Product Detail
OEM compact snap lock kraft boxes #4 (800ml) and #8 (1080ml). Leak-proof, PE-lined, perfect for bento and single portions. FDA & EU cert. Order samples!
Overview
Our #4 (800ml, 108×128mm, h65mm) and #8 (1080ml, 135×170mm, h48mm) compact snap lock boxes occupy the precision-portioned single-serving category that represents the highest-volume segment in the takeaway packaging market — the individual lunch, the bento box, the single entrée, the side dish, and the portion-controlled meal that millions of consumers purchase daily from convenience stores, fast-casual restaurants, workplace canteens, and grab-and-go counters worldwide. Produced in our ISO 9001:2015-certified Shandong facility using 337g imported kraft paper with 18g PE interior coating, these compact sizes deliver the same three-point snap lock security, heat-sealed edge leak prevention, and premium grease-proof performance as our full product line, concentrated into footprints optimized for individual consumption, standard meal portioning, and efficient counter display arrangement. The distinct dimensional profiles of these two sizes — the deep-walled, square-footprint #4 and the shallow-wide, rectangular #8 — provide food operators with two fundamentally different presentation geometries for single-serving applications.

Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Benefit for B2B Buyers |
|---|---|
| Deep-wall #4 (65mm) and shallow-wide #8 (48mm) serve distinct portioning geometries | The tall #4 suits vertical-stacked meals (rice base + topping + garnish) and soup-style dishes, while the wide #8 provides horizontal display for bento-style side-by-side arrangements — giving operators two presentation strategies from one supplier |
| Three-point snap lock sized for single-hand opening | Compact containers are most frequently opened one-handed at desks, on public transit, and at park benches — the snap lock engagement is calibrated for effortless single-thumb release while maintaining secure closure during bag carry and transit |
| 337g kraft premium weight at compact scale | Delivers a noticeable quality hand-feel that distinguishes the container from the thin, flimsy single-serving boxes common in budget takeaway packaging — communicating food quality before the customer even opens the lid |
| High unit-count per shipping carton | Compact #4 and #8 sizes pack in significantly higher quantities per carton than larger formats, reducing per-unit international freight cost and maximizing FCL (full container load) efficiency for bulk import orders |
| Heat-sealed edges prevent sauce leakage in bag-carried containers | Single-serving containers are most commonly carried in shopping bags, tote bags, and office bags where they tilt and shift during walking — heat-sealed edges ensure zero sauce migration regardless of container orientation during pedestrian carry |
| Grab-and-go counter display efficiency | Compact rectangular footprints tessellate efficiently on refrigerated display shelves, heated counters, and grab-and-go merchandising fixtures, maximizing the number of units visible and accessible to customers in retail-style food service environments |

| Workplace canteen and cafeteria to-go | Corporate, hospital, and university canteen operations offering take-to-desk and take-to-room meal packaging for employees, staff, and students who prefer eating at their workstation rather than in the communal dining area | #8 (1080ml standard meal), #4 (800ml diet/side) |
| Airline and train catering single-serve meals | In-flight catering companies and railway dining car operators packaging individual hot meals, snack boxes, and dietary-specific meal options in compact containers that fit standard tray dimensions and galley storage racks | #4 (800ml aircraft tray-compatible), #8 (1080ml train dining) |

Why Global B2B Buyers Choose Fude Packaging
Fude Packaging brings 15+ years of specialized manufacturing insight to our compact snap lock box line, recognizing that single-serving containers face a fundamentally different set of performance demands than larger formats — they are opened one-handed, carried in shoulder bags, displayed on retail shelves, fitted into airline trays, and handled by consumers with less care and attention than premium catered meals, requiring a higher standard of snap lock reliability, edge seal integrity, and structural resilience per unit of capacity. Our ISO 9001:2015-certified quality system includes compact-format-specific testing for single-hand opening force, retail shelf stacking compression, and tilted-orientation liquid retention, validating that every batch meets the everyday-use performance standards convenience store chains and fast-casual restaurants cannot afford to compromise. All compact boxes carry the same independently SGS-verified multi-market compliance — EU EC 1935/2004, US FDA 21 CFR, Japan Food Sanitation Act, Korea MFDS — as our full-size range, with FSC-certified paper materials satisfying the sustainability procurement requirements that convenience store chains and airline caterers increasingly mandate. Our 500+ million-piece annual capacity and high per-carton unit density for compact formats translate into competitive per-unit freight costs on international bulk shipments, with 24/7 multilingual account support managing orders across all global time zones.
