A noodle box is a food-safe, fold-locking carton, often a classic pagoda-style box, built to hold hot noodles, rice, or similar dishes securely for takeaway or delivery. Because these dishes are usually sauced and served hot, leak resistance and heat tolerance both matter more than for drier food packaging.
Why Leak Resistance Is the Priority
Noodle dishes tend to travel with sauce, which risks leaking through a standard box, particularly if it is tilted or stacked during delivery. A leak-resistant lining, combined with the fold-locking top common to this box style, keeps sauce contained through handling.
Styles We Make
We build the classic pagoda-style folding noodle box in a range of sizes, along with rectangular alternatives for larger sharing portions. Ventilation options are available to manage steam without compromising leak resistance.
Materials
Food-contact-safe board with a leak-resistant lining is standard, chosen to handle both heat and moisture from typical noodle and rice dishes.
Order Sizes We Support
Custom noodle boxes are available from around 100 to 250 units, suiting takeaways and delivery-focused restaurants building branded packaging.
Average Noodle Box Prices
As a general guide, noodle boxes typically cost between £0.15 and £0.50 per unit, depending on size, structure, material and print.
Sustainability
Recyclable, leak-resistant board options are available, avoiding the plastic tubs some noodle and rice dishes are still packaged in.
