Custom Burger Boxes

Custom burger boxes keep a burger hot, upright and grease-free, so it reaches the table looking as good as it left the kitchen. A great burger arrives flattened and soggy in the wrong box. At Apexio Packaging, we make custom burger boxes in the USA from food-grade board with grease-resistant liners and vents that release steam. Order one box or thousands with zero MOQ, free design, a free 3D mockup and free US shipping.

What Are Custom Burger Boxes?

Burger boxes are printed, food-grade clamshells built to hold a burger securely without crushing it. Most burger packaging is a hinged clamshell that opens flat and locks shut, with a tall interior so the bun keeps its shape. Food-grade board and a grease-resistant liner block oil, while small vents let steam escape so the bun stays firm. It sits within our wider custom food boxes range.

Which Businesses Use Burger Boxes

Burger boxes suit any kitchen serving burgers to go, from a food truck to a national chain. Fast-food chains and diners box single and double burgers, gourmet joints use premium print to justify the price, and food trucks need quick-fold clamshells. Ghost kitchens rely on grease-resistant boxes for delivery, and caterers pack sliders in bulk. Small vendors use our zero-MOQ policy to test a box before scaling.

Which Burger Box Style Fits Your Menu?

The right burger box style depends on burger size, heat and how far it travels.

Burger box style	Best for	Why it works
Clamshell	Single and double burgers	Opens flat, locks shut, holds heat
Tall auto-lock carton	Stacked and gourmet burgers	Protects height, quick to build
Slider multi-pack	Sliders and mini burgers	Holds several upright
Kraft clamshell	Eco and artisan brands	Natural, recyclable look

Choose the structure first, then layer size, board, print and finish. Delivery-first kitchens standardise on grease-resistant clamshells, and pair them with our custom take out boxes for a full range.

Common Custom Burger Boxes Sizes

Burger boxes are cut to any build; the chart shows the sizes kitchens request most.

Box size (L x W x H)	Fits	Common use
4.5 x 4.5 x 3 in	Single burger (6-8 oz)	Standard service
5 x 5 x 3.5 in	Double or stacked burger	Gourmet and loaded
6 x 6 x 4 in	Tall specialty burger	Premium builds
9 x 6 x 3 in	Slider four-pack	Shareable and combos

These are starting points, not limits. We size every box around your exact build, add a fry or slider compartment on request, and cut fully custom dimensions so the burger sits upright.

Food-Grade Materials and Board Options

Burger boxes use food-grade board with a grease-resistant liner, matched to heat and weight.

Material / board	Weight	Best for
SBS / food-grade cardstock	16-24pt (approx 350-520 gsm)	Printed retail clamshells
Kraft paperboard	14-24pt	Eco and artisan brands
E-flute corrugated	approx 1/16 in flute	Loaded and shipped burgers
Grease-resistant / PE-lined board	16-20pt	Juicy, greasy burgers

SBS prints the sharpest, kraft gives a natural look, and corrugated adds strength for loaded builds. A grease-resistant, PE or PLA liner keeps oil off the print, the same barrier behind our custom french fries boxes.

Printing Options: Offset and Digital

We print custom burger boxes by two methods, chosen by run size, artwork and deadline.

Printing method	Best for	Main strength
Offset printing	Larger runs, brand-colour consistency	Sharpest detail, steady colour at scale
Digital printing	Short runs, samples, new items	No plates, fast and affordable

Offset printing uses plates for the crispest detail and steady colour across a large run, while digital printing skips plates so a short seasonal special or test batch stays fast and affordable. We recommend the better route free.

Colour Options: CMYK, PMS and RGB

Custom Burger Boxes print in CMYK and match exact Pantone (PMS) brand colours, while RGB stays for on-screen design.

Colour system	Use it for	Note
CMYK	Full-colour art, food photography	Standard four-colour print
PMS (Pantone)	Exact logo and brand colours	Identical shade on every reprint
RGB	On-screen design and previews	Convert to CMYK before printing

CMYK reproduces appetising burger photography, while Pantone (PMS) matching locks your brand colour so every box matches. RGB is screen-only, so we convert files and confirm on your proof. Our colour guide explains it plainly.

Finishes and Food-Safe Coatings

Finishes make a burger box look premium and protect the print from grease and handling.

Finish / coating	Effect	Best for
Matte / gloss lamination	Sets the base surface feel	Retail and premium boxes
Aqueous coating	Food-safe protective layer	Juicy and greasy burgers
Spot UV	Glossy accent on a matte base	Logos and highlights
Uncoated kraft	Natural, breathable surface	Artisan brands

An aqueous coating adds food-safe protection against grease, matte feels premium, and gloss makes food photos pop. Spot UV and foil lift gourmet lines, while kraft stays uncoated for an eco look.

Windows, Inserts and Add-Ons

Vents, inserts and add-ons keep the burger hot, upright and easy to carry.

Option	What it does	Best for
Grease-resistant inner liner	Blocks oil and moisture	Every burger
Ventilation holes	Releases steam, keeps bun firm	Hot burgers
Fry / side compartment	Holds a side portion	Combo meals
Carry handle	Easy transport	Takeaway and delivery

A grease-resistant liner keeps the box clean, vents stop the bun going soggy, and a side compartment turns a burger into a combo. Many brands add these to our cardboard food boxes for a full menu.

Food Safety and Compliance

Burger boxes should be food-safe first, pairing food-grade board with honest eco claims. Burgers touch the board directly, so we build with food-grade stock and food-safe inks and coatings, in line with FDA food-packaging guidance. Kraft and recycled board recycle easily, and we keep claims specific under the FTC Green Guides, with EPA recycling guidance for context.
