A Handle Built Into the Structure
The gable top design folds into a peaked roof shape with an integrated carry handle, eliminating the need for a separate bag or handle attachment. For food applications, we food-safe the board and can add grease-resistant coating for bakery and confectionery items.
Who Orders This Format
Bakeries, caterers, lunch delivery services, and gift companies use food gable boxes for individual meal portions, party favor treats, and edible gift sets where a self-contained carry option adds convenience without extra packaging steps.
Window and Print Options
We offer clear window openings on the gable panel so customers can see baked goods or treats before opening, along with full-color CMYK printing or a natural kraft finish for a more rustic, bakery-style presentation.
Eco-Friendly Food Packaging
A 2025 McKinsey survey found that over 60% of U.S. consumers pick green packaging when they have the choice. Our recyclable, FSC-certified paperboard and kraft options let food brands meet that demand without added packaging cost.
