A chicken box is a food-safe, grease-resistant carton built to hold fried, grilled, or roasted chicken portions securely during takeaway or delivery. Chicken orders are often heavier and greasier than many other fast food items, so the box needs to combine structural strength with a lining that manages both oil and residual heat.
Why Chicken Packaging Needs Extra Strength
A full chicken box carrying several pieces, sides, and sometimes gravy or dips is genuinely heavy compared with a sandwich or wrap. We build chicken boxes with this weight in mind, so the base does not sag or the box lose shape before it reaches the customer.
Styles We Make
We build fold-top chicken boxes for smaller portions, and larger clamshell or bucket-style boxes for family and sharing orders, often with compartments for sides or sauces.
Materials
Food-contact-safe, grease-resistant board is standard, with corrugated options available for larger multi-portion boxes needing extra base strength.
Order Sizes We Support
Custom chicken boxes are available from around 100 to 250 units, suiting takeaways and fried chicken shops building their own branded packaging.
Average Chicken Box Prices
As a general guide, chicken boxes typically cost between £0.15 and £0.60 per unit, depending on size, structure, material and print.
Sustainability
Recyclable, grease-resistant board options are available, and corrugated board used for larger boxes is widely recyclable once cleaned of food residue.
