Recyclability follows How2Recycle and FTC Green Guides: uncoated and varnished board is widely recyclable when clean and dry, while plastic-film-laminated board carries a Check Locally label. Foil, metallization, soft-touch lamination, plastic windows, and heavy specialty coatings can reduce or complicate paper recycling.

Got questions? We've got answers.
Do frozen foods need an inner tray or pouch inside the carton?
Yes. A folding carton is typically secondary packaging around a sealed tray, pouch, bag, or wrapped product. The primary pack should provide the required food-contact, moisture, grease, or leak barrier, while the carton adds branding, structure, and retail presentation.
Will the carton hold up to condensation and freezer handling?
The right board and finish can help with scuffing, moisture exposure, and repeated handling, but freezer conditions vary. Test the finished carton with your actual pack-out, freezer orientation, and handling cycle before bulk production.
Can you size custom frozen food boxes around my tray, pouch, or pizza?
Yes. Build the carton around the packed dimensions of your sealed tray, pouch, pizza, wrapped product, or multipack. We recommend confirming fit and closure with a production sample before a full run.
What is the minimum order for custom frozen food boxes?
Orders start from 100 units. Pricing depends on box size, board, printing, finish, quantity, and shipping, so you can compare options before committing to a larger run.
Can I print cooking instructions, nutrition information, allergens, and barcodes?
Yes. Use the carton panels for product details, cooking and storage instructions, nutrition information, allergens, barcodes, and other required content. Review panel hierarchy and artwork in 3D before production, and confirm final labeling requirements for each sales market.
Can I test a frozen food box before placing a bulk order?
Yes. Order a production sample to check carton size, board feel, print, closure, and fit with your actual product. For frozen applications, test the complete pack-out under the intended freezer and handling conditions.
Are custom frozen food boxes recyclable?
It depends on the paperboard, coatings, adhesives, and local recycling program. If recyclability is a priority, choose the board and finish with your target market in mind and confirm local acceptance before making recycling claims.
