Description
Deep Fill Cardboard Sandwich Wedges for Chilled Food-to-Go
Present generously filled sandwiches neatly with these deep fill biodegradable cardboard sandwich wedges. Supplied in a bulk pack of 500 wedges, they are designed for cafés, delis, sandwich bars, convenience stores, caterers and takeaway businesses preparing chilled grab-and-go food.
The deep wedge shape provides additional room for sandwiches containing thicker breads, generous fillings and layered ingredients. It is suitable for popular combinations such as chicken salad, tuna mayonnaise, cheese and pickle, egg mayonnaise, falafel, vegetables and other substantial cold sandwich fillings.
A clear PLA window keeps the sandwich visible while it remains inside the pack. This helps customers view the bread and filling at chilled counters, meal-deal displays and self-service shelves without opening the packaging.
The rear-opening format allows staff to place sandwiches into the wedge efficiently during preparation. Once closed correctly, the cardboard structure helps protect the sandwich and supports a clean, professional presentation for display, collection and takeaway service.

Designed for Deep-Filled Sandwiches
Standard sandwich packs can be restrictive when sandwiches contain several layers or generous portions of filling. The deeper wedge shape provides more room for thicker sandwich combinations while helping the pack retain its presentation on a chilled shelf.
Typical sandwich fillings include:
- Chicken and salad
- Chicken and bacon
- Tuna mayonnaise and sweetcorn
- Egg mayonnaise and cress
- Cheese and pickle
- Ham, cheese and salad
- Falafel and hummus
- Roasted vegetables
- Coronation chicken
- Club-style layered sandwiches
The correct fit will depend on the bread thickness, number of layers and quantity of filling. Avoid forcing an oversized sandwich into the wedge, as this may affect the closure and presentation.
Clear PLA Window for Product Visibility
The transparent PLA window provides a clear view of the sandwich inside the pack. This can help colourful fillings and fresh ingredients stand out in a chilled display and allows customers to inspect the product before purchasing.
Good product visibility is particularly useful for:
- Meal-deal counters
- Grab-and-go refrigerators
- Self-service cafés
- Convenience stores
- Workplace and school catering
- Event and contract catering
- Sandwich bars and delicatessens
Labels should be positioned carefully so they provide the required product information without unnecessarily covering the viewing window.
Rear-Opening Design for Efficient Packing
The rear-opening design gives staff access to the inside of the wedge during sandwich preparation. This supports quicker loading and closing when producing multiple sandwiches for a chilled counter or catering order.
For a neat result:
- Allow freshly prepared ingredients to cool before packing
- Place the sandwich into the wedge without compressing the bread
- Keep loose filling away from the closing edges
- Close the rear section carefully and completely
- Apply labels without obstructing the closure
- Store the packed sandwich under suitable chilled conditions
Grease-Resistant Cardboard for Cleaner Presentation
The grease-resistant coating helps the cardboard remain presentable when used with suitable sandwich fillings. This is useful for mayonnaise-based, cheese, meat and salad fillings that may transfer a small amount of moisture or oil to the packaging.
Grease resistance does not make the wedge completely waterproof. Very wet fillings, excessive sauces or sandwiches packed while warm may still affect the cardboard over time. Drain high-moisture ingredients where appropriate and keep prepared sandwiches properly chilled.
Ideal for Cafés, Delis and Grab-and-Go Retail
The case of 500 wedges is suitable for businesses that prepare sandwiches regularly or require a dependable packaging supply for events and contract catering.
Typical users include:
- Cafés and coffee shops
- Delicatessens and sandwich bars
- Convenience stores
- Petrol station food counters
- School and workplace canteens
- Event and contract caterers
- Bakeries and food-to-go retailers
- Takeaways and delivery businesses
The plain cardboard exterior can be used with suitable business branding, product names, prices, use-by information, ingredients and allergen labels.
For Cold Sandwiches and Chilled Display
These wedges are intended for cold sandwiches and chilled food-to-go. They are not designed for heating food in an oven or microwave.
Prepare, store and display sandwiches in line with your food-safety procedures. Keep chilled products at the required temperature and follow appropriate guidance for preparation dates, use-by information and allergen labelling.
