What is a "to-go box"?
A to-go box, also known as a takeout container or takeaway box, is a disposable or reusable container used for packing leftover food or meals to be eaten outside of a restaurant or food establishment. These boxes are typically made of paper, cardboard, plastic, or foam, and come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different types of food items. To-go boxes often feature a hinged or lidded design to securely hold the food inside and prevent spills or leaks during transportation.
Examples
After enjoying dinner at the restaurant, the server brought a to-go box for the uneaten portions of our meal.
As a sustainable practice, the cafe encouraged customers to bring their reusable to-go boxes for take-out orders.
