Triangular wedge
For a sandwich cut on the diagonal. Match the carton to the cut piece, not to the whole loaf.
Custom Sandwich Boxes for Cafes and Bakeries
Custom sandwich boxes for UK cafes, bakeries, delis and food-to-go counters. Wedge and rectangular cartons are quoted to your sandwich size. No prices or standard sandwich sizes are listed here.
Cartons for made-to-order sandwiches
Sandwich boxes are small cartons for a triangular wedge or a long filled roll. They are not bakery and cake boxes, which are for cakes and pastries, and they are not food grade containers, which suit tubs, salads and other lidded foods. A branded carton for a bagel or a filled roll, where the print is the main brief, is covered by printed bagel and sandwich boxes.
Wedge or rectangular
A cut sandwich usually wants a triangular carton. A baguette or uncut roll usually wants a longer rectangle. Measure the sandwich after it is made, including tall fillings, and put those dimensions on the quote form.
How cafes carry them out
Many cafes put the closed carton into paper shopping bags. Side salads and crisps are a better fit for takeaway food trays than for the sandwich carton. Bakeries planning cakes as well as sandwiches can use bakery packaging for the cake range and keep this page for the sandwich.
Sandwich carton shapes
Rectangular carton
For rolls, baguettes and uncut sandwiches. Length is the measurement that is most often wrong, so measure the filled roll.
Plain or printed
Plain kraft, or print in one colour, two colours, or full colour.

Frequently asked questions
Can one box fit every sandwich on our menu?
Usually not. A deep filled triangle and a long roll need different cartons. Send both sizes if you sell both.
Do you make window boxes for sandwiches?
Ask if you want a window. We will say on the quote whether that closure is available for your size. It is not promised here.
What is the minimum order?
None is published. Request a quote for the quantity you need.
Do you state that the board is food-contact certified?
No. Include any food-contact requirement in your enquiry so it can be checked.
