Trade tips

  • Hands cover the lower part of a cup: put the logo in the top third.
  • Put the cup’s seam at the back and keep the logo away from it.
  • Paper labels do not like water: use plastic labels for fridges and bathrooms.
  • Unlaminated paper keeps its natural feel but scuffs easily: fine for short-lived packs.

What is the hinged foam takeaway box sample printed on?

The sample is paper decal 80 gsm with no lamination.

Construction

A hinged foam takeaway box is thermoformed from one sheet of foamed polystyrene (PSP), or moulded from EPS beads: the base and lid are joined by a fold hinge, and a tab on the lid locks into a slot at the front of the base. A single compartment holds rice and toppings and keeps them warm thanks to the insulating foam.

Choosing board and material

EPS and PSP insulate, are light and waterproof, but shouldn't be used for very hot or oily food or microwaved. Many places encourage switching to bagasse or PE-coated paper boxes; if foam is used, it must be food-contact grade.

Finishing

Foam is hard to print directly; logos are usually small pad prints on the lid, screen printed on the PSP sheet before forming, or a sticker. The sample shows the logo as a paper decal on the lid.

Preparing the print file

Design the lid sticker, typically a 50–70 mm round or 80 × 50 mm rectangle, clear of the ribs and recessed edges on the lid; keep it to logo, shop name and hotline. For pad printing use a one-colour logo without very fine lines, since the foam surface is textured.

Common mistakes

  • A big sticker over the lid ribs: it lifts at the bumps.
  • A sticker over the lock slot: the lid won't close or the sticker tears on opening.
  • Fine multicolour art for pad printing on foam: the ink smudges and detail vanishes.
  • Solvent-printed stickers applied to hot foam: the adhesive runs and the label peels.

Questions and answers

What meal fits the 205 × 155 × 72 mm foam box?

One portion of broken rice, chicken rice, sticky rice or a sandwich, about 400–500 g; the 72 mm height lets grilled pork sit on the rice with the lid still closing.

What should a rice shop's lid sticker say?

The shop name, logo, ordering phone number and social media page; a 60 mm round sticker is enough, with no long text.

Can foam boxes be printed with a logo?

Pad printing, or screen printing before forming, works with limited colours; the most common way is still a sticker on the lid.

Are foam boxes safe for hot food?

Avoid very hot or oily food and microwaving; use food-contact grade boxes and consider paper or bagasse alternatives.

What can replace a hinged foam box?

PE-coated kraft boxes, bagasse clamshells of the same shape, or microwaveable PP boxes.
