Why Choose Our Food Packaging
Custom Food Packaging That Keeps Food Safe and Brands Strong
Food packaging carries unique requirements that separate it from general product packaging: food-safety compliance, grease and moisture resistance, freshness preservation, and the ability to communicate appetite appeal through vivid, accurate color reproduction. Branded Boxes produces custom food packaging across all food categories — from quick-service restaurant containers to premium specialty food brand cartons.
Food Safety Compliance
All materials used in our food packaging are FDA-compliant for direct and indirect food contact. We supply SFI and FSC-certified board options with food-safe aqueous coatings and water-based inks. For brands with specific compliance requirements, we can provide full material safety data and regulatory documentation.

Material Science Behind Food Packaging
Food packaging materials must do more than look good — they must protect food safety, extend shelf life, and prevent contamination. Our food packaging uses virgin SBS board for direct-contact applications where purity is critical, poly-coated board for moisture and grease resistance, and CPET for high-temperature applications. We maintain strict lot traceability for all food-grade materials so you can respond quickly to any regulatory inquiry.
Appetite Appeal: Printing for Food Brands
Food packaging printing requires special attention to appetite appeal — the visual cues that make food look fresh, delicious, and irresistible. Our color management process is calibrated specifically for food photography reproduction, ensuring that the vibrant, accurate colors of your food photography translate faithfully from screen to substrate. We use food-safe water-based inks and aqueous overprint varnishes that are safe for food-contact applications.
Sustainable Food Packaging Solutions
Consumer demand for sustainable food packaging has accelerated dramatically. We offer FSC-certified board, compostable PLA-coated alternatives to poly-coated board, and packaging solutions that minimize material use through optimized structural design. Our sustainability team works with food brands to identify the right sustainable packaging solution for their product, supply chain, and consumer expectations.
Custom Packaging for Washington's Technology-Driven Economy
Washington State is home to Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, and Starbucks — four of the world's most consequential brands — giving it a technology and consumer brand DNA that shapes the entire state's packaging market expectations. Seattle's startup ecosystem is one of the world's most active. Washington's cannabis market is one of America's most mature. And the Yakima Valley's wines and Columbia Basin's agriculture create strong specialty food packaging demand. Branded Boxes serves Washington's exceptional economy with matching quality.
Seattle Technology and DTC Brand Packaging
Seattle's technology ecosystem — Amazon, Microsoft, Expedia, Nordstrom, and hundreds of high-growth startups — creates a packaging market that understands brand design, sustainability, and premium consumer experience at the highest level. Amazon's presence has also made Seattle one of the world's most sophisticated e-commerce packaging markets. Premium mailer boxes, sustainable packaging programs, and startup launch packaging for Seattle's tech community from 50 units.
Washington Cannabis Compliance Packaging
Washington was one of the first two states to legalize recreational cannabis, making its cannabis market one of the world's most mature and competitive. Washington LCB-compliant child-resistant packaging with required warning statements for Washington dispensaries and cannabis brands. Premium brand finishes — soft-touch lamination, foil stamping, sustainable materials — are standard in Washington's sophisticated cannabis market.
Washington Wine and Agricultural Packaging
Washington State is the second-largest wine-producing state in the US, and Columbia Valley Cabernets and Rieslings command international premiums. Agricultural packaging for Washington's apples, hops, cherries, and specialty crops creates significant demand for food-safe, brand-forward packaging.
