Custom Sandwich Boxes: Printed, Food-Safe & Sustainable Packaging
Your sandwich is the product, but your box is the first thing customers see. Custom sandwich boxes let you control both. You choose the size, the board, the window and the print. As a result, the box fits your sandwich, not the other way round.
This guide is for UK cafés, delis, bakeries and caterers. It shows you how to pick the right structure, material and size. It also explains food-contact and labelling rules in plain terms. When you are ready, you can request a quote.
What Are Custom Sandwich Boxes?
Custom sandwich boxes are made-to-order food packaging built around the size and shape of your sandwiches. You can choose the board, the structure, the window and the printed design. They suit cafés, delis, bakeries and food-to-go brands that want a secure fit and a branded look.
Standard boxes come in set sizes. For example, a thick toastie or a long panini often slides around inside them. A box made to your measurements holds the sandwich still. As a result, the fillings stay neat and the bread stays intact. It also gives you a clean surface for your logo, product name and label.
Why Choose Custom Sandwich Packaging?
- Secure fit: the sandwich stays in place from the counter to the customer’s desk.
- Clear branding:custom printed sandwich boxes carry your logo and colours on every sale.
- Better visibility: a window lets shoppers see the filling before they buy.
- Easy storage: folding cartons usually arrive flat, so they take up little shelf space.
- Consistent presentation: every sandwich leaves your counter looking the same.
Choose the Right Sandwich Box for Your Product
Because each sandwich type needs a different structure, use this table as a starting point for your custom sandwich boxes. It works for all sandwich packaging boxes.
| Your product | Recommended structure | What to check |
| Triangle sandwiches | Wedge box | Shape and filling visibility |
| Standard sandwiches | Rectangular box | Width and depth |
| Thick sandwiches | Deep box | Filling height |
| Paninis | Longer box | Full product length |
| Bagels | Bespoke box | Round shape and extra depth |
| Several sandwiches | Larger catering box | Capacity and stacking |
Not sure which row matches your product? Send us your sandwich dimensions. We will suggest a suitable structure. Our range of custom food boxes also covers other menu items.
Custom Sandwich Box Materials
Board choice affects the look, the strength and the way your custom sandwich boxes handle moisture. Here is when each option makes sense.
Kraft Board
Kraft has a natural brown finish. It also suits cafés and delis with a rustic or eco-minded brand. Kraft sandwich boxes pair well with simple one- or two-colour artwork. See our custom kraft boxes for more options.
White Paperboard
White board has a smooth, bright surface. As a result, colours print sharply on it. Cardboard sandwich boxes in white work best for full-colour designs and photographic artwork.
Food-Grade Paperboard
Butter, mayonnaise and warm fillings can leave grease marks. Moisture can also soften plain board. Food-grade, grease-resistant board helps the box keep its shape and its print. So always ask for the board specification before you order.
Corrugated Board
Corrugated board adds rigidity. It suits large catering boxes that need stacking or delivery.
Custom Sandwich Boxes With Windows
Sandwich boxes with window panels sell the product for you. Customers see the filling, so they choose faster. This works well on grab-and-go shelves and chilled displays.
However, window position also matters. Place it where the filling shows, not just the crust. Keep it clear of fold lines, because a very large cut-out can weaken the box. Ask which window material is used and how to dispose of it. Our custom window boxes show more cut-out styles.
Custom Printing and Finishing Options
Print turns a plain carton into a brand asset. With printed sandwich boxes, you can add:
- Full-colour CMYK artwork and your logo
- Product names, flavours or menu icons
- Matte finishes to cut glare under display lights
- Gloss finishes to make colours stand out
- Special finishes, such as foil or embossing, where available
Plan space for your label too. Our custom printed paper packaging page explains more about artwork and print methods.
How to Choose the Right Sandwich Box Size
Size is the most important choice for custom sandwich boxes. For custom size sandwich boxes, follow these steps:
- Measure the finished sandwich, not the ingredients.
- Record the length, the width and the height at the thickest point.
- Add a small gap so the sandwich slides in without squashing.
- Decide how the sandwich will sit: flat, upright or on its side.
- Check how the boxes will be displayed and stacked.
However, a tight box crushes the bread, while a loose box lets the filling shift. In fact, filling height is the figure most people miss.
Sandwich Boxes for Cafés, Delis, Bakeries and Catering
Cafés: quick assembly and a strong brand look at the counter. Pair them with custom takeaway boxes for hot items.
Delis and sandwich shops: several sandwich sizes, so you may need more than one box style.
Bakeries: baguettes, rolls and filled pastries. Our custom bakery boxes sit well alongside them.
Caterers: shared platters and boxed lunches. See our custom catering boxes and custom food trays for events.
Food-to-go brands: a window and a clear label help products sell from a shelf.
Food Contact and UK Labelling Considerations
Packaging that touches food must be suitable for food use. GOV.UK advises businesses to use packaging marked for food contact or carrying the glass-and-fork symbol. That is why food-safe sandwich boxes matter for every food business.
However, labelling is a separate point. Sandwiches packed on site before a customer selects them are called PPDS food (prepacked for direct sale). The label must show the name of the food and a full ingredients list. Allergens must be emphasised in that list. This rule is often called Natasha’s Law.
A box does not make your product compliant by itself, so leave clear space for the label. This section is general information, not legal advice. GOV.UK updated its PPDS guidance in July 2026, so check the latest version before you finalise your design.
Sustainable Sandwich Packaging
Paper and cardboard are widely recycled in the UK. Government data shows 4.84 million tonnes of paper and cardboard packaging waste in 2024. About 4.07 million tonnes were recycled, a rate of 84.1%. Meanwhile, provisional 2025 figures show a rate of 80.3%.
However, these figures describe the material, not every box. Windows, coatings and food residue can change how a box is recycled. Ask us about options for recyclable sandwich packaging, and check your local council’s rules.

What are custom sandwich boxes?
They are made-to-order boxes designed around your sandwiches. You choose the size, board, structure, window and print. They suit cafés, delis, bakeries and caterers that want a secure fit and a branded look.
Can custom sandwich boxes be made in different sizes?
Yes. Give us the length, width and height of your finished sandwich. We can then suggest box dimensions with a small gap for easy loading. Different products, such as wedges and paninis, can use different sizes.
Can I print my branding and artwork on sandwich boxes?
Yes. You can print your logo, colours and product details in full colour. Matte and gloss finishes are available. Send your artwork and we will share a proof for approval before production.
Can sandwich boxes have a window?
Yes. A window shows the filling and helps customers choose. We will place it away from fold lines so the box stays strong. Ask about window materials and how to dispose of them.
What material is best for sandwich packaging?
No single board suits every product. For example, kraft gives a natural look, while white board suits bright print. Food-grade, grease-resistant board helps with buttery fillings. Corrugated board suits large catering boxes.
Are custom sandwich boxes suitable for food contact?
Packaging for food must be suitable for food use, according to GOV.UK. Look for the food-contact marking or the glass-and-fork symbol. Ask us for the board specification before you order.

Endless Customisation Available For Sandwich Boxes
Offset Print
If you’re looking for large-volume packaging materials, choose offset printing! This printing method produces clean, crisp, and brilliant results. It uses plates to transfer ink to paper, so it is economical for printing in bulk. The process provides accurate color, professional quality, and an outstanding look and feel, which is ideal for cutting custom box designs.
Digital Print
Digital printing works well for short runs and quick turn times. It doesn’t use printing plates, but instead prints directly from a computer file. It is cheap for small amounts and gives good resolution. It’s ideal for custom designs, variable data or limited edition packaging that requires speed and flexibility.
UV Print
UV printing is a process that uses ultraviolet light to dry and cure the ink as it is printed. It easily operates on traditional and non-traditional materials. This process adds to the visual appeal of such packages, as well as their durability, and packages that require a combination of both texture and shine are perfect candidates for such execution.
Pantone
Pantone printing is based on a standardized color matching system to guarantee an exact color match between jobs. It’s great for keeping brand colors perfect. Pantone ink is mixed using Pantone formula guides developed through spot printing for color accuracy that is reported as second to none. For luxury packaging that demands trustworthy, uniform, and sumptuous color from the start.
C1S
C1S is an acronym for “Coated One Side,” as the paperboard is glossy on one side and uncoated on the reverse. It is wonderful in packaging where you need a printed, high-end, printable side outside, and you may want the inside to be writable or matte. Perfect for handcraft, small business and so on, ideal for packaging boxes, shelves, product tags with a polished look.
C2S
C2S, which stands for “Coated Two Sides”, has a smooth and shiny coating on both sides of the paperboard. This is why it is ideal for stunning full-color printing, regardless of whether you are an individual or a company. Retail packaging, brochures, and cosmetics boxes that require a high-quality, high-gloss finish both inside and out use C2S.
White Kraft
White Kraft is similar to traditional Kraft, but with a printable white surface. It features a crisp white surface that produces sharp and clear prints, making it perfect for high-quality images. This is a material commonly used to manufacture sustainable packaging, which is required to have attractive prints for a professional brand image.
Kraft Paper
Kraft paper is natural brown and unbleached. Thai material is derived from wood pulp and is recyclable. Companies that want to attract eco-conscious consumers prefer Kraft material. It has a rough texture, which is perfect for handcrafted items for a rustic look and protective packaging.
Coated Kraft (CCK)
This paper is brown Kraft with a smooth, white clay-coated surface that enhances the appearance of whatever you print on it. It offers a sleek look that is ideal for graphics, prints and text branding. This hybrid design is perfect for packaging that requires both sustainability and sharp visual branding.
Color Woodfree
Color Woodfree paper has a smooth dyed surface that is free of wood fibres, for a clean finish. It is typically acid-free, and both image and color remain crisp. Ideal for presentation packaging, greeting cards, and custom box lining, where a consistent, solid color and luxurious finish are needed.
CCNB
CCNB (Clay Coated News Backboard) is made from recycled paper and has a clay-coated white backing for printing. The back remains gray or brown, preserving its eco-friendly nature. It is a very cost-effective substrate and is used extensively in folding cartons, retail packaging, and food service boxes, where low printing costs and moderate strength are the primary concerns.
Black Cardboard
Black cardstock is 100% black for a rich look that is both professional and elegant. It’s rigid and robust. It creates exceptional luxury product boxes and helps in premium branding. The materials’ smooth and matte surface is suitable for foil stamping and other premium finishes to add class and quality.
Glossy Lamination
Glossy lamination is used to give a shiny surface to the custom boxes. This coating is also an excellent option to protect the material from scratches. If you want to give your boxes a professional finish and protection from scratches, then gloss lamination is an ideal option. The high quality of the lamination protects the packaging material from moisture and enhances its longevity.
Matte Lamination
The covering is a matte lamination to give a smooth surface with a non-glossy finish, with a premium feeling. It can lower glare and has a soothing quality to particular colors. This finish is frequently used when a modern, subtle appearance is required and a sound, protective barrier is necessary to help resist smudging, light scratching and light abrasion while still offering the look of natural wood grain.
Soft Touch Lamination
The velvet-like feel makes it soft to the touch, lamination and creates an amazing tactile sensation. The surface feels good and is easy to hold. It increases tactile interaction and reinforces a brand message with elegant visuals, yet it is still durable; resists moisture, wear, and. damage during handling.
Anti-scratch Lamination
Anti-scratch lamination resists scratches, prevents scratches, and reduces the visibility of scratches. It holds up better with dust. This finish is also excellent for packaging applications in which the item needs to be kept in prime condition via handling and shipping, and for the retail shelf, where resistance to wear and durability are a must for on-shelf appearance and quality control.
UV Varnishing
UV Varnishing is a high-gloss coating that adds depth and appeal to the printed image. Cured with Ultraviolet light to be hard and ready to use. This process creates a very distinctive, eye-catching appearance and provides additional protection. It also has the added benefit of hiding light scratches, fingerprints and dirt.
Machine Varnishing
Machine varnishing provides the packaging with an even finish that is applied during production. It beautifies your surfaces and lasts up to 15 years. Its finish is consistently good on large runs, and provides for good smoothness, clarity, and slight gloss increase as well as improved resistance to minor wear and dulling over time.
Calendering Varnishing
Varnishing calendering is the process that gives gloss and smoothness with heat and pressure. It also helps to crisp up printed detail and feels more professional. This process enhances details and gives an inviting feel to the printed product for premium quality presentation packaging.
Water-Base finishing
Water-based coating offers a protective and environmentally safe coating that is also strong and long-lasting. It provides a matt/natural or gloss/soft gloss finish effect without being applied using hazardous materials. This option is perfect for companies that value environmental consciousness and are in need of a smooth surface that is reflective as well as protective.
Water Base Ink
Ecologically friendly water-based ink that is non-toxic and gentle on skin. It is suitable for different kinds of printing processes, including superior carton printing quality.
Soy Ink
Soy ink is manufactured with soybeans and is sustainable in nature. This ink has the ability to give vibrant colors and impactful designs that give your custom printed boxes an alluring look. It has a much smaller carbon footprint as compared to petroleum-based inks.
Fluorescent Ink
Fluorescent ink gives designs that glow under UV light and create a catchy design. This ink is ideal for special effects, as well as for producing prints that pop. It is commonly used in posters, labels, signs and other marketing materials which must be read easily in a variety of conditions.
Oil Base Ink
This kind of ink uses petroleum and is becoming popular simply because it is durable and of high-quality color. Exhibiting excellent print resolution and high-standard graphics quality. Oil-based ink gives perfect quality images, especially on porous surfaces that are otherwise hard to print. But it has a greater environmental impact in terms of its chemistry.
Foil Stamping
In foil stamping, heat is used to transfer ink to the surface. You can get matte to gloss and holographic images on your packaging. Foil stamping outshines your packaging among the other brands and gives a high-end look to your product.
Spot UV / Spot Gloss
In spot UV, a polished layer is applied to specific areas of packaging. This is an ideal option to build contrast and textures. If you want to accentuate your logo and other designs, then spot UV is a good option.
Blind Embossing
A blind emboss is an image that is pressed into the paper or card without the use of ink or foil. It has a raised or recessed quality, which makes the material look elegant and refined. This velvet touch lamination is commonly used on branding or invites, adding a tactile feel to the design.
Blind Debossing
Blind debossing is a form of blind embossing as you create a depressed image into the material, instead of an embossed one. It’s commonly used for soft branding or high-end packaging and returns a smooth and sophisticated feel to your designs.
Stamping Embossing
Embossing stamping combines stamping and embossing to produce a raised pattern or logo. It adds an ink stamp or foil technique decoration, great for luxury business cards, invitation cards, and packaging details, both textured and detailed.
Flocking
Flocking is the act of adhering small fibers to the surface of an article of fabric or other material. This process allows for the printed material to have a soft hand and be slightly indented into the product it is printed on, and is typically reserved for greeting cards, packaging or limited garment decoration. It creates a lush feel and lavish touch.
Textured Embossing
Emboss textures are a raised or indented pattern in a graphic, giving an elegant look for print. The effect is typically used for branding and to add detail to designs in things like invites, business cards or packaging, but also gives a tactile and visual boost.
Glittering
What is glittering? They love that it makes people look and feel sparkling. It is frequently used in advertising as well as in sales promotions, in packages, in decorative items, on toys, and other products to increase its liveliness and attract attention. It’s great for holiday or special occasion patterns.
