Bento box sleeves that brand the box you already use

Most kitchens already have a takeaway container they like. A printed sleeve turns that stock container into a branded one without changing your supplier, your stock or your packing line.

A sleeve is a band open at both ends. L and W are the outside of the container it wraps (add about 2 mm), and H is how wide the printed band is.

Flat blank sizes are computed by the Makan Box dieline engine at a 0.35 mm board and are recomputed for the board you choose. Sizes marked on request are outside what this structure can be drawn at today, or larger than a standard 72 x 102 cm press sheet; we quote those by hand.

Questions

Minimum order, food safety, lead time, samples and dielines. Anything that depends on the print run is confirmed with your quote.

Do you supply the bento boxes as well?
Bento trays and other takeaway containers are part of the Makan Box range and are quoted on request. Many kitchens keep their current container and add a sleeve, which is the cheapest way to brand it.
What is the minimum order?
On request. Every box is made to order at your size and small batches are welcome. The firm minimum depends on the box, the board and the print run, and comes with your quote.
Is the packaging food safe?
Board grades and food-contact documentation come from the print partner’s board specification, and are on request. Tell us what touches the box (dry, oily or moist food) when you ask for a quote so we can match the board, or plan a liner.
What is the lead time?
On request. It is confirmed with your quote and counted from the day you approve the proof.
Can I get a sample first?
Samples are on request. Ask for one when you request a quote and we will tell you what is possible for your size and board.
Do I get a dieline?
Every box is drawn by our dieline engine at your exact inside size and board thickness, so there is no stock template to adapt. You see the flat dieline and a 3D fold in the configurator, production files (PDF, DXF and SVG) are generated from your order, and a dieline file for your own designer is available on request.
Do you make more than boxes?
Yes. The Makan Box range also covers paper cups, kraft paper bags, stand-up pouches, labels and stickers, noodle boxes, bento trays, sauce sachets and tingkat tins. Boxes are sized and drawn online; the rest of the range is quoted on request.
How do I order?
Request a quote with the size and quantity you need, or size the box yourself in the configurator first. A person replies with a firm price, minimum and lead time for your run.
