Paper Bags & Carrier Bags for Takeaway Orders

For takeaway collection and delivery, the bag needs to suit the size, shape and weight of the complete order. Our kraft paper carrier bags include a choice of sizes and handle styles for foodservice and retail use.

Polythene Food Bags for Storage, Preparation & Portioning

Our clear polythene food bags are available in a broad choice of sizes and gauges for applications including food preparation, portioning, ingredient organisation, bakery use and storage. Selected ranges include both perforated and non-perforated options.

For small portions and products that need a convenient reusable closure, browse our self seal and grip seal bags . Businesses requiring quick-access bags for produce counters and high-volume food preparation can choose food bags on roll .

For applications where air needs to be removed from the package, our vacuum bag range provides multiple sizes for meat, fish, cheese, produce and prepared foods. Always match the bag type to your vacuum-sealing machine and check the individual product specification for freezer, sous-vide or temperature suitability.

Bags for Bakeries, Delis, Butchers & Hot Food

Bakeries, patisseries and delis often need packaging that combines practical handling with good product visibility. Our film-fronted paper bags allow customers to see products such as pastries, sandwiches and bakery items while keeping them contained for display and collection.

How to Choose the Right Food or Takeaway Bag

• For carrying takeaway orders: choose a paper or plastic carrier bag with dimensions suitable for the containers and total order size.
• For food preparation and storage: look at clear polythene, self-seal, vacuum or bags-on-roll ranges and confirm the individual product's food-contact and storage suitability.
• For bakery and counter display: paper bags and film-fronted bags provide practical options for bread, pastries, sandwiches and other bakery products.
• For meat and deli preparation: use bags and papers specifically intended for butcher, deli or food-preparation applications.
• For hot food: choose a bag specifically designed for the food and temperature involved, such as an appropriate grease-resistant paper or foil-lined format.
• For commercial waste: use bin bags and refuse sacks for waste handling rather than direct food-contact applications.
