Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Sandwich Boxes
What styles of custom sandwich packaging do you manufacture?
We manufacture classic triangular sandwich wedges in standard and deep-fill depths, rectangular cartons for sourdough bloomer bread, roll-over packs for tortilla wraps, and wider boxes for artisan bagels and baguettes. All styles can be engineered with or without clear viewing windows.
Can I print nutritional information and allergen boxes on the packaging?
Yes. UK food labelling regulations require clear allergen and ingredient declarations on pre-packed food. Our high-definition printing reproduces small text as fine as 6pt with exceptional legibility, ensuring your ingredients lists, allergen warnings, and barcodes scan reliably at the till.
Will custom sandwich boxes stay rigid in refrigerated display cabinets?
Yes. We use sturdy folding paperboard engineered to maintain structural firmness in commercial chilled display units. The sturdy cardboard maintains its upright posture and clean folds without sagging or buckling under refrigerated humidity.
Are your custom sandwich wedges delivered flat-packed or pre-formed?
All sandwich boxes arrive flat-packed in tied cartons to minimise dry storage footprint in busy cafe kitchens. The cartons feature pre-creased score lines and interlocking tabs that allow kitchen staff to pop open and seal each sandwich wedge in just a few seconds.
What is the minimum order and how long does it take?
Our minimum order for custom sandwich boxes is 50 units. Standard production takes 6 to 8 working days after you approve your artwork proof, and every consignment is dispatched via free tracked UK mainland courier.
How do customers recycle their sandwich boxes after eating?
Our paperboard sandwich packs are recyclable when unlaminated. When equipped with a clear display window, the customer simply tears the clear film from the cardboard frame and places the clean, flattened cardboard directly into standard UK municipal paper recycling.
