Fast food and delivery packaging: burger box, noodle box, sushi, fries

Delivery has become a second dining room, and packaging is its interior. The four most common boxes, their sizes and materials, plus free dielines.

Burger box: a dieline and a 3D view in the free tool.

A customer who orders delivery sees neither your dining room, nor your tableware, nor your waiters. All they get is a bag and boxes. Those have to say: this was made by people who care.

Branded packaging does not have to mean large runs. You can start with a dieline to your own size, a test batch and simple one-colour printing.

Key points
  • Packaging for hot food is made of grease-resistant board intended for food contact.
  • The box must match the portion: empty space means the dish gets shaken up on the way.
  • A one-colour logo on kraft is the cheapest way to make your delivery recognisable.

Box 1Burger box

Two equal halves joined along the back wall: the lid flips open and a tab locks into a slot. It keeps the burger warm and in shape.

Large burger140 × 140 × 100open

Box 2Noodle (wok) box

It narrows towards the bottom and closes with four flaps on top. The shape keeps heat well, and you can eat straight from the box.

Large, about 1 l85 × 70 × 105open

The tool calculates the volume to the brim and shows it under the drawing – handy for matching the box to your portion.

Box 3Sushi and roll box

A flat self-locking box with a hinged lid. A window in the lid shows the set without opening the box.

Box 4French fries box

An open-top cone with a tall rounded back wall. Suits fries, nuggets, cheese sticks and churros.

The sizes in the tables are guides: portions differ from place to place. Change the numbers to suit you and the drawing is rebuilt. For pizza there is a separate article: pizza box.

MaterialWhat food packaging is made of

  1. Food-grade boardAsk the manufacturer for confirmation that the material is intended for food contact.
  2. Grease-resistant coatingWithout it, stains show through a burger or fries box.
  3. Kraft or whiteKraft is cheaper and hides small stains. White gives cleaner colours.
  4. VentilationFried food needs vents, or it goes soggy from steam.
  5. WeightThin board is cheaper, but the box may get crushed on the way.

BrandHow to make your delivery recognisable

  1. One colour, one logoAll boxes in one style work better than a single beautiful one.
  2. Seal stickerIt closes the box and carries the logo at the same time. The cheapest branded element.
  3. QR code for a repeat orderOn the lid or a napkin. You can make one in the QR code generator.
  4. The bagThe last thing a customer sees before opening the food. There is a dieline in the article on paper bags.
  5. Copy with characterOne phrase on the lid is remembered better than a list of services.

HonestlyThe tool gives you the drawing. We design the packaging

The generator builds the shape to your dimensions: cut and crease lines, bleed, and files for the print shop. It is a standard construction – a manufacturer may adjust it to their equipment, and a test sample is a must before a print run.

Delivery packaging is a whole set: boxes, a bag, stickers, napkins, a card. They must look like one thing. We design packaging in your brand style: write to us and send the dieline from the tool.

Order your own delivery to a different address. See what state the food arrives in – and you will know at once what to change in the packaging.

FAQFAQ

What size is a burger box?

For a standard burger – 120 × 120 × 80 mm; for a large one – 140 × 140 × 100 mm.

Where can I make a food packaging dieline for free?

In the BOMBA DESIGN generator: six types for food and delivery, your own dimensions, PDF, SVG, EPS and DXF files.

Which board is needed for hot food?

Board intended for food contact, with a grease-resistant coating.

Can I order a small run with a logo?

Yes: ready-made plain packaging plus a sticker or a stamp. Printing on the box itself pays off from a few hundred pieces.

How do I find the volume of a noodle box?

The generator shows the volume under the drawing and recalculates it when you change the dimensions.

Will the dieline work for a manufacturer?

As a basis, yes. The manufacturer may adjust locks and flaps to their equipment.
