Custom Garlic Bread Boxes

If you sell garlic bread or bruschetta, the box is the last thing your customer sees before they eat and the first thing they remember afterwards. We make custom garlic bread boxes for pizzerias, Italian restaurants, bars and delivery kitchens that protect the food and do some of the marketing for you.

Side boxes that match your pizza box print complete the order at the door. 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 garlic bread boxes are used for

• Garlic bread: the box has to hold its shape from the counter to the customer's table.
• Bruschetta: presentation matters as much as protection, so the print needs to be sharp.
• Cheesy bread: staff need a box that folds up fast when orders stack up.
• Pizza sides: 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.

• Tray and lid: A lifting lid gives easy access and keeps the top of the food clear.
• Sleeve: An open-ended printed band slides over a tray or container, branding it for less than a full box.

Sizes

These sizes suit most orders for garlic bread 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 garlic bread boxes is heat, steam and oil from cheese and toppings.

• 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.
• 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.
• Grease- and moisture-resistant board: Board with a food-safe barrier coating on the inside to hold back oil, sauce and condensation. Ask for water-based barrier coatings if you want the box to stay easier to recycle.

Food safety

All garlic bread 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.

Vent holes on the lid or sides let steam escape so the base stays crisp.

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 garlic bread boxes recycle more easily. We can add the Australasian Recycling Label to your artwork, and certified compostable options are available for some styles.
