Custom Fries Sleeves
Fries are the most ordered side on any menu, which means the sleeve holding them gets more hand time than almost any other piece of packaging you buy. At Small Food Boxes, we supply custom fries sleeves at wholesale prices starting from just 100 units, built from heavy-duty, grease-resistant materials that handle fresh-out-of-the-fryer temperatures without softening, while keeping your logo sharp and visible on every serving that goes out the window or over the counter.
Gloss, Matte, and Spot UV coating options are available with custom sizes and styles to fit your fry portion format. Free design and free shipping are included on every order, with fast turnaround times and bulk pricing that gets better as your order grows. Get a quote today!
1. What are custom fries sleeves?
Custom fries sleeves are food-safe, branded paper or board holders designed to contain a portion of fries, onion rings, or other fried sides during service. They protect the customer’s hand from heat and grease, keep the fries contained and upright, and display your brand on every portion served. They are used by burger restaurants, QSR chains, food trucks, fish and chip shops, and stadium concession vendors.
2. How do I order custom fries sleeves?
Choose your portion size, material, sleeve style, and print design. Submit your artwork, review your digital proof, and once approved, your order goes into production with free design support and free shipping included on every wholesale order across the USA.
3. What is the minimum order quantity for custom fries sleeves?
Our minimum order starts at just 100 units, making it accessible for small burger joints, independent food vendors, and food trucks placing their first branded packaging order. Bulk wholesale orders of 1,000+, 5,000+, and 10,000+ units qualify for tiered pricing discounts.
4. What fry portion sizes do your sleeves fit?
We offer sleeves for small portions (2–3 inch width x 3–4 inch height), medium portions (3–4 inch width x 4–5 inch height), and large portions (4–5 inch width x 5–7 inch height). Fully custom dimensions are also available for specialty portions, loaded fry formats, or non-standard fry containers.
5. What materials are used for fries sleeves?
Our fries sleeves are available in white SBS paperboard, greaseproof kraft, coated art paper, and recycled board options ranging from 200 to 320 GSM. All materials include a heavy-duty, food-grade oil and grease resistant inner coating that handles fresh-out-of-the-fryer temperatures and high oil content without bleed-through to the outer print surface.
6. Are your fries sleeves grease and oil resistant?
Yes, and this is the most critical performance requirement for fry packaging. Our sleeves are produced with a heavy-duty oil barrier on the inner surface that stops frying oil from soaking through to the outside, even during extended hold times. The customer’s hand stays clean and your branding stays visible from the counter to the last fry.
7. Can your fries sleeves handle heat from freshly fried food?
Yes. Our sleeve materials are heat-tolerant up to 200°F, which covers the temperature range of freshly fried portions across all standard food service environments. The sleeve maintains its shape and rigidity throughout service without softening or collapsing, even when filled with hot fries immediately out of the fryer.
8. Can I print my logo and branding on fries sleeves?
Absolutely. You can print your logo, brand name, fun food artwork, QR codes, allergen information, social media handles, or promotional content using CMYK or PMS color matching. Both single-sided and double-sided printing options are available to get maximum brand coverage on every portion served.
9. What sleeve styles are available for fries?
We offer open-top cone sleeves, straight-sided box sleeves, scalloped edge sleeves, full wrap sleeves, and tuck-tab closure sleeves. The open-top cone sleeve is the most widely used format in burger restaurants and QSR environments. The straight-sided sleeve suits loaded fry portions where a wider, more stable base is needed to hold the weight.
10. What finishing options are available for fries sleeves?
We offer Gloss, Matte, and Spot UV finishing options. Gloss is the most popular choice for fries sleeves as it gives bright, vibrant colors that stand out at busy burger counters, food truck windows, and stadium concession stands where bold branding competes for attention.
11. Do you offer eco-friendly fries sleeve options?
Yes. Recyclable, compostable, and FSC-certified fries sleeve options are available, including unbleached kraft, recycled board, and chlorine-free materials with soy-based inks and water-based coatings for food businesses that want sustainable packaging without compromising on heat resistance or grease performance.
12. How long does production take for custom fries sleeves?
Standard turnaround is 10–14 business days. Rush production is available in 7–10 business days for restaurant launches, summer food festival seasons, QSR campaign rollouts, seasonal menu updates, or any last-minute restock that needs a faster lead time.
13. Is free design support included with my order?
Yes, free design support is included on every order regardless of size. Our team helps with dieline setup, layout, color matching, allergen information placement, and overall brand alignment so your fries sleeve looks exactly right before any production begins, whether you are ordering 100 units or 100,000.
14. Can I get a physical sample before placing a full order?
Yes. We provide a digital PDF proof and a 3D mockup before production starts. Physical samples are also available on request so you can check the material weight, oil resistance performance, sleeve rigidity, and print quality on your actual fry portion before committing to a full production run.
15. Can I order fries sleeves in multiple sizes within one batch?
Yes. We can produce sleeves for different portion sizes, small, medium, and large, within a single order at the same wholesale pricing rate, starting from just 100 units per size. This works well for restaurants that offer multiple fry portion options and need a different sleeve size for each one on the menu.
