Materials and GSM Specifications
The performance of burger clamshell containers depends heavily on the material weight and construction quality.
Our packaging uses food-safe materials rated by GSM to ensure appropriate durability for different burger configurations and use cases.
- 250-300 GSM: Standard kraft paperboard burger clamshells suitable for single patty burgers, fast food service, and casual dining establishments. Provides reliable hold for standard burger sizes with good grease resistance.
- 350-400 GSM: Heavy-duty burger clamshell containers designed for double patty burgers, loaded burgers with multiple toppings, and fast food chains requiring robust packaging. Offers enhanced structural integrity and superior grease barrier properties.
- 450-500 GSM: Premium burger clamshell packaging for gourmet burgers, restaurant takeout, and premium food service. Maximum rigidity and moisture resistance keep burgers fresh and presentable during transit.
All our burger clamshell options feature a polyethylene coating on the interior surface to prevent grease penetration and maintain food quality. The hinge mechanism is engineered for repeated opening and closing without breaking, making these containers ideal for dine-in and takeout scenarios alike.
Customization Options
Transform your burger clamshell from a simple container into a brand-building tool with our comprehensive customization options. Custom printed burger clamshell packaging showcases your logo, promotes your brand, and creates memorable unboxing experiences for customers.
Add your restaurant logo to the lid or base of the burger clamshell using spot color or full color printing. Choose colors that match your brand identity and create visual consistency across all your packaging materials. Custom messaging such as reheating instructions, social media handles, or promotional offers can be printed on the interior or exterior surfaces.
We offer various finishing options including matte lamination for a sophisticated look or glossy finish for vibrant color reproduction. Custom die-cut windows on the lid allow customers to see their burger before opening, enhancing the appeal of visually appetizing burger presentations. Special coatings can be applied for enhanced grease resistance or premium tactile feel.
