Cardboard Food Container Sizes & Uses

Choosing the correct food box capacity helps with portion control and takeaway presentation. Our range includes different container sizes for snacks, main meals, salads, noodles and larger food portions.

Are Kraft Cardboard Food Containers Recyclable?

Paperboard food containers provide an alternative to some traditional plastic packaging formats. However, the environmental characteristics depend on the materials, protective lining, coatings and disposal arrangements.

Not all cardboard food boxes are recyclable or compostable. Food contamination and protective linings may affect whether a container can be accepted by local recycling facilities.

Some products are marketed as biodegradable, but this does not necessarily mean they are suitable for home composting or ordinary paper recycling.

For alternative food packaging materials, explore our bagasse and pulp food containers, including moulded-fibre takeaway bowls and meal boxes.
