Our custom corrugated food shipping boxes are made to order for online food brands, subscription services and businesses moving away from plastic across Australia. Whether you pack wholesale shipping, bulk orders or interstate deliveries, we build the box around the food, then print it with your brand so every order carries your name out the door.
Corrugated board is chosen by flute and strength to suit the load and the journey. 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 corrugated food shipping boxes are used for
- Wholesale shipping: the box has to hold its shape from the counter to the customer's table.
- Bulk orders: presentation matters as much as protection, so the print needs to be sharp.
- Interstate deliveries: staff need a box that folds up fast when orders stack up.
- E-commerce: repeat customers notice when the packaging looks consistent every time.

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.
- Regular slotted carton: A regular slotted carton is the most economical shipping box for bulk orders.

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 corrugated food shipping boxes is courier handling, stacking pressure and temperature swings in transit.
- 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.
- 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.
Food safety
All corrugated food shipping 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.
Match the box strength to the courier journey and add void fill or inserts so contents don't shift.
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 corrugated food shipping boxes recycle more easily. We can add the Australasian Recycling Label to your artwork, and certified compostable options are available for some styles.
