Why Choose Haul Packaging's Paper Food Packaging Boxes?

In a market flooded with options, Haul Packaging stands out by committing to three core principles:

• Uncompromising Quality: Our sturdy food boxes are designed to prevent leaks and smogs, ensuring your culinary creations arrive perfectly.
• Sustainable Sourcing: We prioritize eco-friendly food packaging made from recycled materials and FSC-certified kraft paper, with many BPI-certified compostable options.
• Customer-Centric Solutions: From wholesale bulk pricing to seamless custom printed food boxes, we provide solutions that scale with your business.

1. Understanding the Materials: What Are Your Food Boxes Made Of?

The material of your takeout boxes directly impacts food safety, durability, and environmental footprint. We offer two primary material choices:

Kraft Paper Boxes

Kraft paper is renowned for its natural, rustic appearance and exceptional strength. Our kraft paper is sourced from sustainable forestry initiatives (SFI/SFC).

• Appearance: Natural brown, earthy tone that conveys an organic, artisanal feel.
• Strength: The kraft process creates robust fibers, resulting in a sturdy food container that resists tearing.
• Eco-Friendliness: Fully biodegradable and often made with high post-consumer recycled (PCR) content. Ideal for businesses promoting a zero-waste ethos.

White Kraft & Grease-Resistant Paperboard

For a cleaner, more premium look or for greasy foods, our white kraft and grease-resistant options are perfect.

• Appearance: Bright white printable surface, excellent for showcasing vibrant custom logos.
• Functionality: Treated with a food-safe coating or clay layer to prevent oil and grease from seeping through, making them ideal for pizza boxes, French fry cones, and fried foods.
• Lining Options: Many of our boxes feature a PLA Lining (Polylactic Acid), a bio-based polymer derived from corn starch. This lining provides a leak-proof barrier and is compostable in commercial facilities.

Wrap your creations with our eco-friendly Sandwich Wrap Paper, designed to keep your sandwiches fresh and mess-free.

2. Types & Styles of Paper Food Containers

We offer a diverse portfolio of paper food container styles to suit any culinary application.

• Clamshell Boxes: The most popular style for takeout boxes. Their hinged design allows for easy one-handed opening and closing, making them perfect for burgers, sandwiches, salads, and appetizers.
• Hinged-Lid Boxes (Two-Piece): These feature a separate base and lid, offering a more formal presentation. Excellent for bakery boxes for cakes, pastries, and cupcakes, as well as full meals.
• Classic "Oyster Pail" Chinese Takeout Boxes: An iconic and space-efficient design that is instantly recognizable. Great for noodles, rice dishes, and stir-fries.
• Fry Containers & French Fry Cones: The classic paper cone with a stand, perfect for serving fries, onion rings, or other side dishes at food trucks and concession stands.
• Windowed Boxes: Allow customers to see the product inside without opening the box, ideal for bakery items like cookies and muffins, enhancing visual appeal.
