Kraft Corrugated Clamshells, Boxes And Trays

What Is Kraft Corrugated Packaging?

Corrugated board has a wavy fluted layer sandwiched between two flat sheets of kraft paper. It is the same structure as a shipping carton, but with a finer flute for food. The fluted layer traps air, which insulates hot food, and it makes the box far stronger than single-layer cardboard.

What Are Kraft Corrugated Boxes Used For?

• Burgers and Burger Meals: Kraft corrugated clamshells hold their shape, lock shut with a tab and let a little steam escape so buns stay soft without going soggy.
• Fried Chicken and Share Boxes: Larger kraft corrugated boxes suit wings, chicken pieces, family meals and combo orders, and can be stacked several high.
• Loaded Fries and Street Food: Open kraft corrugated trays suit nachos, loaded fries, hot dogs and snacks served at markets and festivals.

Which Corrugated Container Do You Need?

• Clamshells for single burgers, sandwiches and small meals
• Boxes for share meals, family orders and combos
• Trays for open serves eaten on the spot

Corrugated or Single-Layer Cardboard?

Single-layer cardboard is thinner and cheaper, which suits light snacks. Corrugated kraft holds heat better, resists crushing and handles heavy, saucy food, so it is the better choice for burgers and delivery orders that travel.

Why Choose Kraft Over Foam?

Expanded polystyrene food containers are banned in Victoria. Corrugated kraft is made from a renewable material, has a natural look that suits burgers and street food, and clean boxes can go in paper recycling.

Matching Boxes to Your Menu

Lay out your menu and decide which item goes in which container. Burgers and toasties usually suit a clamshell. Wings and family meals suit a larger box. Loaded fries and nachos eaten on site suit an open tray. Having three clear options keeps portion sizes consistent and stops staff reaching for an oversized box for a small order, which saves real money over a busy trading week.

Packing Tips

Line boxes with greaseproof paper for very saucy food to keep the board clean. Fold a stack of boxes before service so staff are ready when the Friday night rush hits. Keep cartons dry and off the floor, since moisture softens corrugated board and makes the tabs harder to lock.

Packaging for Delivery App Orders

Delivery app orders can sit in a bag for some time before reaching the customer, so packaging has to work harder. Corrugated kraft holds heat and keeps its shape when orders are stacked in a driver’s insulated bag. Close every clamshell firmly so tabs do not pop open, and put sauces in separate cups. Add a sticker across the box to show the order has not been opened. Good packaging leads to better reviews, since customers often rate the condition of their food as much as the taste, and it reduces refund requests through delivery platforms.
