CHOOSE TO SUIT YOUR PRODUCT

For the food and its journey to the customer

A paperboard box needs to suit both its contents and how it will be handled. Dimensions, closure and coating are selected to suit the portion, serving and transport.

For greasy or moist dishes, PE- or PLA-laminated paperboard can improve resistance. Ventilation holes, windows, handles and dividers can be incorporated where the application requires them. Emballa helps you select an existing construction or develop a customised solution.

  • Restaurants, cafés and fast food
  • Takeaway and food delivery
  • Catering and events
  • Bakery products, snacks and ready meals
  • Burgers, chips, chicken and other hot dishes
  • Retail and food production

Every portion carries your branding

Let your logo, campaign design or an all-over pattern accompany the food. White paperboard provides a base for detailed full-colour printing, while brown kraft board gives a natural look. Offset, digital and flexographic printing are selected according to material, print run and schedule.

A partner throughout the project

Emballa is backed by Plastrum OÜ. We help businesses in the Baltics and Scandinavia choose material, construction and printing method. We compare manufacturing options and coordinate the project from specification to delivery.
