Length × Width × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.

What It Costs

What moves the price
Quantity

The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.

Material and thickness

Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.

Finishing

Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.

Print coverage

Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.

Inserts and hardware

Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.

Timeline

Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.

— Frequently Asked Questions —

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know about Chinese Food Boxes.

Because a Chinese order is almost never one container — it is typically three to six items packed into one bag together.

If those containers have inconsistent base footprints, they cannot pack squarely. Gaps appear, items shift during the journey, containers tip, and lids get pushed off by whatever is stacked above. That is the single most common cause of an order arriving spilled, and it is usually blamed on the driver.

A matched set with consistent base dimensions stacks into a stable column that survives the journey.

There is a second benefit that operators notice quickly: packing gets faster. When containers fit together in only one sensible way, staff stop working it out for each order.

If you have accumulated containers from several suppliers over time — which most established takeaways have — it is worth laying a full order out and checking how it actually stacks.
