    Description

    Chinese carry-out boxes have become a staple in American dining over the past few years. With the rise of takeout culture, more people rely on delivery than ever. There are over 40,000 Chinese restaurants in the U.S., three times the number of McDonald’s locations. On average, Americans order delivery 4–5 times per month, and over half prefer takeout to cooking at home.

    Originally called an oyster pail, these containers, also known as paper pails, Chinese food boxes, or Chinese takeout containers, were first designed to hold oysters. Made from folded, waxed, or plastic-coated paperboard, they feature a unique rectangular shape with expandable sides and a foldable top, which makes them compact for storage but spacious enough to hold noodles, rice, stir-fry, dumplings, and small empanadas.

    Our Chinese takeout cartons combine this historical design with modern usability. Small vent holes release steam to prevent sogginess, while fold-lock flaps keep meals secure. Small Chinese takeout boxes are ideal for individual servings, and larger sizes handle family portions. The boxes fold easily, stack neatly, and save kitchen space.

    Food brands in the USA can also print logos or artwork to strengthen visibility. These cartons safeguard meals, manage sauces, and simplify service, making delivery and takeout convenient and reliable for every customer.
