04Materials & compliance
Food contact, recyclability and PPWR
What the product is certified for, and what happens to it after use.
EU PPWR readiness
The dispersion-coated board carries no PE lamination, so the carton enters the paper recycling stream intact. Under the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation this is the difference between a compliant carton and a reformulation project in 2030.
Food contact
Manufactured to EU 1935/2004 and EU 10/2011. Migration testing certificates are issued per production batch and accompany every export shipment.
Chain of custody
FSC Mix board available on request. Certificate number to confirm. Chain-of-custody documentation travels with the order.

Applications
Who this box is for
Three buyers, three different reasons the same carton works.
-
Supermarket chilled
Retail sushi in a chilled cabinet needs a window that stays clear at 4 °C and a board that survives condensation without edge-wicking.
-
Delivery aggregators
Stacking strength and a tamper-evident closure matter more than shelf appeal. The lock-bottom construction carries four boxes stacked without deformation.
-
Restaurant takeaway
Lower volumes, higher print value. The 5,000-unit minimum exists so an independent group can order branded packaging without a container commitment.

09Procurement FAQ
Questions buyers ask
-
Which certifications does the sushi box carry?
FSC Mix on request, BRCGS Packaging, ISO 9001, and food-contact compliance to EU 1935/2004 and EU 10/2011.
-
Do you supply the dieline before we order?
Yes, free and without registration. Download it from the downloads section, design onto it, and send back PDF/X-4.
-
Can you match a Pantone colour on kraft board?
Yes, with a white underprint. Without it, uncoated kraft shifts a Pantone reference by roughly two to three shades toward brown.
-
How long does delivery to Germany take?
Production takes 12 to 18 days from proof approval, plus 4 to 7 days road freight from İstanbul to Germany — around 3 to 4 weeks door to door.
-
Is the Bilir sushi box recyclable in the EU?
Yes. The carton uses dispersion coating rather than PE lamination, so the board enters the kerbside paper stream. The rPET window should be separated first.
-
What is the minimum order for a custom-printed sushi box?
The minimum order for a custom-printed Bilir sushi box is 5,000 units in a standard size. Custom die-cut sizes start at 10,000 units because new tooling is required.
