Chip Boxes
Small, open and greasy — built for eat-now service rather than carrying home.
Loaded chips and fries need a box that stays rigid under hot fat and lets steam escape. Everything else about the format is speed and cost.
Every detail. Intentional.
Rigid under hot fat
A softened box collapses in hand.
Open for steam
Enclosure softens what is inside.
Eat-now service
Not a carry-home format.
Erects at counter speed
Seconds, not a minute.
Grease-tolerant coating
Non-negotiable for fried food.
Held while eating
So print is in constant view.
Built like architecture.
Each Custom Chip Boxes is an engineered object — measured, dieline-cut, and hand-wrapped to spec. Below: the standard build sheet.

Sizing & dieline.
Every Custom Chip 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.
Length, width and height of the item itself, at its widest points — not the box you happen to use today.
Allow 2–4 mm on each axis for a snug fit, and more if you are adding foam, a pillow insert or tissue.
We quote as Length × Width × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.
✦ Not sure of your size? Send us the product — we measure it and build the dieline.
Pricing & minimums.
Custom Chip Boxes is priced per specification rather than from a fixed list — the same box in two different finishes can land at very different numbers. Below is what actually moves the price, so you can shape the spec before you request a quote.
The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.
Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.
Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.
Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.
Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.
Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.

What brands say.
“The best packaging partner we've ever worked with. Every box feels like an event.”
“Our unboxing experience went from forgettable to remarkable. The magnetic close is chef's kiss.”
“Fast turnaround, flawless quality, and the design support is genuinely exceptional.”
Questions, answered.
Everything you need to know about Custom Chip Boxes.
Yes, and it is because of vinegar rather than portion size.
Malt vinegar is acidic, and acid affects paperboard differently from oil. Grease soaks into board and darkens it — unpleasant but slow. Acid actively attacks the fibre structure and many coatings, softening the box from the inside considerably faster.
The practical consequence is that a barrier specified purely for grease can perform perfectly well with fries and still fail on a generously vinegared portion of chips. Customers experience it as a box that goes soft in their hands on the walk home.
We specify chip boxes with an acid-resistant coating alongside the PFAS-free grease barrier. If you serve vinegar at the counter — or hand out sachets — it is worth mentioning at quote stage so we specify against actual use rather than assuming a dry portion.
