What are custom fish and chip boxes?
A fish and chip box is a printed takeaway box built around the classic chip shop portion: a piece of fish and a generous serving of chips, often with mushy peas, curry sauce or a pickled egg on the side. It gives you an alternative to wrapping in paper, and it suits customers who are driving home, walking further or ordering through a delivery app.
The box does three jobs. It keeps the portion hot, it stops grease from marking the bag and the customer's hands, and it carries your name and logo to every table, car seat and doorstep.
We size the box to your portions and the way you serve them, and recommend a board that copes with oil and steam. You test the sample with your own fish and chips before we produce.
Who uses printed fish and chip boxes?
Traditional fish and chip shops, seaside takeaways, restaurants with a takeaway menu, pubs and street food traders. Many shops use paper for eating in or a short walk, and boxes for delivery and longer journeys.

What can be customised
Size
Sized for your small, regular and large portions, with room for a full piece of fish without crushing the batter.
Printing and design
Your name, logo or a traditional pattern, on the outside and inside. Free design help available, even if you don't have a logo yet.
Material
Kraft or white board, with corrugated available where you need extra strength. Recyclable and food safe.
Grease resistance
Hot, oily food needs a board that stays firm and doesn't mark. We match it to how you cook and how far your food travels.
Fish and chip box options, explained
Box for fish and chips together
One box holds the fish and the chips. Simple to pack and easy to carry.
Boxes for chips and fish separately
Keeping the fish apart can help the batter stay crisp on longer journeys.
Kraft or white board
Kraft gives a natural, traditional look. White board gives bold colours and a cleaner finish.
Standard or heavier board
Standard board suits most portions. A heavier board helps with large portions and deliveries.
Heavier board is usually a higher gsm card, meaning thicker and stiffer.
How to choose the right fish and chip box
- 01
How big is a typical portion?
Pack a real portion into the sample. The fish should sit flat and the lid should close without squashing the batter.
- 02
Collection, delivery or both?
Boxes protect fish and chips better than paper on delivery. Many shops keep paper for the counter and use boxes for orders that travel.
- 03
How long will the food sit?
The longer the journey, the more steam builds up. Ask us about venting and board choices for delivery.
Common mistakes to avoid
Sealing very hot food tightly
Trapped steam softens batter and chips. A box that lets some steam out, or a shorter wait before closing, keeps food crisper.
A box that's too tight
Crushed batter makes a poor first impression. Size the box for your biggest portion, not your smallest.
Skipping the sample test
Test with your own fish and chips, at the temperature you serve them, before you commit to a run.

Fish and chip box FAQs
Can fish and chip boxes be printed with my shop name?
Yes. We print your name, logo or a traditional pattern, and can design the artwork with you at no extra cost.
Are the boxes grease resistant?
We recommend a board with the right level of grease resistance for your food, so boxes stay firm and clean.
Should I use boxes or chip paper?
Many shops use both. Paper suits eating in or a short walk, and boxes protect food better on delivery and longer journeys.
Can I get different sizes?
Yes. We can size boxes for small, regular and large portions. Tell us your portions in your quote request.
Can I test a sample first?
Yes. Once you're happy with the quote, we prepare a sample so you can test it with your own food before production.
Are the materials recyclable and food safe?
Yes, our materials are food safe and recyclable.
How long do custom printed fish & chip boxes take?
Production and delivery typically take 30 to 35 days from the moment you approve your sample and artwork. The quote and sample come before that, so the sooner you get in touch, the better. If you keep stock with us in UK storage, reorders don't have to wait for a new production run.
