What Are Some Helpful Tips to Choose the Right Burger Boxes?

The right burger boxes can have a significant impact on how your food is displayed, protected, and promoted. And in this guide, I’m going to give you some practical advice on choosing the best packaging for your burgers:

Consider the Size and Shape

You want the box to be the perfect size for your burger. Too large and the burger can skate around inside it, too small and the box will crush the contents. Before you order, measure your burger’s diameter and height.

Pick the Right Material

Cardboard is the most common and is popular for good reasons: It is sturdy yet lightweight and easy on the environment. If you are in favour of a natural look, then select the Kraft burger box or a brown burger box. They’re also good options for sustainability.

Think About Style and Functionality

If your customers regularly grab food to go, consider opting for a hamburger box that has a handle of its own. Flat boxes can be stacked very quickly and stored. Besides, identify coatings that are grease-proof and water-resistant to maintain your packaging strong and neat.

Check Printing and Customization Options

Your packaging is a branding opportunity. Choose a supplier able to offer colorful processes of printing and finishing varnishes, such as matt or gloss, to present your design to its advantage.

Green Features

For brands that appreciate sustainability, either biodegradable or recyclable materials should be selected, and inks and coatings are supposed to be eco-friendly.

Selecting the best burger box is an element that will add to the customer experience as well as creating brand identity, make the right choice!

What Are The Benefits of Cardboard Burger Boxes?

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have been working with several companies - trying to nail down a box size and type for my organic tea business. Chris Martin was the ONLY rep in all of the companies I reached out to who was responsive, helpful, and walked me through the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure to give my small business dollars to Plus Printers! I will provide another review after I receive my custom product!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Chris Martin was so helpful and responsive! We needed custom folders made and looked at various different companies, but Plus Printers ended up offering the best quality and price. This was our first time ordering, but Chris guided us through every step and even sent us videos of sample folders and mockups of our final product so we could proceed with confidence. Thank you Chris and Plus Printers, we will definitely re-order when we run out of this batch.

We are very pleased with our packaging design! It was great working with Steven, I almost didn't work with Plus Printers because of their pricing but Steven went out of his way to try and negotiate prices with the sales department to fit our budget and offered us more budget-friendly packaging options as alternatives. Very responsive to my emails and made sure that our designs were how we wanted them! I look forward to working with them again soon!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

wonderful service from a company that went beyond expectation to help my project get up and running smoothly. My sales rep, Paul, and the design team at Plus Printers made sure to have every detail in place and gave me a quote other companies could not touch! Lead times were accurate and updates for shipping were by far the most stellar i have yet to see. Thanks a milion!
