A Food Gable Box is a custom-printed paperboard carton with a built-in carry handle, made for restaurants and caterers who want grab-and-go packaging that travels in one hand. The fold-up gable top locks shut and forms the handle in the same motion, so no extra bag or assembly is needed at pickup.
The integrated handle frees up a hand for customers and speeds up counter service, the flat-pack design ships and stores without taking up room, and printed panels carry your brand from the kitchen to the front door. A food truck can hand off a full meal in a single branded box instead of stuffing it into a sack.
