Brown Kraft Lunch Box

What Is a Kraft Lunch Box?

A kraft lunch box is a folding takeaway box made from brown kraft paperboard. The inside is coated to resist grease and moisture, and the lid folds over and tucks in, so there is no separate lid to manage. The boxes arrive flat and fold into shape in seconds.

What Are Kraft Lunch Boxes Used For?

• Hot Meals: Rice and curry, stir-fries, noodles, fried chicken and burgers travel well in a kraft lunch box.
• Salads and Cold Food: Salads, grain bowls, wraps and sandwiches look fresh and natural in brown kraft.
• Catering and School Lunches: Caterers and canteens use them for individual lunches, bento-style meals and kids’ meal deals.

Which Kraft Lunch Box Size Do You Need?

Choose the size based on your most popular dish.

• Small boxes suit snacks, sides and kids’ meals.
• Medium boxes suit most single mains.
• Large boxes suit big mains, combo meals and catering portions.

A box that is too large lets food slide around in transit, and one that is too small squashes garnishes. Check dimensions on each listing.

Kraft Lunch Box or Plastic Container?

Plastic tubs seal tightly and suit liquid dishes like soup. Kraft lunch boxes suit drier meals, look more natural, and are made mainly from renewable paperboard. Many businesses use kraft for most of the menu and keep a sealed container for soups.

Branding Your Lunch Boxes

Plain brown kraft looks good on its own. A branded sticker on the lid adds your logo, seals the box and shows the customer it has not been opened, all without the cost of a custom print run.

Packing Tips for Delivery

Pack saucy dishes so the sauce sits under the rice or noodles rather than against the walls of the box. Press the lid tab in firmly so it stays closed in the delivery bag, and keep boxes flat during transport. For meals with a crisp element, such as fried chicken, leave a little room so steam can escape and the coating stays crunchy.

Storing Kraft Lunch Boxes

Keep cartons flat in a dry storeroom away from steam and dish areas, since moisture softens paperboard and makes the boxes harder to fold.

Kraft Lunch Boxes for Meal Prep and Canteens

Meal prep businesses and school canteens rely on consistent portions. Using the same size kraft lunch box for each menu item makes portioning simpler and helps keep food costs predictable. Label each box with the meal name, date and any allergens, and store finished meals flat in the fridge. For canteens, a small and a medium box usually cover most kids’ and adults’ meals. Kraft boxes also stack well on trolleys and in delivery crates, which matters when hundreds of meals need to leave the kitchen at the same time each day.
