Yes, many modern paper food boxes feature grease-resistant coatings that help them perform well with saucy, oily, or fried foods. These coatings—often food-safe and plant-based—act as a barrier, preventing leaks and keeping the exterior dry.
While fully leak-proof performance depends on duration and food temperature, these boxes are generally suitable for short-term takeout or dine-in service. Fold-over flaps, tab-lock lids, and reinforced bases help minimize spills and leaks.
They're a practical and sustainable solution for restaurants, food trucks, and caterers who want performance without plastic.
