Food Packaging
Why do we need food packaging? Here are five key reasons:
If you are a take-away food outlet or manufacturer, using the correct type of food packaging is one less thing to worry about. Our hot take away food packaging can help to keep food warm for customer convenience and much of it is microwave safe. We also have a huge selection of food packaging for cold take away food and drink and for small food manufacturers including ready meal packaging.
- Protecting your prepared food becoming damaged in transit
- Improve the retail presentation of your food
- Increasing value at the point of purchase
- In store protection from airborne contamination, food tampering and counterfeiting
- Extend the life of food by reducing food degradation and controlling the temperature

Sustainable and Eco Friendly
Over the years we have been in business (established 2003), food packaging has become much more sophisticated and eco friendly, driven by a desire from within to improve eco credentials of the food to go industry and driven by customer demand.
Where possible, we have marked whether the packaging materials are recyclable, compostable (industrial / home) and biodegradable. We were the first on-line food packaging retailer to upload recycling properties / logos on our range of food packaging.
The food packaging range will be changing considerably with UK government introduced legislation particularly around single use plastics.

What are the Different Types of Food Packaging?
There are as many types of food boxes as there are types of food. They come in a wide range of shapes, sizes and colours, just like the food they protect. A popular option is plastic trays for customer takeaway or delivery. These sturdy containers make sure the product gets to the client as if they were eating right there in your restaurant. When you're deciding on food packaging supplies, you know presentation is as important as the dish itself.
