Custom refrigerated food packaging boxes are designed for chilled bakery products, refrigerated desserts, fresh prepared foods, and other products stored and distributed under refrigerated conditions.
Made from customized paperboard, these printed folding cartons provide an outer retail package for products packed in inner trays, sealed containers, or protective bags. Box dimensions, board specifications, and carton structures can be developed according to the product size, inner packaging format, and refrigerated distribution requirements.
From individual bakery cartons to multi-unit chilled food boxes, each design is manufactured to suit your product and retail packaging needs.

Products may be stored in chilled display cabinets, handled during frequent replenishment, and exposed to condensation when moved between different temperature environments.
The outer carton therefore needs to be developed with attention to board selection, structural strength, surface treatment, and the dimensions of the inner package.
Our custom printed refrigerated food boxes are suitable for products packed in sealed trays, plastic containers, or inner bags. They provide space for product branding, ingredients, nutritional information, storage instructions, use-by dates, and barcode details.
Typical applications include:
The carton is designed as an outer packaging component. Where the product requires direct food contact or moisture protection, an appropriate inner tray, liner, or sealed primary package should be used.
Different chilled food products require different carton dimensions and opening styles. Common folding carton options include:
For bakery products and chilled desserts, window panels can be added where appropriate to give customers a view of the product. Internal supports or inserts can also be developed to help keep individual items in position during handling.
Paperboard selection depends on the carton size, product weight, packaging structure, and expected storage conditions. Board thickness can be adjusted to provide the required rigidity and folding performance.
Printing Options
Surface Finishing
For chilled applications, the suitability of the board and surface finish should be evaluated against the actual storage temperature, humidity, and condensation exposure. Standard paperboard cartons should not be assumed to be waterproof.
The following dimensions are examples for initial packaging development. Actual sizes should be determined by the product and its inner container.
| Application | Reference Size (L × W × D) |
|---|---|
| Chilled Pastry Box | 160 × 110 × 60 mm |
| Dessert Slice Carton | 180 × 120 × 75 mm |
| Small Chilled Cake Box | 200 × 200 × 100 mm |
| Cheesecake Carton | 230 × 230 × 100 mm |
| Chilled Sandwich Box | 180 × 100 × 65 mm |
| Refrigerated Meal Carton | 200 × 150 × 55 mm |
| Family-Size Chilled Food Box | 260 × 180 × 70 mm |
These are reference dimensions, not fixed stock sizes. Custom measurements are available for different products, trays, and retail packaging formats.
Each refrigerated food carton can be customized according to your product and packaging line requirements.
If you already have an inner tray or container, its measurements can be used as the starting point for carton development.
