Kraft Food Boxes are custom-printed natural paperboard boxes built for cafes, bakeries, and ghost kitchens that want a warm, recyclable look on every order. We manufacture them in the US from kraft paperboard and print your branding edge to edge.
The unbleached kraft surface signals a handmade, earthy feel that pairs with pastries, sandwiches, and grain bowls, while the rigid fold holds shape on a crowded counter. Add a die-cut window and customers can see a cinnamon roll or salad before they open the lid, which lifts impulse pickups at the register.

Kraft Takeaway Cartons at Service Volume
Natural kraft board reads warm under counter lighting and hides the marks that white board shows. For hot and oily menu items the board can carry a grease resistant treatment on the inner face, and vent holes let steam escape so a fried item does not go soft on the drive home.

Plan your kitchen rollout against roughly 7 business days for in-house eligible carton runs, with specialty imported formats needing something nearer 12 weeks; both are indicative windows. Dieline drawing for the carton footprint is included at no charge. Quote requests should carry portion size, carton depth, vent needs, print colors, and quantity.
