Branded Takeaway Packaging — Part 3: Chicken, Salads, Ghost Kitchens

Branded Takeaway Packaging — Part 3: Chicken, Salads, Ghost Kitchens

Great food earns the first order. Great packaging earns the next one. Every box, cup, bag and bowl you hand across the counter or drop into a delivery bag is a few more minutes with your logo in someone's hands — on the tram, at the desk, on the sofa. That is the cheapest, most repeated advertising your brand will ever run, and it is exactly what BistroPack is built to help you own.

BistroPack is a producer of corrugated and food-grade packaging with more than twenty years behind it, already trusted by over 600 food brands. 

Standard, unprinted stock you can order today; pre-printed boxes that ship with a ready-made factory design; custom 1–3 colour prints in Pantone for clean logo work; and custom unlimited all-over CMYK print when you want the whole surface to be yours. Add a matt or glossy varnish, pick Brown or White board, and our team turns your artwork into a free 3D mockup before anything goes to press.

Part 3 closes the guide with the formats built for volume and delivery: chicken and buckets, healthy bowls, ghost-kitchen kits and catering at scale.

Chicken Concepts

Who it's for: fried-chicken shops, wings concepts, chicken-and-fries kitchens and bucket-style family deals.


Fried chicken is the ultimate test of packaging: it has to stay crisp, vent steam and survive a delivery ride. BistroPack's chicken & hot-food boxes are vented trapezoid cartons in three sizes (roughly 800–1400 ml) that let steam escape so the coating stays crunchy instead of sweating soft. For family and sharing formats, chicken buckets come in three generous capacities — 60, 85 and 130 oz — with optional lids, ideal for wings, tenders and mixed buckets.

Fries and sides ride along in open-scoop fry boxes across five sizes, and everything carries out in branded paper takeout bags. Chicken boxes come in Brown Kraft or White; buckets in clean white that shows off a bold, appetite-driving print. Blank, 1–3 colour or full all-over — a vented bucket in your brand colours is one of the most recognisable objects a chicken shop can put on a counter.


Salad & Healthy-Food Concepts

Who it's for: salad bars, poke and grain-bowl brands, health-food kitchens and lunch-focused delis.


Healthy food sells on freshness and honesty, and kraft packaging says both before a word is read. BistroPack's round salad & food bowls span five sizes from a side-salad 450 ml to a hearty 1300 ml main, with bespoke sizes on request — deep enough to toss, wide enough to photograph. Choose natural Brown Kraft for an earthy, wholesome cue or clean White to let vibrant ingredients do the talking.

Pair every bowl with a clear lid — flat or domed, in PE, PS or crystal-clear PET, from Ø 90 mm up to Ø 184 mm to match the whole 240–1000 ml+ range — so the contents sell themselves through the film and stay sealed for delivery. Warm menus lean on the matching soup bowls (350–1100 ml) with their own snap-on lids. A logo printed once, in one or two colours, ties the whole lunch line together across bowls and lids.

Ghost Kitchens & Delivery-First Brands

Who it's for: delivery-only kitchens, virtual brands, multi-brand kitchens and any concept where the packaging is the storefront.

If a customer never sees your counter, the box is your brand. BistroPack's delivery kit is engineered for exactly that. Eco-kraft takeaway boxes in three sizes (800/1080/1400 ml) are the sustainable, all-rounder hot-food container; premium takeaway meal boxes in five sizes give a crisp, mailer-style presentation that photographs like a gift; and handled cake / hot-food boxes carry heavier orders level and clean.

Everything leaves the kitchen in a branded paper takeout bag (seven sizes, 6–23 litres) — choose a flat handle, a twisted rope handle for a premium retail feel, or a handless block-bottom bag for speed — and is sealed with custom stickers & labels — circle, oval, square, rectangle or custom-cut, in glossy, matte, kraft-brown or metallic finishes with unlimited-colour print — that double as tamper-evidence and the finishing brand touch. If you want brand recognition without full-colour cost, the branded 2-colour bag option prints a clean logo front and back. Because delivery-first brands live or die on that unboxing moment, this is the range where full all-over CMYK print earns its keep: the whole surface, inside and out, working as your shopfront on someone else's doorstep.



Catering & Event Services

Who it's for: caterers, event and festival vendors, office-lunch suppliers and any kitchen packing in volume.

Catering is logistics with flavour, and it rewards packaging that's consistent, stackable and quick to pack. BistroPack supports high-volume service with bulk pre-printed pizza boxes in 100-per-pack cartons, premium meal boxes in five sizes for individually plated portions, and large paper takeout bags and SOS bags for moving many covers at once without the pile toppling.

Food trays in four sizes carry sharing plates and buffet portions, and sustainable birch wooden cutlery sets — fork, knife and spoon with a serviette, packed 250 to a pack, or single forks, spoons and knives 100 to a box — keep place settings tidy, FSC-certified and plastic-free. Order it blank for neutral white-label events or printed with your catering brand for weddings, festivals and corporate accounts. Low minimums and fast production mean you can scale up for a one-off event without overstocking afterwards.



How ordering works

Every product family on this page follows the same simple path. Choose your size from the range shown, choose your material — natural Brown Kraft or clean White board — and choose how far you want to take the print. On the standard side you can order stock with no print at all in its natural finish, or a pre-printed line that ships with a ready-made factory design and no setup on your end. On the custom side, a 1–3 colour print puts a crisp Pantone logo on kraft or white, unlimited all-over wraps the whole surface in full-colour CMYK, and the 3D online configurator lets you place your logo, colours and finish and see the result rotate in real time before you commit.

Not sure which board suits your colours, or how a design will wrap around a cup or a bucket? Send us the artwork and we'll build a free 3D proof and recommend the material that makes your colours sing — brighter and more vibrant on White, warmer and more natural on Brown Kraft. Every order is checked against a clear quality standard and only goes to production after your final approval, so what you see is what you get.
