What a sandwich box is for
A sandwich box is three walls that close into a triangle, which is the shape a sandwich cut corner to corner already has. Nothing is wasted around it: the wedge sits against the two long walls and the window in the front face shows the filling, which is the whole point in a chilled cabinet where the customer buys with their eyes and never opens the box.
The window is a cut, not an extra part, so it costs nothing to place but everything to place well. Leave it over the filling rather than the bread, keep your logo and the label area off the film, and remember the box is usually seen edge-on in a fridge rack, so the narrow top face does more work than the big front one.
Board choice is about the fridge. A coated white board resists the damp that builds up around a chilled sandwich and keeps print sharp through a day on display. Delis, cafés, garage forecourts, supermarket meal deals and office catering all run through these in volume, and almost all of them stack the boxes upright.
One thing to plan for: a chilled sandwich has to carry an ingredient list and a date, and that label is going somewhere. Decide where before you design rather than after, or the sticker lands on your logo. If you are printing the box anyway, print the fixed part of that information into the back panel and leave a small clear rectangle for the variable date, and you have removed a consumable from the counter.
