Custom Waffle Packaging is a custom-printed paperboard folding carton for waffle shops, dessert bars, and breakfast spots that serve waffles to go. Built from sturdy SBS or kraft paperboard and printed in full-color CMYK, with an FSC-certified paperboard option.
A right-sized carton keeps a warm waffle steady on the way out the door and gives you a printed surface for your logo and toppings menu. Use it for plated Belgian waffles, stacked toaster-style waffles, or a waffle-and-fruit combo at a weekend pop-up.

Waffle Packaging Runs from Trial to Truckload
Street style waffle service leans on three formats: a hinged tray for eat now orders, a printed sleeve that bands a stacked pair, and flat wrap sheets with a grease holding barrier layer. All three can carry the same artwork so the counter looks coordinated.
| Units | Waffle format advice per tier |
|---|---|
| 50 | Enough for a soft opening weekend at one stand. |
| 500 | Trays and sleeves can be ordered together against one artwork set. |
| 1,000 | Window film cutouts stop adding noticeable cost at this depth. |
| 5,000 | Board sheets get nested tighter, so material yield improves. |
| 10,000+ | Chain supply scale, landing from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Take 7 business days, give or take, as the planning figure for in-house eligible formats; specialty imported constructions plan nearer 12 weeks, and neither is guaranteed. The dieline for your tray or sleeve is drawn free of charge. Quotes move fastest when you attach dimensions, format choice, artwork, and volume.
