Cost-effective branded packaging
Food sleeves let you add branding, product details and seasonal messaging to food packaging without ordering new printed containers. Whether you're wrapping sandwiches, pastries, bowls, boxes or kraft takeaway trays, custom food sleeves transform stock packaging into a polished, retail-ready product. Use them to highlight ingredients, flavors or allergens, bundle items or promote limited-time offers. Upload your logo and design or customize a template to match your brand.
Durable & recyclable
Available in 27 sizes from 6" x 2" to 18" x 5", food container sleeves fit sandwiches, bowls, catering trays and everything in between. Made from durable, widely recyclable 12pt paper, with laminated options (14pt matte, 16pt gloss or soft touch) for enhanced durability. Each sleeve features a peel and seal adhesive tab for quick, clean application. Just peel the backing, wrap and press – it's that simple.
Design in minutes
Use our design tools or upload your own artwork to create custom food packaging sleeves in your choice of finish and quantity. Order a single sample to test quality or scale up as needed. Pair food sleeves with kraft bowls, takeout boxes and other food packaging for a cohesive brand experience.
Our food sleeves range from 2" to 7" in width and 4" to 18" in length, so you can pick the coverage and fit that works for your products. Here's how to choose by width:
- 2" – Best for accent branding on rolled cutlery, cookie sleeves, napkin bundles or small snack packs
- 3" – A standard size that works for small salad bowls, deli containers, yogurt bowls or individual takeaway containers
- 4" – Strong branding area for sandwich boxes, bakery boxes, dessert boxes or meal prep containers
- 5" – Premium gift wrap feel with wide coverage for large kraft bowls, family meal containers, bento boxes or party platters
- 6" – Full half-sleeve wrap for catering trays, charcuterie boxes or large meal packaging
- 7" – Statement sleeve for large catering trays and oversized family meal packaging
They're perfect for adding branding to bakery boxes, sandwiches, bowls and takeaway containers without ordering new printed packaging. Use food sleeves to highlight flavors, ingredients and allergens, bundle multi-packs or samplers, promote seasonal or limited-time products, or present grab-and-go meals with polish. They work great for restaurants, cafés, delis, bakeries and prepared food shops, plus catering, events, farmers markets and specialty retail.
