Catering Transport Box or Windowed Sleeve

Two different needs call for two different solutions.

The transport box encloses one or more prepared trays for taking them to the venue. It opens from the front and closes with a hinged lid. It is the ideal solution for delivering a buffet, a corporate brunch, or a tray of petits fours without anything shifting during transport.

The windowed sleeve does the opposite: it dresses the tray while allowing its contents to be seen through a transparent window. The customer can see what they are receiving before opening it, while the tray remains protected and clean. It is the right choice when presentation matters just as much as transport, whether for display or delivery.

A Box Designed for Your Trays

One important point when purchasing: these cardboard boxes are designed to hold an already-prepared tray, not to be filled directly. Arrange the food on the tray, slide the tray into the box, and close it. The food stays on the tray and never comes into contact with the bottom of the box.

This approach determines the format you need. The Caterbox Atlas 1/1 transport box is sized to accommodate trays of the same format and their lids. Some models hold a single tray, while others can stack several trays with their lids. Check the product sheet to see how many trays each box can hold, and look for the non-slip tray when the box is designed for one: it keeps the tray securely in place during transport.

To create a complete setup, choose these boxes alongside the presentation trays they are designed to transport, as well as the display stands that add height once you arrive at the venue.

Save Storage Space

A bulky empty box means wasted storage space. Some of these boxes are supplied flat and assembled when needed: simply unfold them, insert the tabs into the slots, and the box takes shape. When flat, a stack of boxes takes up no more space than the thickness of a few trays.

Pre-assembled folded models, meanwhile, can be stacked, reducing the space they occupy on shelves and making it easier to transport them empty between events. In both cases, the cardboard remains recyclable, and part of the range is made in France.

Catering Boxes and Finishes

The finish of the box is part of the presentation, especially when it arrives closed at the customer's premises. Embossed white, ivory, silver, or black finishes change the overall look without changing the function: the same box can be used for a high-end wedding or a business lunch, depending on the colour chosen.

Some boxes can be customised in your brand colours. Since the packaging arrives closed at the customer's premises and sometimes leaves with them, it becomes a travelling brand ambassador. The PlanetScore© rating displayed on each product sheet, from A to E, makes it easier to compare two references before making a decision.
