Smart Packaging for Frozen & Chilled Ready Foods: From Pizza to Plant-Based Patties

The frozen and chilled ready food industry is booming. From frozen pizzas and burritos to plant-based burger patties and chilled sandwich wraps, brands are racing to win shelf space in supermarkets, meal delivery apps, and retail freezers. But great products need great packaging — and in this segment, paper-based box packaging is proving to be a game-changer.

For food manufacturers, private label brands, and foodservice suppliers, investing in the right frozen food box isn’t just about protection — it’s about branding, sustainability, and operational efficiency.


1. Frozen Pizza Boxes: Structure, Strength & Shelf Appeal

Frozen pizzas are bulky, delicate, and highly visual. The ideal frozen pizza box must:

  • 🧊 Withstand freezer temperatures without warping or absorbing moisture
  • 📦 Maintain rigid structure for protection and stacking
  • 🎨 Offer high-quality surface for bold branding and product photography
  • 🌱 Be recyclable or made from FSC-certified paperboard

We offer custom pizza boxes in sizes ranging from personal (6″) to family (14″) formats, with optional grease-resistant coatings and anti-frost treatments. Windowed options are also available for premium SKUs.


2. Burrito Boxes: Compact, Durable, Retail-Ready

Whether frozen or chilled, burritos need packaging that is compact, secure, and easy to heat. We supply:

  • 🌯 Single burrito boxes with tuck-end or snap-lock bottoms
  • 🌯 Twin pack burrito trays with printed sleeves
  • 🌯 Multi-pack cartons for wholesale or club store formats

These burrito boxes are compatible with flow-wraps or film-sealed trays and can be designed for microwave heating instructions, tamper-evident features, and strong shelf presence.


3. Frozen Plant-Based Burger Patty Boxes: Sustainable Meets Performance

Plant-based meat alternatives have exploded in popularity. Your frozen patty packaging must reflect modern values:

  • ✅ Eco-friendly board with soy or water-based inks
  • ✅ Inner structure that holds patties securely without freezer burn
  • ✅ Minimalist, health-conscious design for vegan/vegetarian positioning
  • ✅ Custom inserts for 2, 4, or 6-patty SKUs

We help vegan and flexitarian brands align packaging with their mission — offering structure that’s freezer-safe, bold in branding, and optimized for e-commerce shipping if needed.


4. Chilled Sandwich Wrap Boxes: On-the-Go and On-Brand

In the grab-and-go category, sandwich wrap packaging needs to balance speed and appeal. Our chilled sandwich wrap boxes are:

  • 🥪 Designed with half-window cutouts for visible freshness
  • 🥪 Compatible with chilled deli cabinets and takeaway counters
  • 🥪 Grease-resistant and breathable to avoid soggy wraps
  • 🥪 Brand-customized with QR codes, allergen panels, and promotional print

These are perfect for retail delis, cafes, and meal delivery startups who want recyclable, attractive packaging with fast assembly times.
