Colpac

These black paper sandwich bags from Colpac are designed for food-to-go operators who want a clean, consistent presentation without resorting to plain white packaging. Each bag features a clear front window that allows the contents to be seen at a glance, which is practical at a counter or in a chilled display where customers make quick decisions. The black colourway gives a more considered look than standard kraft alternatives, making them a reasonable choice for cafés, delis, sandwich bars, and grab-and-go counters where presentation matters.

The bags are made from paper with a laminated coating, which provides enough structure to hold a filled sandwich or small baked item without the bag losing its shape during handling. For front-of-house use — whether stacked behind a counter or loaded into a display — they hold up well under normal service conditions. They are not intended for hot or wet fillings that would compromise the paper construction over time.

• Clear window front allows contents to be seen without opening the bag
• Black paper construction with a more considered, neutral appearance
• Recyclable after use, supporting waste reduction at point of disposal
• Suitable for sandwiches, wraps, and small baked goods
• Supplied in packs of 250 for consistent stock management

On the practical side, these are a straightforward single-use disposable — there is no assembly required and they store flat until needed. The recyclable material means they can be disposed of through paper recycling streams rather than general waste, which is worth communicating to customers if your operation has sustainability commitments. They are not suitable for direct hot food contact or greasy fillings that could saturate the paper.

These bags are well suited to low- to mid-volume sandwich and bakery operations. Higher-volume sites or those needing grease-resistant properties may want to consider alternative packaging formats. If you are unsure whether these fit your specific service style or packaging requirements, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These Colpac burger boxes are a straightforward, single-use paperboard packaging solution designed for serving burgers and similar food-to-go items. Made from kraft paperboard, they are compostable in industrial composting facilities and carry a natural, unbleached appearance that sits well with operators who want their packaging to reflect an environmentally considered approach.

For busy takeaway counters, street food stalls, and café grab-and-go operations, these boxes offer a practical and consistent way to present burgers without the overhead of reusable or returnable packaging schemes. The kraft paperboard construction holds its shape adequately for standard burger service and provides reasonable short-term heat retention during handover to the customer.

Key practical points for operators:

• Compostable in industrial composting facilities — not suitable for home compost bins
• Paperboard construction is grease-resistant enough for standard burger service
• Natural kraft finish suits organic, artisan, or sustainability-led food concepts
• Supplied in packs of 250, suitable for moderate to high-volume service periods
• Lightweight at 16g per unit, keeping storage and handling simple

These boxes are sized for small burgers and sliders. Operators serving larger patties or stacked burgers should check the fit carefully before committing to volume stock — Colpac produces larger formats within the same range if a bigger box is needed. The industrial composting requirement is worth communicating clearly to customers and waste contractors, as these will not break down in standard general waste or home composting settings.

If you are specifying packaging across a menu and want to make sure the sizing works for your particular product, we are happy to talk it through.

These polypropylene lids are designed specifically for the Colpac Stagione poke bowl range, providing a secure, close-fitting cover that keeps contents stable during storage, transport, and service. They are microwave-safe, which makes them practical for operations where customers may reheat food after collection or delivery.

In a busy food-to-go or takeaway environment, a well-fitting lid reduces spillage, helps retain freshness, and presents food more cleanly at the point of handover. These lids are suited to that kind of high-throughput service where consistency and reliability across a large pack count matter as much as the lid itself.

• Secure fit reduces spillage during transport and delivery
• Microwave-safe for customer reheating convenience
• Recyclable polypropylene supports responsible waste disposal
• Designed specifically for the Colpac Stagione poke bowl
• Pack of 300 suits regular restocking for busy sites

There are no particular installation or storage considerations beyond keeping stock in a dry, clean environment away from heat sources, which applies to most disposable packaging. As a consumable, these lids should be matched to the correct bowl model to ensure the fit functions as intended — using them with other bowl formats is not recommended.

These lids are well suited to cafés, food halls, delivery kitchens, and any food-to-go operation already using the Colpac Stagione bowl. If you are building out a poke bowl or grain bowl menu and are considering the full packaging solution, the team is happy to help you work through quantities and bowl compatibility before you order.

The Colpac Zest sandwich wedge is a compostable paperboard carton designed to hold two triangular sandwich halves — including deep-filled varieties — while keeping them clearly visible through a cellulose window panel. The kraft finish gives a straightforward, natural appearance that sits comfortably alongside most counter and grab-and-go displays.

For food businesses working to reduce single-use plastic, this format offers a practical alternative to standard plastic or PET-windowed cartons. The cellulose window provides the same product visibility customers expect without the environmental drawbacks of conventional plastic film, and the paperboard construction means the whole unit can go into commercial composting streams where those facilities are available.

From an operational standpoint, these wedges suit pre-packed sandwich services well — café counters, deli displays, school and workplace catering, and retail food-to-go. The format is consistent and stackable, which keeps cold display units tidy during busy service periods and makes restocking straightforward. A pack of 500 is a sensible stock quantity for sites turning over a reasonable sandwich volume without the need for large-scale storage.

• Compostable construction supports waste reduction commitments
• Cellulose window maintains product visibility without plastic film
• Suitable for standard and deep-filled triangular sandwiches
• Consistent format aids tidy counter and chilled cabinet presentation
• 500-unit pack suits moderate to busy grab-and-go operations

One consideration worth noting: compostability relies on access to industrial composting facilities, so operators should confirm their waste contractor can process this material before committing. Home composting is generally not suitable for this type of packaging.

If you are unsure whether this format is the right fit for your service style or volume, the team is happy to talk it through.

These Colpac rectangular kraft food boxes are a practical, single-use packaging option for hot and cold takeaway dishes. At 985ml, they offer a useful capacity for generous portions of noodles, rice, pasta, salads, or similar dishes served with sauces and dressings. The rectangular format makes them straightforward to pack and stack, which helps keep service moving during busy periods.

Made from recyclable kraft board, the boxes are suitable for microwave use, which is a practical advantage when customers reheat their food at home or in the office. The tuck-construction closure holds securely without the need for additional packaging, reducing handling time at the point of service and limiting the risk of spillage in transit.

• Recyclable kraft board construction — suitable for operators with sustainability commitments
• Microwavable — customers can reheat directly in the box
• Secure tuck closure — no additional sealing required
• Rectangular format — efficient to store and straightforward to fill
• Suited to both hot and cold dishes including sauced and dressed items

As a disposable packaging item, these boxes are well suited to takeaway and delivery operations, street food traders, university or workplace catering, and any site where quick, clean service is a priority. The pack quantity of 250 is a reasonable volume for most mid-sized operations, though higher-volume sites may want to consider larger case quantities to reduce replenishment frequency.

If you are unsure whether this size or format suits your menu, the team is happy to talk through your requirements before you order.

These Colpac large kraft food trays are a practical disposable serving option for hot and cold food-to-go operations. Made from paperboard, they are designed as a compostable alternative to plastic or polystyrene trays, and are certified for composting at commercial composting facilities typically within 16 weeks.

In a busy service environment — market stalls, festival catering, café counters, canteen grab-and-go sections — the trays hold their form reasonably well under the weight of hot food. The paperboard construction provides enough rigidity for most street food and snack portions, though operators serving very wet or saucy dishes should be aware that prolonged contact with liquid will soften the tray over time, as is common with paperboard products of this type.

The practical advantages for day-to-day service include:

• Compostable construction supports waste reduction commitments at commercial composting sites
• Kraft finish presents a clean, unfussy appearance suitable for most food-to-go concepts
• Supplied in a pack of 250, suited to moderate to high-volume service without frequent restocking
• Lightweight and stackable, keeping counter or storage space tidy during service

These trays require no special storage conditions beyond keeping them dry and away from direct moisture prior to use. They are not suitable for use in ovens or microwave reheating. For operations with very high daily covers, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format would reduce restocking frequency.

These trays are well suited to cafés, street food traders, events caterers, and workplace canteens looking to move away from single-use plastic packaging without a significant cost increase. They are a straightforward choice for lower-moisture food items served immediately.

If you are unsure whether this size or format is the right fit for your service style, we are happy to talk it through.

The Colpac Stagione 750ml food box is a paperboard container designed for operations that need to pack, chill, and reheat food in the same vessel. Made from FSC-certified paperboard with a polypropylene lining, it moves from freezer to microwave without requiring the food to be decanted — a straightforward practical advantage where handling time and speed of service matter.

In busy service environments, these boxes work well for dishes prepared ahead of service. Kitchen teams can portion in bulk, refrigerate or freeze, then heat to order without any change of packaging. The polypropylene lining provides reliable leak resistance for sauced dishes, rice, pasta, and similar moist foods. As with all paperboard containers, they perform best when food is at the right temperature on packing and are not designed to hold standing liquid over extended periods.

Key practical points for operators:

• Microwave and freezer safe — prep, store, and reheat in one vessel
• Leak-resistant lining suits sauced, moist, and semi-wet dishes
• FSC-certified paperboard — recyclable after use
• Single-portion capacity well matched to main course servings
• Pack of 300 supports consistent throughput in volume operations

These boxes are well suited to cafés, workplace canteens, grab-and-go counters, dark kitchens, and operations handling chilled or frozen ready meals. The Stagione range is available in other capacities, so if your portion sizes run smaller or larger, there are alternatives worth considering before committing to stock.

If you are weighing up which size or format fits your menu and service model, the team is happy to talk it through.

These Colpac chip cones are made from pulpboard and printed in a classic newspaper style, giving fried food portions a familiar, traditional presentation without the need for branded packaging. They are designed for single-use serving of chips, onion rings, and similar fried snacks at food service counters, takeaways, market stalls, and casual dining operations.

The pulpboard material is biodegradable and recyclable, which means operators can serve food in a format that meets increasingly common sustainability commitments without moving to more expensive or less practical packaging alternatives. The newspaper print finish is well established in fish and chip and street food settings, where it reinforces a straightforward, no-frills identity.

From a practical standpoint, the cones offer a few everyday advantages worth noting:

• Supplied flat, so a pack of 1000 takes up considerably less storage space than pre-formed alternatives
• Biodegradable and recyclable pulpboard supports sustainability policies and reduces landfill contribution
• Consistent cone form holds portion shape during service without the need for trays or liners
• Newspaper print finish suits a wide range of casual and street food settings without appearing generic
• Single-use format removes any cleaning requirement between services

There are no installation requirements — these are a straightforward consumable. Storage is the main consideration: the flat-packed format makes stacking easy, but as with any paper product, they should be kept away from moisture and stored in a dry environment to prevent the material from softening before use.

These cones are well suited to takeaways, fish and chip shops, food festival traders, and pub kitchens that serve bar snacks. For operations with very high throughput or a need for larger portion sizes, it is worth checking whether a larger cone format would be more appropriate before committing to a full case quantity.

If you are unsure which cone size best fits your typical portion, or whether this format suits your service style, the team is happy to talk it through.

These lids are designed specifically for the Colpac Stagione food box range and are built to withstand microwave reheating. The paperboard is lined with polypropylene, which prevents the lid from warping or delaminating during warming. They are compatible with the small, medium, and large formats across the Stagione box range and are sold in packs of 300, making them practical to stock alongside the boxes themselves.

In a food-to-go or grab-and-go operation, the ability to reheat food in its original packaging removes a handling step. Customers can take a sealed box directly from a display or chilled unit and warm it without decanting. The vented design allows steam to escape during reheating, which helps maintain texture and reduces pressure build-up inside the box — particularly relevant for items where retained moisture would affect quality.

• Polypropylene-lined paperboard construction rated for microwave use
• Vented lid design allows controlled steam release during reheating
• Compatible with Stagione boxes across small, medium, and large formats
• FSC-certified paperboard supports responsible sourcing credentials
• Fully recyclable after use to assist with waste reduction commitments

These lids are well suited to cafés, delis, food-to-go counters, and workplace catering operations where customers are likely to reheat food away from the point of sale. The FSC certification and recyclability are worth noting if sustainability credentials form part of how you communicate with customers. As a consumable, the main practical consideration is confirming compatibility with the specific Stagione box sizes you are already using. If you are unsure which formats you have in stock, the team is happy to help confirm a match before you order.

These Colpac kraft baguette packs are a straightforward paper packaging solution designed for presenting filled baguettes and similar long rolls in a clean, professional way. The clasp clip closure keeps the contents secure without the need for additional wrapping or bags, making them a practical choice for counter service and self-selection displays.

In a busy café, deli, or grab-and-go environment, speed of service matters. The clasp clip format means staff can wrap and seal a baguette quickly without fumbling with cling film or separate bags, which helps keep queues moving during peak periods. The kraft paper construction allows the contents to breathe slightly, which suits freshly made baguettes better than fully sealed plastic packaging.

From an operational standpoint, these packs offer a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Recyclable kraft paper construction supports sustainable packaging commitments
• Clasp clip closure is quick to apply, reducing prep and service time
• Presented neatly in display chillers or on counters without additional packaging
• Supplied in a pack of 500, suitable for moderate to high daily volume
• Paper material is compatible with standard food contact requirements

These are paper packs, so they are not suitable for wet or very heavily sauced fillings where moisture saturation would be a concern. They are best suited to standard cold or ambient baguette service rather than hot-holding applications.

Well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, delis, and catering operations running a regular baguette offer. If your site has particularly high throughput and you need a larger case quantity or a different format, it is worth exploring the wider Colpac range before committing.

If you are unsure whether this format suits your service style or volume requirements, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These square kraft food boxes from Colpac are a practical disposable packaging solution for hot or cold food service. At 750ml capacity, they sit in a useful mid-range size — generous enough for a main portion of noodles, rice, or a composed salad with dressing, but compact enough to stack and store efficiently in a busy prep or service area. Both recyclable and microwavable, they cover a range of service scenarios without needing separate packaging lines.

In a takeaway or grab-and-go environment, consistency matters. These boxes hold their structure when filled with sauced or dressed dishes, and the square format stacks neatly in bags, reducing spillage risk during transit. The kraft construction handles reasonable heat from freshly prepared food without distorting, making them a reliable choice for hot food service.

• Recyclable construction — supports waste reduction across your operation
• Microwavable — suitable for reheating without decanting
• Square format stacks efficiently for storage and bagging
• Suited to sauced, dressed, or mixed portion dishes
• Consistent presentation across every portion served

As a single-use disposable, these boxes are not designed for heavy or very wet dishes held over extended periods. For high-liquid content foods or longer hold times, a lidded container with a tighter seal may be more appropriate. Storage space for a pack of 250 is worth considering if your back-of-house area is limited.

These boxes are well suited to cafés, takeaways, food trucks, and catering operations running a grab-and-go or delivered meal offer. They work particularly well for lunch service where portion control and presentation consistency are priorities. For very high-volume operations, it is worth considering whether a larger pack size would reduce handling frequency.

If you are unsure whether this size and format fits your service style, the team is happy to talk through what tends to work well in different catering environments.

These 700ml kraft salad pots from Colpac are a straightforward, practical solution for food-to-go operations that need reliable, recyclable packaging at a sensible price point. Made from paperboard with a paper and polyethylene construction, each pot is paired with a secure rPET lid, making them a common choice for delis, canteens, food markets, and grab-and-go counters.

In a busy service environment, consistency matters. These pots hold their shape under standard use, and the lids fasten securely enough to prevent spillage during transport or display — a practical consideration when customers are carrying food away from the counter. The reclosable lid also means customers can reseal partly eaten portions, which reduces waste complaints at point of sale.

Key practical advantages for food service operators include:

• Recyclable paperboard base and rPET lid support a more sustainable packaging approach
• Secure, reclosable lid reduces spill risk during transport and carry-out
• 700ml capacity suits single-portion salads, grain bowls, and similar dishes
• Supplied in a pack of 150, suitable for moderate to high-volume counters
• Kraft finish presents cleanly at a deli or food market counter

There are no installation considerations for this product, but it is worth confirming that 700ml suits your typical portion sizes before ordering in volume. For lighter snack portions or smaller sides, a smaller format may reduce unnecessary packaging material. For operations serving larger meal-sized salads or heavier grain-based dishes, a larger pot would be worth considering to avoid overfilling.

These pots are well suited to delis, workplace canteens, food markets, and any grab-and-go operation where recyclable packaging and a presentable finish matter. They are not designed for hot liquids or high-moisture dishes that may compromise the paperboard over time.

If you are unsure whether this format and size fits your service style, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Colpac Fuzione range is a line of recyclable food trays designed for operators who need reliable, presentable packaging for portioned meals, salads, rice dishes and similar ready-to-serve food. The tray is constructed from paperboard with an RPET lid, giving a clean, structured appearance that holds its shape well during handling and transit.

In a busy service environment, packaging needs to do more than look the part. The Fuzione tray uses a multi-layered closing mechanism that creates a secure seal between tray and lid, reducing the risk of spillage during storage or transport. This makes it a practical choice for operations that prepare food in advance, refrigerate portions, or run a takeaway or delivery service where packaging travels with the order.

• Secure lid closure helps prevent spills during portioning, chilling and transport
• Paperboard construction holds its shape under typical refrigerated storage conditions
• Both tray and lid are recyclable, supporting waste reduction commitments
• Suited to salads, grains, rice dishes and similar ready-portioned cold foods
• Supplied in cases of 250 units, practical for medium to high-volume prep operations

These trays are supplied flat-packed and require no special storage conditions beyond keeping them dry and away from direct moisture. They are not designed for hot-hold service or microwave use, so operators running heated grab-and-go counters should consider whether a different tray format would be more appropriate for those specific applications.

The Fuzione 1000ml tray is well suited to cafés, delis, contract caterers, meal prep operations and food-to-go outlets looking to move away from single-use plastic packaging without compromising on presentation or practicality. If you need a smaller or larger capacity, alternative sizes within the Fuzione range are worth exploring.

If you are working through a packaging switch and want to talk through which format fits your service best, we are glad to help.

These kraft paper lids are designed to fit Colpac's 8oz and 12oz soup cups, providing a secure covering for soups, stews, broths, and hot drinks in takeaway or counter service settings. Made from paper, they are both microwavable and recyclable, which makes them practical for operators who need to reheat portions in-cup before service.

In busy café, canteen, or catering environments, having a lid that fits reliably and withstands the microwave without warping or lifting matters more than it might seem. These lids allow you to heat soup directly in the cup, reducing the need for transferring between containers and keeping service moving during peak periods.

• Fits Colpac 8oz and 12oz soup cups for a consistent, secure seal
• Microwavable construction allows reheating directly in the cup
• Recyclable kraft paper material supports front-of-house sustainability commitments
• Suitable for soups, stews, broths, and hot drinks
• Supplied in a pack of 500, suited to regular-volume service operations

Because these lids are designed specifically for the corresponding Colpac soup cups, it is worth confirming you are using the matching cup range before ordering. Paper lids of this type are not interchangeable across all brands or cup profiles, and an ill-fitting lid will cause problems during service.

These are well suited to cafés, workplace canteens, event catering, and similar operations running a soup or hot food offering. For very high-volume sites dispensing hundreds of portions daily, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format would reduce how frequently you need to reorder.

If you are building out a disposables setup or want to make sure your cups and lids are correctly matched across your menu, feel free to get in touch — it is the sort of detail that is straightforward to get right with a quick conversation.

These Colpac kraft paper wrap scoops are a straightforward single-use serving solution designed for food-to-go and grab-and-go counters. Made from paper, they hold tortillas, wraps, and sushi rolls in a form that's easy for customers to carry and eat without additional packaging. Each pack contains 1,000 units, making them practical to stock in volume for busy service periods.

In a fast-paced counter service or deli environment, having a consistent, ready-to-use scoop format helps maintain throughput during peak trading hours. Staff can wrap and hand over orders quickly without handling food directly, which supports both hygiene standards and service speed. The kraft finish gives a clean, unfussy appearance that suits most street food, casual dining, and café counter settings.

From an operational standpoint, these scoops offer a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Paper construction means they are recyclable, supporting waste reduction commitments
• Pack of 1,000 reduces reorder frequency for moderate-to-high volume sites
• Suitable for wraps, tortillas, and sushi without additional holders or trays
• Lightweight paper material keeps consumable costs low per serve

There are no installation requirements — these are a consumable product that simply needs dry storage space. The pack weighs 800g in total, so bulk storage is straightforward even in kitchens with limited back-of-house space. They are not suitable for hot soups or liquid-heavy dishes, and operators serving very wet fillings may want to consider a lined or more robust alternative.

These scoops are well suited to cafés, food-to-go counters, market stalls, and casual dining operations with a wrap or sushi offering. Higher-volume sites running continuous service across multiple counters may want to compare case quantities or consider a custom-printed version for brand consistency.

If you're unsure whether these suit your specific service format or volume, we're happy to help you work it out before you order.

These Colpac kraft salad pots are a practical, recyclable packaging option for operations serving salads, noodles, rice dishes, and similar grab-and-go or delivered meals. Each pot is constructed from paperboard with a paper and polyethylene composition, and comes fitted with a reclosable recycled PET lid. The pack contains 150 units in the large 1300ml size — a capacity that suits generous main-course portions rather than side servings.

In busy service environments, the reclosable lid earns its keep. It seats securely enough to reduce spillage risk during transit and display, which matters when staff are moving food quickly between preparation and counter or delivery. The paperboard construction provides reasonable rigidity for a portion of this size, helping the pot hold its shape when carried or stacked in a bag. Recovery and throughput at the packing station are straightforward — the pots are designed to be filled and lidded efficiently without fuss.

• 1300ml capacity suits main-course salad, noodle and rice portions
• Reclosable recycled PET lid reduces spillage risk during transport
• Paperboard construction provides structure without excess weight
• Both pot and lid are recyclable after use
• Pack of 150 suits moderate to high-volume daily service runs

From a practical standpoint, these pots require no specialist storage beyond keeping them dry and away from damp. They are single-use, so there is no washing-up overhead — a relevant consideration for high-turnover sites. The recyclable credentials are genuine rather than cosmetic: the paperboard and PET materials are accepted by most UK recycling streams, which can support operator sustainability commitments and front-of-house messaging to customers.

These pots are well suited to delis, cafés, canteens, and takeaway operations serving portioned cold or ambient dishes. For very high-volume sites moving through significantly more than 150 covers per service, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format would reduce handling and reordering frequency. If you are unsure which size or format best matches your service style, we are happy to talk it through.

These Colpac food boxes are made from paperboard and printed with a newspaper-style design, giving them a traditional aesthetic that works well in fish and chip shops, street food operations, and casual takeaway settings. They are suitable for both hot and cold food, making them a practical choice for eat-in service, takeaway counters, and food-to-go operations alike.

The paperboard construction is compostable and biodegradable, offering a straightforward alternative to polystyrene or single-use plastic containers for operators looking to reduce their environmental footprint without overcomplicating their packaging choices. The newspaper print finish tends to sit well with customers at traditional chippies and informal dining concepts where a no-frills, slightly nostalgic presentation is part of the appeal.

• Suitable for hot and cold food service
• Compostable and biodegradable paperboard construction
• Classic newspaper print finish suited to traditional takeaway presentation
• Ready to use with no assembly required
• Supplied in packs of 150 for straightforward stock management

These boxes are a single-size option, so if your menu includes portions of significantly different sizes — from small sides to large sharing portions — it is worth checking whether the dimensions suit your full range before committing. For higher-volume sites or operations with varied portion sizes, alternative formats or case quantities may be more practical.

If you are unsure whether these suit your service style or volume, we are happy to talk it through.

Contact grill bags are a simple but practical solution for toasting sandwiches, paninis, flatbreads, and similar items on a contact grill without the filling spilling onto the plates or creating a cleaning problem. Colpac's 170mm bags are sized to accommodate a standard filled panini or flatbread and are designed to go directly onto the grill alongside the food, holding everything in place during the toasting process.

In a busy café or food van environment, speed and consistency matter. These bags allow staff to load, press, and serve without stopping to clean the grill between every order — the bag contains grease and residue that would otherwise transfer to the grill plates. The grease-resistant construction means the bag itself stays intact through the process and can double as a serve wrapper, reducing the need for additional packaging at the point of service.

• Keeps grill plates cleaner between orders, reducing downtime during service
• Grease-resistant material prevents sogginess and bag failure under heat
• Can be used as a serve wrapper, cutting down on extra packaging
• Suitable for paninis, toasted sandwiches, flatbreads, and pizza slices
• 600 per pack — practical bulk quantity for high-turnover outlets

These bags are well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, food vans, and any operation running a contact grill as part of a hot food offer. The 600-pack quantity makes them a sensible stock item for sites doing consistent volumes. If your throughput is lower, it's worth considering whether a smaller pack size would reduce storage requirements.

If you're unsure whether this size fits your grill setup or your typical product dimensions, we're happy to help you check before you order.

These Colpac open-ended food trays are a straightforward paperboard serving solution designed for handheld street food and grab-and-go items. The open-ended format allows longer products — hot dogs, baguettes, paninis, corn dogs — to be seated securely in the tray and passed to customers quickly, without the need for additional wrapping or bags.

In practice, these trays are well suited to fast-paced counter service where speed of handoff matters. Staff can load and serve in a single motion, which keeps queues moving during peak periods. The natural kraft finish gives a clean, unfussy presentation that sits comfortably alongside artisan or street food branding without requiring additional packaging.

• Open-ended design suits long or irregularly shaped food items
• Kraft board construction handles light moisture from sauces and condiments
• Natural finish suits street food, market stalls, and casual dining formats
• Compostable at industrial composting facilities in under 16 weeks
• Pack of 500 suits regular volume without frequent reordering

On the environmental side, these trays are made from recycled kraft paperboard and are certified compostable under industrial composting conditions. That means they can be separated from general waste and sent to an appropriate facility rather than to landfill — a consideration for operators working toward waste reduction commitments or subject to landfill tax. It is worth noting that home composting is not applicable here; industrial composting infrastructure is required for the compostability claim to hold.

These trays are a practical fit for street food traders, festival and event caterers, pub food counters, school canteens, and any operation serving handheld food at volume. If your menu items are shorter or more varied in shape, a closed-lid container or a different tray format may serve better — it is worth considering what you are serving before committing to a case quantity.

If you are unsure which packaging format suits your service style or volume, the team is happy to talk it through.

These Colpac sandwich wedges are a straightforward recyclable packaging option for food-to-go counters, grab-and-go displays, and deli-style operations. The body is made from kraft paperboard, recyclable through standard cardboard streams, and the clear window is formed from PLA — a plant-based material that is industrially compostable rather than conventional petroleum-based plastic film. That combination makes them a more considered choice for operators who want to reduce their packaging footprint without moving to opaque wrapping.

The front-loading format works well in high-throughput preparation environments. Staff can fill wedges quickly and without awkward handling, which matters when a counter is running at pace during a lunchtime rush. The natural kraft finish presents cleanly on chilled display shelving and sits comfortably alongside a wholesome or less-processed brand positioning.

• Recyclable kraft board diverts packaging waste from general landfill streams
• PLA window is industrially compostable, avoiding conventional plastic film
• Front-loading opening keeps sandwich filling fast during busy preparation periods
• Clear window lets customers see the product before purchase
• Pack of 500 suits regular volume use without excessive reordering frequency

These wedges are a practical fit for cafés, delis, staff restaurants, schools, and food-to-go counters where recyclable packaging credentials matter either to the operator or to the end customer. For sites running very high daily volumes, it is worth considering whether a larger case-quantity format would reduce storage handling and bring the cost per unit down.

If you are weighing up pack sizes or want to check whether this format suits your display setup and service volume, the team is happy to talk it through.

These Colpac large kraft chip cartons are a straightforward compostable option for serving fries, chips, or similar portions in a casual or takeaway setting. Made from paperboard sourced from recycled material, each carton is certified compostable, making them a practical choice for operators looking to reduce the environmental impact of their disposables without complicating front-of-house service.

The cartons are supplied flat-packed and fold open quickly with minimal handling, which keeps service moving during busy periods. A small tab at the rear holds the carton upright once assembled, and the raised back lip means customers can easily pick chips from the front — a small but useful detail in a self-service or counter-service environment.

Key operational points at a glance:

• Compostable construction supports waste stream separation and sustainability commitments
• Flat-pack format reduces storage footprint considerably
• Quick fold-out assembly suits high-throughput counter service
• Raised rear lip aids portion access without spillage
• Supplied in cases of 1000, suitable for consistent daily volume

As with all paperboard cartons, these are best suited to dry or lightly oiled portions. For very saucy or heavily sauced items, a grease-resistant or foil-lined carton may hold up better over time. If you serve a mix of portion sizes, Colpac produce this carton in other sizes, so it is worth confirming the right fit for your menu before ordering in bulk.

If you are unsure which carton size or format suits your service best, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These Colpac kraft food boxes are a straightforward compostable packaging option for operators serving takeaway meals, grab-and-go dishes, or anything requiring a lidded, portable container. Made from paperboard sourced from renewable materials, they are designed as a practical alternative to polystyrene or single-use plastic boxes where sustainability is a consideration.

In a busy service environment, the lidded design does a reasonable job of retaining heat during short transit or holding periods, which matters for customer satisfaction with hot dishes. The paperboard construction gives the boxes enough structural integrity to handle sauced or portioned meals without collapsing under typical service conditions.

• Compostable in industrial composting facilities within 16 weeks
• Lidded format helps retain heat during transit and short holds
• Paperboard material resists distortion under normal loaded conditions
• Pack of 150 suits moderate-volume takeaway or delivery operations
• A credible visible step for operators reducing single-use plastics

It is worth noting that industrial composting is required — these boxes will not break down effectively in home compost bins or general waste. Operators should confirm their waste contractor accepts this material before committing to volume purchases. The paperboard is not suitable for very wet or heavily sauced dishes over extended periods, so consider that against your menu.

These boxes are well suited to cafés, food-to-go counters, market traders, and takeaway kitchens handling moderate throughput. For higher-volume sites dispatching large numbers of covers per service, it is worth reviewing pack sizes and storage requirements before ordering in bulk.

If you are unsure whether this format suits your menu or service style, the team are happy to talk it through with you.

The Colpac Stagione 500ml food box is a paperboard food-to-go container built for operations that need one pack to handle the full journey from prep through to the customer's hands. Constructed from FSC-certified paperboard with a polypropylene lining, it is suitable for use in both microwaves and freezers. At 500ml it sits at a practical mid-size, well suited to single portions of pasta, rice dishes, salads, curries, and similar hot or cold food-to-go formats.

In a busy service environment, the ability to take a container from chilled storage through to reheating without decanting removes a handling step that adds time and risk during peak service. The PP lining provides reliable leak resistance, which matters when packaging sauced or dressed dishes that would otherwise compromise the base in transit or during display. The paperboard construction holds well under normal handling, though like all paperboard formats it performs best with prompt service rather than extended holding periods.

• Microwave and freezer safe — one container from prep through to service
• Leak-resistant PP lining handles sauced and dressed dishes reliably
• FSC-certified paperboard — recyclable after use
• 500ml capacity suits standard single-portion hot and cold food-to-go
• Pack of 300 provides practical bulk stock for busy services

These boxes require no special storage conditions beyond keeping stock dry and away from moisture. They are a straightforward consumable reorder for most food-to-go operations. Where portion sizes are larger or service volumes are higher, larger formats within the Stagione range are worth considering alongside this pack size.

Well suited to cafés, delis, workplace catering, ghost kitchens, and any operation running a food-to-go offer where recyclable, microwave-safe packaging is a practical requirement. Less appropriate where very long display times or high-moisture dishes require a more robust container format.

If you are reviewing your packaging specification across multiple formats or volumes, the team is glad to help you work out what suits your service best.

These large kraft gable boxes from Colpac are a straightforward, recyclable packaging solution for food-to-go operations. Made from paperboard, each box features a folded gable top with integrated carry handles, giving customers a secure way to transport their food without requiring a separate bag. They are commonly used for sandwiches, baked goods, pastries, and similar grab-and-go items.

The paperboard construction is rated suitable for hot food, which makes these boxes a practical choice for warm filled rolls, pastries fresh from the oven, or heated takeaway portions. The handles are robust enough for single-handed carrying, which helps keep service moving at a busy counter. Because the boxes arrive flat-packed, storage footprint is minimal — a consideration worth noting in kitchens and service areas where space is tight.

From an operational standpoint, these boxes offer a few clear advantages:

• Recyclable and made from renewable kraft paperboard, supporting waste reduction commitments
• Integrated carry handles — no need for separate carrier bags at point of service
• Suitable for hot food service, reducing the need for multiple packaging formats
• Flat-packed for compact storage between services
• Available in a pack of 125, suited to moderate-volume operations

It is worth considering pack volume against your typical service output. At 125 units per pack, these suit cafés, delis, and smaller food-to-go operations well. Higher-volume sites — festivals, busy transport hubs, or large event catering — may find it more practical to source in greater quantities, and it is worth checking whether bulk formats are available to avoid running short during peak periods.

If you are unsure whether this size and pack quantity is the right fit for your service format, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These Colpac kraft paper soup cups are a practical single-use vessel for serving soups, broths, stews and hot drinks across food-to-go, café and canteen environments. Made from paper with a kraft finish, they are both microwavable and recyclable — two considerations that come up regularly for operators managing hot food service and waste disposal obligations.

The 350ml capacity sits comfortably at a standard soup portion size, and the paper construction holds hot contents without becoming soft or difficult to handle. That matters at a busy service counter where customers may be carrying a cup without a tray or lid support.

• Microwavable construction allows reheating without transferring to a separate container
• Recyclable material supports waste reduction commitments and disposal compliance
• Kraft finish gives a clean, neutral appearance suitable for branded or unbranded service
• 500-unit pack keeps stock management straightforward for regular users
• Lightweight paper stock stores compactly in back-of-house with minimal footprint

There are no special installation or utility requirements — these cups are ready to use straight from the pack. Storage is straightforward provided the area is dry; paper packaging is susceptible to moisture over time, so avoid storing close to dishwasher or steam equipment.

This cup suits operations with moderate-to-high soup or hot food turnover — cafés, workplace canteens, hospital catering, events catering and food markets are all common use cases. For sites serving larger portions or very high volumes, a bigger capacity cup within the same range may be worth considering.

If you are working through portion sizes or pack quantities for a new service, the team is happy to talk it through.

These Colpac medium kraft food trays are open-top paperboard trays designed for single-use food service. Made from recycled kraft board, they are suited to both hot and cold foods and carry certification for commercial composting, breaking down in under 16 weeks when sent to an industrial composting facility.

In a busy service environment — market stalls, food festivals, canteen counters, or casual dining operations — these trays handle everyday use reliably. The sturdy recycled board holds its form under the weight of loaded dishes and does not soften rapidly when used with hot foods, making them a practical choice for operators serving items like chips, noodles, or grilled proteins alongside salads and cold sides.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are straightforward:

• Compostable at commercial composting sites, helping reduce landfill waste and associated costs
• Suitable for both hot and cold food service without needing separate tray types
• Natural kraft finish presents well for street food and casual dining concepts
• Supplied in a pack of 500, reducing reorder frequency during busy periods
• No coating or treatment required — straightforward disposal or composting pathway

It is worth noting that commercial composting requires access to an industrial composting facility. Home composting is unlikely to achieve the same breakdown rate, and the environmental benefit depends on having a suitable waste collection or disposal route in place. Operators without access to commercial composting may find the sustainability benefit limited.

These trays are well suited to street food vendors, event caterers, school canteens, and any operation looking for a presentable, practical disposable tray with a credible composting end-of-life. They are a medium-format tray; for larger portion sizes or tray-based meal deals, a larger format may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure which tray size suits your portion sizes or service style, the team is happy to help you work that out before you commit to a pack quantity.

These Colpac kraft paper soup cups are a practical disposable option for serving soups, stews, broths and hot drinks in a takeaway or eat-in setting. Made from paper with a kraft finish, they are both microwavable and recyclable, making them a workable choice for operators looking to reduce single-use plastic without compromising on service speed.

The 225ml capacity sits at the smaller end of soup serving sizes, which suits portions where a larger serving isn't needed — alongside a sandwich or as part of a light lunch offer, for example. The paper construction handles microwave reheating without issue, which is useful in front-of-house or grab-and-go settings where staff need to heat individual portions quickly.

• Microwavable — suitable for reheating soups and hot drinks directly in the cup
• Recyclable kraft paper construction — supports waste reduction commitments
• Pack of 500 — practical bulk quantity for regular service use
• Compact 225ml size — well suited to portion-controlled or side-serving formats

These cups are worth considering for cafés, delis, staff canteens, events catering and similar operations where a disposable hot food vessel is needed. For higher-volume soup bars or operations serving larger portion sizes, it's worth looking at larger-capacity options in the Colpac range. If you're unsure whether this size and pack format suits your service volumes, we're happy to help you work that out.

Colpac's kraft bagel scoops are a simple paper-based serving tool designed for front-of-house use at café counters, bakery displays, and grab-and-go stations. Each scoop is formed from kraft paper and certified compostable, making them a practical choice for operators working to move away from single-use plastic across their service operation.

For handling bagels, doughnuts, pies, pastries, and similar hand-held baked goods, they perform reliably during busy service periods — keeping staff hands away from product and supporting basic hygiene at the point of sale without slowing down counter staff. A pack of 1000 gives reasonable stock depth for moderate-volume sites, though high-footfall operations should factor in storage capacity and reorder frequency during peak trading.

• Compostable construction supports plastic reduction commitments at the counter
• Keeps staff hands away from product at the point of sale
• Lightweight and easy to dispense quickly during busy service
• Suited to bagels, doughnuts, pies, pastries, and similar baked goods
• Pack of 1000 provides practical stock depth for most counter formats

Being a paper product, these scoops are at their best with dry or lightly glazed items. They are not suited to wet, sauced, or heavily filled products where moisture would compromise the scoop quickly. Store in a dry environment to protect pack integrity before use.

These are well suited to independent cafés, artisan bakeries, deli counters, and similar grab-and-go formats — particularly where compostable packaging aligns with sustainability commitments or local authority waste disposal requirements. If your operation runs at very high volume, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format would better suit your restocking cadence.

If you are weighing up packaging formats or want to check these fit your waste disposal arrangements, we are happy to talk it through.

These Colpac sandwich packs are made from kraft paperboard with a PLA (polylactic acid) window panel derived from plant-based sources. The combination allows customers to see the sandwich filling at point of sale without the need for petroleum-based plastic components. Both elements — the paperboard and the PLA window — are certified compostable under industrial composting conditions, making them a practical option for operators working towards reduced-plastic or lower-waste packaging commitments.

In a food-to-go or café setting, the clear window does the straightforward job of showing the product without staff needing to open the pack or describe the filling. The kraft construction holds its shape reliably under typical counter display and chilled cabinet conditions. Like all paper-based formats, these packs are not suited to prolonged moisture exposure or condensation, so they are best used for cold-fill applications rather than hot-hold service.

• Clear PLA window allows customers to see fillings without opening the pack
• Both materials certified compostable in industrial composting facilities
• Consistent pack format suits sandwich line assembly and uniform display stacking
• Supplied in 500s, appropriate for moderate- to high-volume daily production
• Free from petroleum-based plastic components throughout

On a practical note, storage in a cool, dry environment is important to maintain the integrity of both the board and the PLA window before use. These are not heat-sealed units, so they are appropriate for sandwiches and cold wraps rather than anything requiring a sealed or grease-resistant pack.

They are well suited to independent cafés, sandwich bars, farm shops, and contract catering operations looking for a presentable pack with credible sustainability credentials. Operators with very high daily volumes may want to consider whether larger case quantities offer better value per unit.

If you are reviewing your food-to-go packaging range and want to talk through which formats fit your menu and service style, we are glad to help.

These Colpac medium two-compartment food containers are a practical solution for operators serving a main dish alongside a side in a single, self-contained box. The divider keeps foods separate during transit, which matters when sauces or moisture from one component would otherwise affect the presentation or texture of another.

In a busy takeaway or delivery operation, that separation removes the need to pack multiple containers per order, which cuts both packaging costs and assembly time during peak service. Portion control also becomes more straightforward — each compartment holds a consistent volume, which supports consistency across a high volume of orders.

• Two compartments keep mains and sides separate without additional packaging
• Consistent compartment sizing supports reliable portion control
• Reduces packaging count per order, saving time and materials
• Suitable for hot and cold food applications across a range of cuisines
• Supplied in a pack of 200, practical for moderate to busy service volumes

These containers suit cafés, takeaways, food-to-go operations, and event catering where a combined meal deal format is part of the offering. For very high-volume sites running continuous service, it is worth considering whether a larger pack size would reduce how frequently stock needs replenishing.

If you are unsure which container format or pack quantity best fits your service style, the team is happy to help you think it through.
