Frequently Asked Questions
What takeaway food packaging is best for hot meals?
Hot meals are best packed in aluminium foil containers, heavy-duty kraft bowls, or microwave-safe polypropylene (PP) containers with steam-vented or secure clip-on lids to retain heat and prevent soggy delivery.
What packaging is best for cold food like salads?
Cold foods are best displayed in clear PET containers and deli pots. Clear PET provides crystal-clear visibility for display chillers while maintaining an airtight seal.
Do you sell takeaway containers with lids?
Yes. Many ranges are supplied as complete combo packs with matching lids, while others offer separate base and lid options so you can choose between clear PET or heat-resistant PP lids.
Do you stock compostable takeaway food containers?
Yes. We supply 100% commercially compostable bagasse sugarcane containers, biodegradable pulp bowls, and unlined kraft cardboard meal packaging.
What is the difference between PP lids and PET lids?
Polypropylene (PP) lids are heat-resistant up to 100°C–120°C and microwave-safe, making them ideal for hot curries and soups. PET lids offer crystal-clear clarity but soften under high heat, making them best suited for cold foods up to 60°C.
How fast is delivery?
We provide free next working day delivery on orders over £100 (ex. VAT) placed before 15:00 Monday to Thursday. Saturday delivery is also available upon request.
Do you supply wholesale takeaway packaging in bulk?
