Custom Food Boats

Food presentation is crucial to consider not only for restaurants but food stalls, picnics, carnivals and fairs. How you hand your delicious food to your customers makes a huge impact on your brand reputation. Using custom food boats is the way to impress your customers or guests whenever organizing BBQs and parties. These boat-shaped food trays with sturdy bases and walls can prevent food from spilling. 

They are made from durable materials and a grease-resistant coating to prevent them from collapsing under the weight of fried food. Incorporate different branding elements and take advantage of free design assistance from Waxpapers.ca to maintain consistent branding. By collaborating with us you don’t have to pay for any die cuts or plate charges for printing. Make an order with us to enjoy maximum customization, minimal costs and an FDA-approved manufacturing process. 

Material Choices For Food Boats

Whether you are going for custom printed food trays or boats, a mindful material choice is important because it will decide the durability. Choose sturdy materials to prevent moisture and oil stains because they reflect a negative brand image. We give biodegradable material choices so brands can minimize packaging costs while gaining popularity among eco-conscious consumers. Also, the thickness level of the material can be customized depending on the food item you are selling. Here are two main materials for your food boats:

Kraft Paper

Kraft material is a popular packaging choice due to its flexibility, durability and cost-effectiveness. Kraft is eco-friendly made from natural wood pulp and gives a natural brown colour. So if you don’t want to integrate printing then brown paper food boats are the best to give an aesthetic brand appeal while minimizing your packaging costs. There are some extended types of Kraft paper material given below contributing to the versatility:  

• Natural brown craft paper
• Bleached kraft paper
• Coated kraft paper
• Recycled kraft paper
• Virgin kraft paper 
• Coloured kraft paper

Cardboard

Cardboard packaging material is thicker than kraft paper thus giving maximum support to your food items. Cardboard is also an eco-friendly material made from wood pulp. You can integrate versatile coatings and printings on cardboard food boats to impress your customers. Cardboard also has extended types like Kraft which are given below:

• Solid bleached sulfate
• Uncoated recycled board
• Coated recycled board
• Clay-coated news back

Size Considerations

You can always customize the size of paper boats for food depending on the event or food you are going to serve. Make sure to choose the perfect size that accommodates different serving needs. Also, you can place food wrapping paper in your boats to prevent moisture so choose the size that aligns with the size of the paper. Here are some standard sizes and dimensions you can choose from:

Mini Food Boats

• Small: 6 x 4” x 2”
• Medium: 8” x 6” x 3”
• Large: 10” x 8” x 4”

Standard Food Boats

• Deluxe: 20” x 16” x 8”

Large Food Boats

• Party: 30” x 24” x 12”

Printing Techniques

Printing brand elements is necessary if you want to secure a renowned spot in the competitive food industry. You can place your brand logo in the middle of paper food boats with attractive food-related patterns that will entice potential customers. 

We use biodegradable inks such as water and vegetable-based ones that do not cause any chemical harm and maintain the vibrancy of your printed design for years. Here are some printing techniques to produce long-lasting outcomes:

Offset Printing

Offset printing is a traditional method of printing that produces vibrant and durable results. A rubber blanket is used to transfer the printed image onto paper. This method is suitable for large runs and produces durable results.

Flexography

Flexographic printing is nicknamed flexo, which uses flexible plates to transfer designs on paper, this printing technique can accommodate solid colours to produce enchanting designs on food boats paper. If you want basic designs, text and logos then go for flexography without a second thought.

Screen Printing

Just as the name suggests, screen printing uses a special type of screen called mesh stencil to produce vibrant results. By incorporating screen printing you can make your small food boats resistant to tear and wear. Screen printing is more cost-effective than the other method especially when a few colour outcome is required.

Digital Printing

Digital printing has surpassed all traditional printing methods due to flexibility, fast production and multiple applications. Digital printing has no setup costs, unlike other printing methods which require a whole production setup. This is the optimal choice for a business that wants a fast turnaround of food boats with efficient results.
