Restaurant & Café Packaging
Restaurant and café packaging is part of the service—not an afterthought. Start with the order type and how it will be served, then add printing that keeps your identity clear in-store and in transit.
Match packaging to the order
| Order type | Where to start | What to review |
|---|---|---|
| Single meal or burger | Meal box or burger box | Finished meal dimensions and height after toppings. |
| Multi-item meal | Rectangular or divided box | Room for sauces, fries and cutlery. |
| Takeaway drinks | Cup and cup carrier | Cup size, drinks per order and carrying method. |
| Full delivery order | Takeaway box or bag | Closure stability and space for a label or receipt. |
Heat, sauces and delivery are details worth sharing
Describe the food before a packaging format is chosen: is it served hot, does it include sauces, how long will it travel and does it need ventilation? These details make it possible to review the material, closure and dimensions around the real order rather than choosing a box by appearance alone.
Start with the relevant product family
Browse food and meal packaging for meal-serving formats and cups and drinkware for café orders. If you pair coffee with sweets or small gifts, you may also want to align the identity with coffee and roastery packaging.
Make every item feel like part of the restaurant
You do not need to print every surface. A logo, brand colours, a contact point or a short message in the areas that remain visible after folding and closing can be enough. A shared visual system across boxes, cups and bags creates a more consistent experience, even when each order is different.
Before you ask for a quote
- The order type and a rough photo of the meal or drink.
- The required dimensions or the product measurements after preparation.
- Quantity and delivery city.
- Your logo, brand colours or finished artwork.
- Any special requirement, such as dividers or space for a label.
Frequently asked questions
Can boxes, cups and bags be designed as one set?
Yes. Send the logo, colours and required items so a coordinated set can be considered for your intended use.
How do I choose a meal-box size?
Measure the finished meal, including fries, sauces and cutlery where relevant. Testing a sample is useful before production.
Can I order one item first?
Yes. You can begin with a single item and extend the identity to additional packaging as the restaurant or café needs it.
