When to choose it

For takeaway food, party favours and bakery items carried by hand. For shelf-stacked food choose a gable top carton.

Before you print

  • Use food-contact board or a barrier coating where food touches the pack; ask for the certificates.
  • Grease and steam soften plain board; vents and coatings keep hot food packs rigid.
  • Size the hand hole for a gloved hand: about 90 × 25 mm.
