Purpose-built packaging for modern food service.

Because packaging should help you sell more food.

Packaging shouldn’t be an afterthought. At Dogfish, we practice the art of optimized packaging — creating solutions so dialed-in, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without them. Better performance, better presentation, better sales. Because great packaging doesn’t just hold your food — it helps you sell more of it.

Because you deserve packaging that works as hard as you do.

About Us

WHERE DESIGN MEETS PERFORMANCE.

Dogfish Packaging was born from a simple idea: the “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t actually fit anyone. We wanted something better — packaging that works as hard as the people who use it.

From independent restaurants to large dining programs, we help our partners design packaging that balances form, function, and sustainability — without compromise. We bring decades of hands-on experience in food service packaging and supply chain management, so we know how to build solutions that are beautiful on the outside and tough where it counts.

Mission Statement

AT DOGFISH PACKAGING, OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE — TO HELP YOU SELL MORE FOOD.

We believe great packaging isn’t just about holding a product. It’s about protecting your brand, delighting your customers, and keeping them coming back for more.

How do we do it?
Let’s just say we have our own recipe for success — equal parts insight, relationships, and follow-through.

If you’re curious, reach out. We’ll happily share a little of our secret sauce.

Old School Family Business. Modern Packaging.

If you’ve noticed our entire industry being scooped up by private equity — and you miss the old-school way of doing business, where you’re more than just a line on a P&L — let’s talk. We’re not here to bash private equity. But most of our customers tell us the truth: it’s just not the same as it used to be.

At Dogfish, we keep it personal, responsive, and focused on what matters — your success.

We start with your reality — menu, service style, operations, and all the quirks that make your business yours. Then we design the right fit, pulling from a mix of trusted manufacturers and custom solutions.

The goal isn’t to sell you packaging. The goal is to help you sell more food.

The Dogfish Promise

We will never do this! You know the drill…

Step 1

A smiling sales rep strolls in.

Step 2

They unload a stack of catalogs and a bag of random samples.

Step 3

They say the magic words: “What samples do you like?”

Step 4

You nod politely, test it out, and…

Step 5

Wait a week or two to get pricing.

Step 6

Surprise — it’s almost right. Until the food ends up on a floorboard or arrives sad and soggy.
