At Pro Custom Packaging, we manufacture custom food packaging boxes for UK bakeries, restaurants, takeaways, food startups, and established food brands. Every box we produce is made from food-safe, FSA-compliant materials — built to protect your product, carry your brand, and meet UK food contact regulations. We supply from 100 units with no die or plate charges, free in-house design support, and UK-wide delivery in 15–20 days.
Whether you need cake boxes with window panels, printed burger boxes for a busy takeaway, branded coffee cup sleeves, or bespoke cereal cartons for retail shelves, our food packaging is made to your exact dimensions and printed to your brand specification.
Food packaging boxes are not a standard print job. The materials that touch or enclose your product must meet UK food contact material (FCM) regulations set by the Food Standards Agency, and your printed inks must be food-safe and migration-tested. Every material we use for direct food contact applications is sourced to comply with UK retained EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 on food contact materials.
Our core food packaging stocks and their typical applications:
All food-contact print runs use food-safe, low-migration inks. We can supply lamination-free kraft options for brands that require fully compostable packaging.
Under the UK Food Information to Consumers (FIC) Regulation, all pre-packed food must display the 14 major allergens clearly and legibly. Our design team builds the correct allergen declaration space into your artwork from the start — ensuring you have a compliant label area without compromising your brand design. We also accommodate front-of-pack nutrition labelling (traffic light system), ingredient lists, and Natasha’s Law compliance for PPDS (pre-packed for direct sale) products.
If you are a food business owner unsure of your labelling obligations, we flag this during the consultation stage before a single line of artwork is finalised.
We supply a broad and growing range of custom food packaging boxes. All products are available in fully bespoke sizes and configurations.
Custom cake boxes, cupcake boxes, macaron boxes, cookie boxes, pie boxes, and pastry cartons. Available in window or non-window formats, with or without inserts, in SBS white, kraft, or printed board. Standard bakery formats include auto-bottom, tuck-top, and full-overlap styles.
Burger boxes in E-flute corrugated with greaseproof lining, printed with your branding. Pizza boxes from 7″ to 18″ in single-wall E-flute or B-flute. Brown paper bags in twisted-handle and flat formats. Chip boxes, hot dog trays, and catering trays for dine-in and delivery service.
Custom coffee cup sleeves printed with your logo and brand colours. Suitable for 8oz, 12oz, and 16oz cups. PET cups (printed) for cold drinks, juices, and dessert beverages. Supplied flat-packed for space-efficient storage.
Cereal boxes, chocolate boxes, confectionery cartons, and snack packaging for supermarket, deli, and farm shop retail. Manufactured to shelf-ready dimensions with barcode area, product description space, and full nutritional panel zones built in. Also doing promotional FSDU and counter display boxes for food brands.
Branded gift food boxes and subscription hamper cartons for artisan food brands. Rigid-lid and hinged formats available for premium food gifting — cheese, charcuterie, confectionery, and specialty drinks.
All food packaging boxes are printed using CMYK offset or Pantone color printing. Offset printing is standard for runs of 500+ units where colour accuracy and sharp fine detail are essential.
Available finishes on food packaging:
All food packaging boxes are supplied flat-packed for space-efficient storage and manual assembly, or pre-glued where auto-bottom construction is specified.

Our 100-unit minimum order makes Pro Custom Packaging one of the few UK manufacturers accessible to small and independent food businesses without requiring wholesale-level commitment upfront.
