MATERIAL & STRUCTURE ROUTES

Compare the function before selecting a weight or finish.

These are common routes to evaluate, not fixed promises. Final suitability is confirmed for the actual food, use and destination.

Open-top upright carton

A visible serving format whose front cutaway, rear support, opening and base need to work together with the cooked portion.

Folded scoop-style route

A flat-packed structure can be evaluated around separation, opening, bottom locking and the way staff fill each portion.

Board and barrier review

Paperboard, contact side and any grease or moisture barrier must be selected for the real food, holding time and destination requirements.

BUYER QUESTIONS

What happens before production?

Should a French fry box be sized by portion weight?

Not by weight alone. Fry length, cut, coating and filling method change the occupied volume and fill height. Test the lightest and heaviest normal cooked portions in a formed sample.

Is an open fry carton the same as a closed takeaway box?

No. An open carton supports direct access and visible service, while a closed box is a separate containment route. Compare them with the same food, holding time and complete order before choosing.

Does every fries carton need a grease-resistant barrier?

The requirement depends on the food, contact side, holding time and expected appearance. Confirm the final board or barrier route through a real food test and the required destination documents.

What is the minimum order quantity?

MOQ is confirmed per project. Finished dimensions, structure, board route, printing and packing determine the practical production minimum.

Can I check a sample first?

Available stock samples are free, with freight paid by the buyer. Custom samples are charged first, and the fee is credited after a bulk order.

How long does the process take?

The current target is a first digital mockup within 3 hours during China working hours after usable customer artwork. After visual approval and payment of the sampling fee, a custom sample can be dispatched within 7 days. After sample approval and payment, most orders dispatch from the factory within 30 days.
