What are meal deal boxes?
A meal deal box holds a main and a side in one pack, usually with a divider or separate compartments so the fries don't end up in the sauce and the burger doesn't sit on the chips.
It's a practical choice for combo meals because it means one item to pack instead of two or three. That's faster for your team at the pass, tidier in the delivery bag, and it presents the meal as a single branded product.
The right meal box depends on what goes in it. We'll look at your main, your side portions and how the meal is sold, then recommend a layout, size and strength. You approve a sample with your own food before production.
Who uses printed meal boxes?
Burger shops, chicken shops, kebab and wrap takeaways and any business that sells combo meals or kids' meals. They're popular with delivery-led kitchens because one box is quicker to pack and harder to get wrong.
What meal deal boxes are suitable for
- Burger and fries
- Wrap and side
- Chicken pieces and chips
- Kids' meals
- Main with salad or coleslaw
- Sauce pots alongside a main
What can be customised
Layout and compartments
One open space, a divider, or separate compartments for main, side and sauce. We'll suggest what keeps your meal in good shape.
Size
Sized around your actual portions, so the side fits without squashing the main.
Printing and design
Branding on the outside, and the inside if you want. Free design support if you don't have artwork.
Strength
A full meal is heavier than a single item. We'll recommend a board that holds it without bending when carried.
Venting
Fried food can go soft if steam is trapped. Vents or an open section can help keep fries crisper.
Meal deal box options, explained
Two-compartment box
A main on one side, a side on the other. The most common choice for burger and fries.
Multi-compartment box
Extra space for a sauce pot, dessert or second side. Useful for family or kids' meals.
Single space with divider
More flexible if your combos change, while still keeping food apart.
Stronger board for delivery
For heavier meals or long delivery journeys, a more rigid board keeps the box flat and closed.
Often a thin corrugated board, which adds rigidity and helps keep heat in.
How to choose the right meal deal box
- 01
What's in your most popular combo?
Start with the meal you sell most. Its main and side sizes decide the layout.
- 02
Do sides need to stay crisp?
Fries and fried chicken benefit from venting or separation from wetter food.
- 03
How is it sold?
Delivery meals need a closed, stronger box. Counter meals can use a lighter one.
- 04
Do you want one box for several meals?
A flexible layout can cover more combos with one product, which keeps ordering and storage simpler.
Common mistakes to avoid
Sizing for the main and forgetting the side
A box that fits the burger but squashes a large portion of fries leads to complaints. Size for the full meal.
Trapping steam
Hot fries sealed in a closed space go soft. Ask about venting if crispness matters to you.
Too many box variations
A different box for every combo makes ordering and storage harder. One well designed layout can often cover several meals.
Meal deal box FAQs
Can meal deal boxes have compartments?
Yes. We can make boxes with a divider or separate compartments for your main, side and sauce.
Can you make a meal box in a custom size?
Yes. Tell us what goes in your meal and your portion sizes, and we'll recommend the dimensions.
Can meal deal boxes be printed?
Yes, with your logo and branding. We can help design the artwork at no extra cost.
Will fries stay crisp in a meal box?
It depends on how long the food is in the box and how much steam is trapped. Venting and separating fries from wetter food helps. We'll advise on what suits your meals.
What if I'm not sure what layout I need?
Tell us your combos and how you sell them, and we'll recommend a layout. You'll test a sample before production.
