Compliance & Requirements

Food & Beverage Packaging Requirements

Industry-specific regulations and how Cubit helps you stay compliant.

Requirement

Why It Matters

Cubit's Solution

FDA Food Contact Compliance

Materials in direct contact with food must not leach harmful chemicals or alter the food's composition, as mandated by FDA 21 CFR regulations.

We source papers, inks, and films that are fully compliant with FDA food safety standards for direct contact.

Barrier Protection

Oxygen, moisture, and light are the primary causes of food spoilage. Proper barrier properties extend shelf life and reduce food waste.

We offer high-barrier films (EVOH, metallized PET) and coatings customized to your product's specific OTR and WVTR needs.

Tamper Evidence

Consumers need visual assurance that their food has not been opened or compromised before purchase.

We integrate tear notches, shrink bands, and safety seals into our packaging designs to ensure consumer confidence.

Labeling Accuracy

Misprinted nutrition facts or allergen warnings can lead to costly recalls and serious health risks for consumers.

Our high-resolution digital printing ensures legible 6pt type for regulatory text and accurate barcode scanning.

Grease & Oil Resistance

Fatty foods can degrade standard paperboard, causing unsightly staining and structural failure during transport.

We utilize kit-treated papers and poly-linings that resist grease penetration without sacrificing print quality.

Supply Chain Durability

Food products often face cold storage, humidity, and stacking pressure during distribution.

Our structural engineers test materials for wet strength and crush resistance to withstand refrigerators and pallets.

Ordering food and beverage packaging in volume

Snack, pantry, frozen and beverage brands entering grocery chains, along with co-packers, private-label programs and meal-kit companies, order packaging in volume, often a pouch, a carton and a shipping case for each product. Every item on the request is priced at your quantity and at up to three larger runs. Artwork, including the nutrition panel you supply, is shown on a proof for your approval before printing. Production takes 10 to 14 business days once you approve, and the order is delivered duty paid (DDP) to you or your co-packer.

Common Questions

Food & Beverage Packaging FAQ

Food-grade refers to the material itself being suitable for food contact, while food-safe means the finished product (including inks, glues, and manufacturing environment) is safe for its intended use. Cubit ensures all components of your packaging meet food-safe criteria.

If your product contains moisture, oil, or fat, you likely need a barrier coating (like poly or aqueous coating) to prevent the box from getting soggy or stained. Dry goods like pasta may only require standard paperboard.

Generally, heavily grease-stained paper cannot be recycled because the oil contaminates the pulp. However, many of our products are compostable, which is often a better disposal method for food-soiled packaging.

We offer digital printing for stand-up pouches with MOQs as low as 500 units, making it easy for startups to test the market. For larger volume runs, rotogravure printing offers lower unit costs.

While we handle the printing, the design content is the brand's responsibility. We recommend reviewing FDA regulation 21 CFR 101 for nutrition panel formatting and font size requirements before finalizing your artwork.

Most recycled cardboard (PCR) is not FDA-approved for direct food contact due to potential contaminants in the recycling stream. We recommend using a virgin paperboard layer or a food-safe barrier liner for direct contact areas.

Yes. Put each item on one request with its specification and quantity. Every item is priced at that quantity and at up to three larger runs, and the quote shows Normal, Express and Priority delivery for each. One rep handles the request and every reorder, and each printed design is approved on a proof first.

Yes. Printed rollstock can be quoted for form-fill-seal lines. Send the web width, print repeat, core size and largest roll diameter your line takes, plus the film structure if one is required. Film artwork is approved on a proof before printing, and the quote covers your quantity and up to three larger runs.

Begin with the date the retailer or your co-packer needs packaging on hand. Allow for proof approval, 10 to 14 business days of production and the delivery option chosen on the quote. Pricing up to three larger runs on the same quote helps you decide how much stock to hold as more stores come on. The same rep handles each reorder.
