Burger Boxes Ireland: Plain vs Printed, Bagasse & Wholesale Guide

Burger boxes are essential packaging for Irish takeaways, burger restaurants, food trucks, and catering operators. This guide covers plain wholesale options, custom printed bagasse boxes, materials, and how to choose the right box for your business.

Plain vs printed burger boxes

Plain burger boxes are sold by the case for fast restocking — ideal for busy kitchens that need reliable wholesale supply without print lead times. Custom printed burger boxes add your logo to every takeaway order — compostable bagasse construction with full-colour print from 500 units.

Many operators use plain boxes for everyday volume and printed boxes for branded delivery. See plain burger boxes and custom printed burger boxes.

Bagasse burger boxes — compostable eco packaging

Bagasse is sugarcane fibre — a renewable by-product of sugar production. Bagasse burger boxes are compostable, oil-resistant, microwave-safe, and a popular replacement for plastic and polystyrene foam in Ireland. They suit eco-conscious brands and help meet customer demand for sustainable takeaway packaging.

Corrugated clamshell burger boxes

Corrugated cardboard clamshell burger boxes are recyclable and often the most economical option for high-volume takeaways. Available in standard burger clamshell sizes (#8–#12) with case pricing. Good for operators prioritising cost and recyclability over compostable credentials.

How much do burger boxes cost?

Plain wholesale burger boxes typically cost around €0.15–€0.35 per box depending on material and case size. Custom printed bagasse burger boxes start from around €0.22 per unit with a 500-unit minimum order.
