Custom Togo Boxes

Custom togo boxes carry grab-and-go meals securely with a built-in handle and a locking lid, branding every order along the way. Grab-and-go is where most food brands win or lose repeat orders, and the togo box is the first thing a customer carries out the door. At Apexio Packaging, we make custom togo boxes in the USA from food-grade board with grease-resistant and leak-resistant liners. With zero MOQ, free design, a free 3D mockup and free US shipping, you can order one sample or a full bulk run and get the same food-safe, on-brand box.

What Are Togo Boxes?

Togo boxes are foldable, food-grade cartons, often with a gable handle and a locking top, built for takeaway and delivery. They fold up fast, lock shut with tabs or a tucked gable top, and often include a built-in handle for easy carrying. A grease-resistant or poly lining keeps hot, saucy meals contained, and the flat panels print sharply for branding. For divided or resealable meals, many kitchens add a custom takeout container alongside.

Which Businesses Use Togo Boxes

Togo boxes suit any concept built around handheld, grab-and-go and delivery service. Quick-service restaurants use them for combo meals, food trucks value the built-in handle for one-hand service, and cafes brand their grab-and-go counter. Meal-prep and delivery brands like the secure lock for transit, and caterers use larger boxes for events. With zero MOQ, a new outlet can trial one printed design first.

Togo Box Sizes and Portions

Boxes are cut to any capacity; the chart maps common ounce sizes to portions and dimensions.

Capacity (oz)	Dims (L x W x H)	Fits	Common use
16 oz	4 x 4 x 3 in	Snacks, sides	Small togo box
26 oz	5 x 4 x 3.5 in	Single meals	Standard box
46 oz	7 x 5 x 3.5 in	Mains and combos	Large box
64 oz	8 x 6 x 4 in	Family meals	Family box
Gable box	6 x 5 x 6 in	Grab-and-go meal	Handled gable

These are starting points, not limits. We size every box around your portion, add a gable handle or compartments on request, and cut custom dimensions, so food sits snug and the top still locks shut.

Food-Grade Materials for Togo Boxes

Togo boxes use food-grade paperboard, kraft or corrugated, each paired with a grease or moisture barrier.

Material / board	Weight	Barrier	Best for
Food-grade SBS paperboard	14-18pt (250-350 gsm)	Grease-resistant or PE	Printed togo boxes
Natural kraft board	14-18pt (250-350 gsm)	Grease-resistant or PLA	Eco togo boxes
Corrugated (E-flute)	approx 1.5 mm	Optional PE liner	Heavy hot mains
Recycled kraft	14-18pt (250-350 gsm)	PLA	Sustainable brands

White SBS prints the sharpest, kraft gives a natural look, and corrugated carries heavier mains. A PE or PLA liner keeps saucy meals from soaking through, much like our custom paper take out boxes. We match the board and barrier to your dish free.

Printing Options: Offset and Digital

We print togo 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, seasonal menus	No plates, fast and affordable

Offset printing uses plates for the crispest logo and steady colour across a large run, while digital printing skips plates for fast, affordable short runs and seasonal menus. Tell us the quantity and artwork, and we recommend the better route free.

Colour Options: CMYK, PMS and RGB

Togo 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, photos, gradients	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 full-colour menu art, while Pantone (PMS) matching locks a signature colour so every reprint stays consistent. RGB is screen-only, so we convert files and confirm on your proof. Our CMYK, PMS and RGB colour guide explains it simply.

Finishes and Food-Safe Coatings

Finishes set the look while coatings block grease and leaks inside the box.

Finish / coating	Effect	Best for
Matte or gloss lamination	Sets surface feel and colour pop	Retail togo boxes
Grease-resistant coating	Blocks oil soak-through	Fried and oily food
PE food-safe lining	Leak and moisture barrier	Hot, saucy meals
Uncoated kraft	Natural, eco appearance	Organic brands
Spot UV or foil stamping	Gloss or metallic logo accent	Premium branding

Most togo boxes pair a light lamination or kraft finish with a grease-resistant or PE barrier so sauce stays sealed. A foil or spot-UV logo lifts premium concepts, while uncoated kraft keeps eco lines recyclable.

Handles, Locks and Add-Ons

Add-ons make the box easier to carry, seal and vent for delivery.

Option	What it does	Best for
Built-in gable handle	Easy one-hand carry	Grab-and-go orders
Locking tab or tuck top	Seals the box shut	Delivery
Compartment dividers	Separates items and portions	Combo meals
Leak-resistant lining	Prevents sauce spills	Saucy dishes
Steam vent holes	Releases steam, stops sogginess	Hot fried food

A built-in gable handle makes meals easy to carry, while locking tabs and a leak-resistant lining keep sauce sealed in transit. Vents stop fried food steaming soggy, and the box pairs neatly with a custom Chinese takeout box for noodle sides. Ready to build yours?

Food Safety for Grab-and-Go Meals

Every togo box is food-grade and barrier-lined so hot, oily and saucy meals stay contained. Our board is food-contact rated for direct food use, in line with FDA food-contact guidance, with grease-resistant or PE liners matched to the dish. Kraft and recycled options are recyclable or compostable for eco menus, and we confirm microwave suitability where the board and coating allow it, so the box protects the meal and resists leaks on delivery.

Our Quality Review Before Production

We review every togo box for food safety, fit, print, coating and closure before it ships.

Brands that switch from plain boxes to printed ones report stronger recall and fewer leaks on the road.
