French fries box sizes

A French fries box is the paper scoop fries and chips are served in: a tall back, a low front to reach in, and a bottom that folds flat. Here are typical sizes, from a snack scoop to a fast food box, so you can start from one that fits your portion.

Typical sizes, not a standard: every supplier's list is a little different. Length and width are the bottom of the box, height is the corners. Your printer will adapt them to your portions.

How to measure

  • Length and width: the bottom, crease to crease. The top opens wider: 1.3 times the length.
  • Height: the corners. The back rises a third higher in the middle, and the front's scoop dips a third lower, so fries show above it.
  • Portion: the same bottom with a taller back holds more. Go up in height before you go up in length.

Which board?

The default is 250 g paperboard, 0.35 mm, grease resistant for hot food. A large box can take 300 or 400 g board. The board doesn't move the folds: it only trims the glue flaps a little.
