Custom Breakfast Boxes

Our custom breakfast boxes are made to order for caterers, corporate kitchens, meal prep brands and event planners across Australia. Whether you pack hotel breakfasts, corporate breakfasts or brunch delivery, we build the box around the food, then print it with your brand so every order carries your name out the door.

Compartment inserts separate pastries, fruit and juice for delivered breakfasts. Every box is made from food-grade board, cut to your dimensions and printed in full colour, spot colours or a simple one-colour logo, with orders from 100 units and delivery to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide and regional areas.

What our breakfast boxes are used for

• Hotel breakfasts: repeat customers notice when the packaging looks consistent every time.
• Corporate breakfasts: the food often travels further than you'd expect, so strength counts.
• Brunch delivery: a box that photographs well brings free exposure on social media.
• Gift breakfasts: the box has to hold its shape from the counter to the customer's table.

Planning a range? Our guide, How to Keep Food Fresh and Presentable in Breakfast Boxes, goes into more detail.

Box styles

Choose the structure that suits the food and how your team packs it. We can also combine features or copy a box you already use.

• Box with insert: A die-cut insert holds each item in position so nothing moves in transit.
• Handle box: A built-in handle means customers can carry the order one-handed without a bag.
• Window lid box: A window shows the product and lets it sell itself on the counter or shelf.

Sizes

These sizes suit most orders for breakfast boxes. Every box can be made to your exact inside dimensions.

Materials and board

We match the board to the weight of the food and how far it travels. The main thing to plan for with breakfast boxes is dressing leaks, weight of full platters and long carry distances.

• SBS paperboard: Solid bleached sulphate board gives a bright white surface for sharp, full-colour print. It is the usual choice for retail cartons and bakery boxes, and is commonly specified between 300 and 400 gsm depending on the weight of the food.
• Kraft paperboard: Unbleached kraft has a natural brown finish that suits rustic, organic and eco-minded brands. It prints best with bold one- or two-colour artwork, because the brown base shifts lighter colours.
• E-flute corrugated board: A thin corrugated board around 1.5 mm thick that adds crush strength and a little insulation while still printing cleanly. It is the standard for pizza boxes, mailers and heavier food orders.

Food safety

All breakfast boxes are made from food-grade board. Where food touches the box directly, we recommend a barrier coating or liner, and print is kept on the outside. Our guide to food-safe packaging in Australia explains what the Food Standards Code expects from packaging.

Keep wet and dry items apart with inserts or separate compartments, and add dressings at the last step.

Printing and finishes

Print your logo in one colour, match exact brand colours with Pantone, or go full colour with CMYK. Finishes include matte and gloss coatings, spot UV, foil, embossing and windows. Not sure which to choose? Read CMYK vs Pantone for food packaging and our guide to coatings and finishes.

Sustainable options

Kraft and recycled-content board, film-free windows and water-based coatings all help your breakfast boxes recycle more easily. We can add the Australasian Recycling Label to your artwork, and certified compostable options are available for some styles.
