Materials & Construction

Packaging Lane offers sandwich boxes in kraft, white, clay-coated, and grease-resistant board. Each material serves a purpose: kraft holds up under moisture, while clay-coated resists stains. Grease-resistant boards keep contents from leaking onto hands and counters. All surfaces meet food-grade certification,s so sandwiches stay safe to eat. Buyers avoid added liners or wraps, reducing steps and costs. Every option is approved for direct contact with food. Every structure is built to protect freshness during storage and delivery.

Closure & Vents

Locking tabs, tuck ends, and snap lids give a tight seal. This helps keep food in place from packing to delivery. Choose the closure style that matches your handling needs. Built-in air vents reduce moisture inside the box. Preventing sogginess helps sandwiches stay fresh and appealing. This detail matters for takeout orders and longer transports. Boxes ship flat for easy assembly and storage. Packaging Lane offers these features in their custom sandwich boxes line.

Printing & Finish Options

Choose between digital, offset, or flexo printing to match your design needs and order size. Digital works best for short runs or updates, while offset and flexo handle higher volumes and fine detail. Select coatings such as matte, gloss, or soft-touch for your finish. Matte resists fingerprints; gloss builds strong color; soft-touch adds a smooth texture. Each finish changes how your brand appears and feels in the hand. Apply your logo or brand colors to visible panels on Packaging Lane sandwich boxes. Full-surface printing allows you to highlight your message and create a recognizable pack.

Full-Color & Spot Printing

Choose between full-color CMYK or precise Pantone spot printing. CMYK offers vibrant image quality, while Pantone matches exact brand shades for logo consistency. Set up files with at least 1/8 inch bleeds past cut lines and keep text or key graphics inside safe zones. This prevents unwanted cropping so every detail appears as intended. Maximum print area follows box size—most custom sandwich boxes allow near-edge coverage but leave a 1/16 inch margin for tolerances.

Finishes & Special Effects

Choose from foil, embossing, or debossing to give your boxes a distinct texture. A metallic finish or raised logo draws attention on shelves and supports brand recall.UV spot printing and window cutouts let you highlight key visuals or show off product freshness. These details help your packaging stand out, attracting purchase while staying functional. Food-safe decoration options meet packaging standards.

Sizing & Fit

Packaging Lane offers both standard and custom sizes, so you can match box dimensions to your sandwich menu. A good fit keeps sandwiches protected and speeds up packing. To check size, measure the sandwich’s length, width, and height. Allow a little extra room for wrappers or added fillings. This step stops shifting during stacking and cuts waste. Boxes can stack securely for transport and also fit on shelves. 

Size Guide & Measuring Tips

Measure the full length, width, and height of each sandwich, wrap, or panini before selecting the box size. Accurate dimensions avoid wasted materials and reduce movement during shipping. Leave at least 0.5 inch of space inside each box if you plan to add sauces or extras. This extra margin prevents mess and helps contents stay fresh. Custom sandwich boxes from Packaging Lane are available for subs up to 12 inches long.

Box Structure Options

Pick from one-piece or two-piece box builds. One-piece boxes need less assembly and save seconds with each pack, while two-piece boxes offer extra strength for heavier fillings. Ask about die-cut shapes to fit unique sandwich sizes or builds. A die-cut window or tab makes packaging easy to open and helps customers see the product. Add inserts like liners or sauce holders for extra function. These keep sauces from shifting and sandwiches from getting soggy.

Sustainability & Food Safety

Packaging Lane uses fully recyclable and compostable materials. This helps you reduce landfill waste while meeting city and state requirements for green food packaging.FSC and FDA food-contact certifications back the materials. These documented standards show your buyers, inspectors, and partners that your packaging meets safe handling and sourcing rules. All inks and adhesives are food-safe for direct sandwich contact.
