Custom French Fry Containers and Boxes for Food Service Brands
French fries are one of the most universally ordered items in quick service restaurants, food trucks, stadium concessions, and fast casual dining. The container they arrive in is a direct extension of your brand. Custom French fry containers and boxes let food businesses of every size replace generic packaging with branded, purpose-built servingware that reflects their identity and keeps product fresh and presentable from fryer to customer. At Teal Packaging, we produce custom fry boxes and containers for restaurants, food truck operators, catering companies, concession stands, and food brands looking to elevate their food packaging across the US, Canada, UK, and Australia.
All orders ship free to these regions, with a standard two-week production turnaround from approved artwork. Free design support is included, and the minimum order quantity of 50 units makes professionally branded french fry packaging accessible even for small food service operations. We work with trusted manufacturing partners to deliver food-safe, print-accurate packaging that performs reliably in a fast-paced food service environment.

Materials for French Fry Containers and Boxes
The materials used in custom French fry containers must handle grease, heat, and rapid-service conditions without deforming, leaking, or compromising the food presentation. Teal Packaging offers food-safe substrates appropriate for direct food contact use.
- SBS paperboard (350-400 gsm): A strong, smooth white board used for folding carton fry boxes. Accepts full CMYK printing with high color fidelity and can be coated for additional grease resistance. Ideal for structural fry scoop boxes and tray formats.
- Grease-resistant coated board: A food-safe grease barrier coating applied to SBS or kraft board prevents oil from soaking through the container walls. Essential for high-fat-content fried foods that produce significant grease during service.
- Kraft-based board (300 gsm): A natural brown board with grease-resistant coating. Popular with artisan burger restaurants, food trucks, and fast casual operators that want a craft, heritage aesthetic in their food packaging.
- PE-coated food board: A polyethylene-coated board that provides excellent moisture and grease resistance. Used in fry containers where extended hold times or double-stacked orders require more robust barrier performance.
All substrates used in our custom French fry boxes are produced with food-safe inks and coatings appropriate for direct food contact packaging applications.
