takeout boxes
Restaurant food carriers
Takeout boxes are containers used to package food for carrying away from a restaurant.
The most recognizable is the folded paperboard carton with a wire handle, iconic of Chinese-American restaurants, though the term covers any disposable container for prepared food: Stack the takeout boxes in the fridge.
Also called to-go boxes.
