Paper Fried Chicken Bucket Forming Solution

Fried chicken is a typical hot and greasy food product, which requires the paper bucket to have excellent heat resistance, oil-proof properties, structural strength, and lid compatibility. Compared to popcorn buckets, fried chicken buckets require higher standards in paper weight, PE coating, and bucket design to prevent softening, leakage, or collapse during usage.

1. Application Scenarios

-Fast food chains

-Takeaway packaging for fried foods (chicken wings, popcorn chicken, etc.)

-Supermarket hot food sections

-Holiday sharing buckets or family-size combos

2. Capacity & Paper Weight Recommendations

✅ Double-sided PE coated paper is strongly recommended: the inner layer provides oil resistance, and the outer layer improves moisture resistance and stiffness, ensuring safety and durability for hot food packaging.

3. Structural Design Recommendations

Thickened rim design: Enhances strength and improves lid sealing

Reinforced bottom sealing: Boosts load-bearing capacity and prevents oil leakage

Enhanced bucket stiffness: Suitable for hot food packaging and delivery conditions

Lid options: Paper or PP lids with vent holes are recommended to prevent sogginess and maintain food texture

4. Summary & Advantages

Recommended Capacity: 26oz–130oz, adaptable for individual to group servings

Structural Features: Large diameter, high-stiffness design for stacking and carrying

Paper Configuration: 260–320gsm double PE coated paper for optimal oil resistance and heat tolerance

Core Benefits: Leak-proof, durable, food-safe, and ideal for brand visibility

With proper configuration of bucket size, structure, and raw materials, you can significantly improve production efficiency and end-user satisfaction. This makes fried chicken buckets an indispensable packaging option in fast food and delivery scenarios.
