Pergament is a printing house and cardboard packaging factory in Chisinau. We make takeaway and delivery packaging: takeout boxes, fast food boxes, cup holders and cup sleeves, sauce cups, leak-proof paperboard containers with lids. Runs start from 500 pieces; a repeat run takes 3–5 working days with an existing cutting die, and a new order takes one extra day for the prototype and structure approval. We are the manufacturer, not a reseller: we print, die-cut and glue the packaging ourselves, at our own plant in Chisinau. Our paperboard food packaging holds ANSP sanitary approval P-23739/2026, valid until 04.08.2029.

The spread within a tier comes from size, board and lamination: a small box and a full-size one cost differently at the same run. The exact price is costed operation by operation in our production system — for your structure, board and run size — and is ready within a couple of hours.
Lead times: a repeat run from 500 pcs — 3–5 working days with an existing die; a new order — one extra day for the prototype and approval; runs under 500 pcs — on quotation. A run of ECO containers with your logo — within two weeks.
Structures and sizes
We do not impose a fixed grid of sizes: our engineering team designs the structure around your dish and portion, and our library holds more than 3,000 cutting dies — if a suitable one already exists, you do not pay for a new die.
| Product | Size |
|---|---|
| Baby box | 210 × 125 × 110 mm |
| Hot dog box | sized to the portion, structure made to order |
| Paperboard food container with lid | 420, 700, 900, 1000, 1400 ml |
| Compartment sauce tray with lid | 3 compartments |
| Cup holder and cup sleeve | to fit your cup |
| Combo and meal box | around the contents of the order |
Materials and food safety
- PE-coated board, 280 g/m² — a grease- and moisture-resistant barrier: the box does not soak through with grease or sauce in a courier's thermal bag. The core material for hot and "wet" food.
- GC1 board, 215–290 g/m² — for dry items, wrap sleeves and cup sleeves.
- Lamination films — matte, gloss, soft-touch.
- We import board and films directly and keep them in our own warehouse: the material is, as a rule, in stock, and the sheet is chosen to fit your blank — less waste in cutting, lower price, no middleman margin. More about our materials warehouse is on the About us page.
- Food contact approval: ANSP sanitary approval P-23739/2026 was issued for our own product and is valid until 04.08.2029; a finished, logo-printed box was tested in the laboratory — overall migration 4.3 mg/dm² against a limit of 10. We print with food-safe inks, applied to the outer face of the pack. The documents are on the food packaging certification page.
- Leak-proof paperboard containers with PET lids — for hot food and dishes in sauce: dishes in sauce arrive without leaking, the body handles up to 100 °C — even food straight from the oven or off the fire — and, unlike styrofoam, does not burn through. The body is PE-laminated paperboard, the lid is food-grade PET; the sanitary approval covers the paperboard packaging.
How we work
- You send the product dimensions — or simply a photo of the dish and the portion weight — to contact@pergament.md or by phone +373 79 044 417.
- Within a couple of hours you get the quote: we cost it operation by operation in our production system, with no discrepancies between quote and invoice.
- We make a prototype from board — plotter-cut, without making a cutting die: you can try the packaging on the dish before the run starts.
- Test batch — you check the packaging in your kitchen and with your couriers. Small runs are printed digitally, with no run set-up costs.
- Production run from 500 pieces: printing, lamination, die-cutting, gluing — all at our own plant in Chisinau.
- You collect the run yourself or receive it in batches — we keep it in our warehouse and ship on your schedule.
Questions and answers
What is the minimum run for takeaway packaging?
From 500 pieces. For some products the economics start higher: French fries boxes are ordered from 2,000 pcs. You can always try without a run: a board prototype — from 30 minutes, a small digitally printed batch — from one day.
How much does a takeout box cost?
A guide from 2025–2026 orders: 1,000–5,000 pcs — from 5.50 MDL, 5,000–20,000 — from 4.75 MDL (VAT included). Not an offer: the exact quote is costed operation by operation, for your structure and run size, and is ready within a couple of hours.
How many days does production take?
A repeat run from 500 pieces — 3–5 working days with an existing cutting die. A new order — one extra day for the prototype and structure approval. Runs under 500 pieces — on quotation.
Will the packaging withstand grease, sauce and the ride in a thermal bag?
Yes. For hot and "wet" food we use 280 g/m² PE-coated board — a grease- and moisture-resistant barrier. For hot food and dishes in sauce there are leak-proof paperboard containers with PET lids.
Is the packaging approved for food contact?
Yes: ANSP sanitary approval P-23739/2026 was issued for our product and is valid until 04.08.2029; tests on a finished box showed migration of 4.3 against a limit of 10. Printing — with food-safe inks, on the outer face of the pack.
Will you design a structure for our dish?
Yes, that is our normal mode: the engineering team designs the packaging around the portion size, and among our 3,000+ cutting dies a suitable one may already exist — then you do not pay for a die. We assemble the prototype before the run starts.
How to order?
Email contact@pergament.md or call +373 79 044 417: send the dimensions or a photo of the dish — we will propose a structure and a quote. Production: Chisinau, str. Columna 170/C.
