Varnish
A transparent finishing layer available in gloss, satin, or matte effects. It enhances the printed surface and adds an extra layer of visual appeal and light protection.
Custom round food boxes with no corners for dressing or sauce to hide in, printed to your brand for salads, pasta and other mixed food. Orders start from 100 units.
Salad, pasta, a saucy noodle dish or anything else that gets mixed or dressed doesn’t sit neatly in a corner the way a sandwich or a single dry portion does. Round leaves nowhere for that mix to collect, and nothing for a fork or spoon to dig into awkwardly at the edge.
Rectangular boxes have four corners where dressing pools, sauce gets trapped, and the last few bites are awkward to reach. None of that happens in a round container, since there’s no corner for anything to collect in. It matters most for genuinely mixed or dressed food, a salad with dressing already on it, a pasta dish, a saucy noodle bowl, and matters far less for something dry or already portioned, where a rectangular box works just as well. A single-portion tub and a larger sharing size solve different problems even though both are round for the same reason; the amount of food decides which end of that range actually suits the order.
A round lid seals along one continuous edge, with no corner for a gap to work loose the way a rectangular lid’s four corners can. That continuous seal is what actually matters for dressed or sauced food. Board and coating chosen with that in mind lower the chance of a mess in transit, though no folded paperboard lid can promise zero leakage if the container gets tipped over completely. Hot food adds a second consideration: the board and coating combination suited to heat is a different specification from one chosen for something served cold, so telling us which this order is for shapes that choice.
Board and coating can be selected to suit direct or indirect food contact depending on the specification. Food-contact material suitability is confirmed for the specific material before production. Allergen and nutritional labelling stays your business’s responsibility.
Orders start from 100 units. Design support is free. A digital 3D mock-up is free, so you can see the lid fit and print before anything goes to production. Standard production takes 6 to 8 business days after approval. UK delivery is free. There are no setup fees. An unlaminated paperboard construction may be easier to process through suitable paper-recycling streams than a heavily laminated alternative. Heavily soiled board, especially anything that has absorbed oil or a wet dressing, is the part some facilities won’t take as paper waste. Check what your own local collection accepts before assuming every part of the box recycles the same way.
Bowl-style containers are a different thing from a rigid, decorative round box, and Round Macaron Boxes covers that format instead. Where a specific cuisine already has its own established box, Chinese Food Boxes or Takeaway Salad Boxes serves it better than a general round container. Custom Food Boxes is the category hub if none of these three match what you’re packing.

Real feedback from customers who trust us with their custom packaging.
Clear answers about ordering, artwork, production, materials and delivery.
There's no corner for dressing, sauce or loose ingredients to collect in, and nothing for a fork or spoon to catch on at the edge. It matters most for food that's already mixed or dressed before the lid goes on.
A continuous round seal helps, but no packaging can promise that against a container that's genuinely knocked over. Tell us what's going in it and we can talk through a specification that lowers the odds.
Both, but not with the same specification. Tell us whether the order is hot or cold and we'll match the board and coating to it rather than assuming one combination suits both.
Orders start from 100 units. Standard production takes 6 to 8 business days after approval. UK delivery is free.
No. This is a functional container built for loose or dressed food. If you actually want a rigid, decorative round box for something like macarons or a gift item, Round Macaron Boxes is built for that instead.
