FOOD-SAFE PACKAGING

We offer boxes, trays, and containers certified for direct contact with food. Whether you run a bar, a restaurant, or a delivery service, or you’re preparing delicious home-cooked gifts, we’ve got you covered!

  • Looking for a special container to enhance the quality of your products? Deluxe food boxes are designed to make the box as valuable as the food it contains, and are ideal both for delivery, adding a stylish touch, and for food gifts at your events (private parties or public events such as new openings, trade fairs, and company parties). Especially suitable for pastries and sweets, these boxes are available with either a ribbon or a handle closure, so you can choose the model that best fits your needs

  • Flip lid food boxes and Sandwich boxes are traditional containers, ideal for holding patisserie or bakery products. They are designed to protect the contents and to be quickly closed when you have plenty of products to package

banner_03_lm.jpg
  • Food containers and Catering trays are instead the perfect solution for serving your products in an innovative way, whether for presenting food at events or for your takeaway service

To ensure suitability for direct food contact, all these boxes are printed on Food-safe cardboard, a 350 gsm material, using food-safe inks. This cardboard features an ISEGA-certified varnish coating that is resistant to grease.

Once you’ve found the packaging model that most suits your needs, you can customise the box format by combining the available options. Our packaging is generally designed to accommodate small and medium-sized items.

Depending on the model, you may either choose from a set of available formats or select the width first and then the depth according to the preset dimensions. Based on the sizes you enter, the website will automatically display all compatible formats. Be sure to click the “i” information icon to check the exact dimensions of each side.

Looking for more products to pack your food? We also print flexible food packaging in both stand-up and flat pouches, suitable for a wide range of products.

These pouches are ideal for liquids, powders, and many other foodstuffs — from sweets to dried fruits, and from snacks to rice and cereals). They are available in a variety of formats, from 10 to 1000 ml capacity, and in different materials, including recyclable options, which you can explore in this page.

If you’re considering our flexible packaging, here’s an important tip: the pouch capacity is tested in water, and the sides come pre-sealed, which slightly reduces the internal space. Be sure to choose the format you need keeping in mind that you will fill the pouch with your contents and then seal it at the top.

You can also take advantage of smart features to make your packaging even more functional: resealable zip to grant freshness, a hanging hole to display the pouch wherever you need, and a spout option for liquid products. These innovative solutions are designed to meet your specific packaging needs. Find more details in this article.

For coffee producers and resellers, we also offer our Coffee pouches, designed to keep your coffee as fresh as the day it was ground. Featuring an aluminium interior and a valve that releases naturally produced moisture, they preserve your coffee’s original aroma and flavour.

Wrap your products with our Food wrapping paper, certified for direct contact with food. This paper is ideal for a variety of items, from dry baked goods to moist or greasy foods, ensuring food safety and presentation. 

You can choose one of the available printing colours (please read here for details on printing in predefined colours) or opt for a customised single CMYK colour. 

A variety of sheet sizes are available, including standard fixed formats or assorted packs with mixed sizes to suit different needs. You can also select the desired quantity in kilograms according to your requirements.

FAQ
  • How can I know if my product fits into the box or pouch? 

Once you’ve set the dimensions or chosen the format from the product page, always click on the “i” of information to check the size of each side. If your printer supports the format, you can also print the template provided with the guidelines: cut along the path cut and assemble it to make your own sample and better figure out the real dimensions of the box. For flexible packaging, please consider the capacity: it has been tested with water, so the final capacity may vary for mixtures with different volumes.

  • Do you provide a certification or declaration of conformity for food contact products?

Yes, we provide a declaration of conformity for all materials and articles intended to come into direct contact with food products (FCM), such as Doypacks, Flat pouches, Food-safe cardboard packaging, Paper cups, Paper and Cocktail napkins, Food wrapping paper, as well as some promotional items like Mugs and Bottles, and Cooler bags. Once you place your order, please contact us to receive the relevant documentation. Please note that items such as placemats, coasters, labels, stickers, shoppers, and non-food-grade packaging or products are not considered direct food contact materials. Therefore, if you use these products, any food should always be pre-packaged in materials suitable for direct food contact.

  • Do you offer responsible food-safe packaging?

Yes, we offer several food-safe packaging options made with materials selected to reduce environmental impact. You can find them in the Recyclable doypacks and Recyclable flat pouches sections. Responsible products are also easily identifiable by the green leaf icon displayed on the product page.

Some materials are also FSC™ certified, meaning they come from responsibly managed forests. For more details about this certification and what it stands for, please read this article.

  • Will I have to assemble the boxes or pouches? 

The boxes come pre-cut, creased, and glued, and are packed flat. You’ll only need to open and assemble them. Assembly instructions are not included, as it is very simple to set up all our packaging models!

The pouches come open, so once filled, you will need to heat-seal them at the top using a suitable machine. For this step, we recommend a temperature of 160° C for 1 second.

  • Is food-safe packaging suitable for heating and freezing?

Packaging made of food safe cardboard is not suitable for use in conventional or microwave ovens. It can be stored at temperatures down to -5º for up to 5 days.

  • How can I create my design? 

We provide instructions and template to create a print ready file on your own (with design software). However, the easiest way to create your box design is doubtless using our free Designer and realising it online, checking and reviewing it how many times you need taking advantage of the 3D preview that lets you open, close and rotate the product. Plus, we offer you backgrounds, images, clip arts and the chance to get help from the AI generating contents to enhance your communication project. 

If you need any help editing your file or even creating the design from scratch, have a look at our Design Services
