Compliance & requirements

What food brands need — and how we solve it

The regulations and physical demands unique to food packaging, and what we do about each one.

Requirement

Why it matters

How Packaging Nova solves it

FDA food-contact compliance

Materials touching food must not leach chemicals or alter the product — FDA 21 CFR Parts 174–186.

✅ We source papers, inks and coatings certified for direct food contact, and document compliance with every order.

Grease & oil resistance

Fatty foods degrade untreated board, causing staining and structural failure in transit.

✅ Kit-treated papers and poly-linings that resist grease penetration without dulling your print.

Barrier protection

Oxygen, moisture and light drive spoilage. Barrier properties extend shelf life and cut waste.

✅ Barrier liners and coatings matched to your product's moisture and oxygen requirements.

Labelling accuracy

Misprinted nutrition or allergen text causes recalls and real health risk.

✅ High-resolution printing that keeps 6pt regulatory type legible and barcodes scannable first time.

Tamper evidence

Customers need visual assurance the food hasn't been opened before purchase.

✅ Tear notches, safety seals and tamper-evident closures built into the dieline.

Cold-chain durability

Refrigeration, humidity and pallet stacking crush ordinary board.

✅ Wet-strength and crush-tested stocks specified for chilled and frozen distribution.

Industry overview

Why packaging matters in food & beverage

Written by the Packaging Nova team. Material and compliance specifications reviewed by our packaging engineers. Last updated July 2026.

Food packaging carries a double burden that most other categories never face. It has to satisfy hard regulatory requirements — FDA 21 CFR compliance for anything touching the product — while also doing the ordinary commercial job of standing out on a crowded shelf or making a delivery feel considered.

The physical demands are unforgiving too. Fat and oil migrate through untreated board. Oxygen and moisture shorten shelf life. Refrigeration weakens fibre, and pallet stacking crushes anything under-specified. A box that looks beautiful and fails in the cold chain is a failed box.

Where brands get it wrong

The most common mistake is choosing packaging before choosing the material, then discovering the grease resistance or barrier properties don’t hold. The second is over-ordering: committing to thousands of units of a design that hasn’t been tested with real customers yet.

Both are avoidable. We start from the product — what it is, how it’s stored, how it ships — and specify the board, treatment and finish around it. And because we have no minimum order, you can run 50 units of a new SKU, put them in front of customers, and scale only once it works.

 

Worth knowing: FDA 21 CFR Parts 174–186 compliance is mandatory for every food-contact material sold in the US, and packaging is the first thing a shopper judges a food brand on — before taste, price or ingredients.

FAQ

Custom mailer boxes — your questions answered

Pricing, minimum order quantity, turnaround, artwork files, eco materials and shipping to the USA & Canada.

What is the minimum order quantity for custom mailer boxes?
There is no minimum order quantity for custom mailer boxes at Packaging Nova. Order 10 boxes or 10,000 — ideal for startups, small businesses and product testing. Most custom box suppliers in the USA and Canada enforce a 100–500 unit MOQ; we do not.
The cost of custom printed mailer boxes depends on box size, material (kraft, corrugated E-flute or B-flute, SBS), print coverage, finishing and quantity. There are no setup or plate fees, and larger runs lower the per-unit price. Send your specs for exact custom box pricing within 15 minutes.
Standard turnaround for custom printed boxes is 8–12 business days from artwork approval. Rush order packaging is available in as little as 4–5 business days. Free shipping is included across the USA and Canada.
Yes. Free packaging design support is included with every order — we create your print-ready dieline, set up your artwork, and send a free 2D dieline and 3D box mockup for approval before printing. No design fees.
We accept vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) for the crispest print, plus high-resolution PNG, JPG and TIFF at 300 DPI or higher. Artwork should be CMYK with 3mm (0.125\”) bleed. We check every file free and fix pre-press issues before printing.
Our most popular eco-friendly packaging options are 100% recycled kraft paperboard, recyclable corrugated E-flute and B-flute, and FSC-certified stocks. Compostable and plastic-free finishes are also available — all fully printable with your branding.
Yes. We print and ship custom boxes across both the USA and Canada, with free shipping on custom orders. Canadian orders are quoted and produced on the same timeline as US orders, including rush options.
Custom mailer boxes use roll-end tuck construction — they self-assemble without tape, print beautifully inside and out, and are built for e-commerce unboxing. Shipping boxes are regular slotted cartons built for bulk transit and stacking strength.
