Description
Overview

Customized Paper Taco Holders

Upright, separated and steady — the format solves a plating problem, not a wrapping one.

Tacos fall over and lose their filling on any flat surface. Die-cut channels hold two or three upright so they can be carried and eaten without collapsing.

What We Make

The full kit of capabilities.

Upright Slot Support
Grips the shell near the base so a filled taco stays vertical.
Two and Three Slot Formats
Matched to how you sell rather than a stock layout.
Filled-Width Slot Spacing
Sized around a loaded taco, not an empty shell.
Soft and Hard Shell Variants
Different grip profiles — soft shells slump, hard shells crack.
PFAS-Free Barrier at the Base
Concentrated where juices actually collect.
Moulded Fibre Option
Formed slots that grip more securely than folded board.
Nesting Storage
Stacks compactly for high-volume service.
Kraft Stain-Hiding Stock
Hides salsa and grease marks.
Slots Sized to Empty Shells
It forces staff to under-fill or wedge tacos in. Slot spacing has to allow for a loaded taco.
Delivery Without an Outer Box
An open holder tips in a delivery bag. It needs a closed outer container for anything that travels.

Sizing & dieline.

Every Customized Paper Taco Holders 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

Pricing & minimums.

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 Customized Paper Taco Holders.

Match it to how you actually sell, and then check the spacing against a filled taco.

Two-slot suits a standard order where most customers buy a pair, and it gives each taco generous room.

Three-slot suits combination plates and sharing, but only works if the slots are spaced for loaded tacos.

That last point is where most sizing errors happen. An empty shell is narrow; a taco loaded with meat, salsa, cheese and garnish is much wider at the top. A three-slot holder designed around empty shells forces staff to under-fill or wedge them in, and you end up with a holder that technically fits three tacos and practically fits two.

Send us a made-up taco at your normal fill and we will space the slots around it.
