Delivery Information

Price Match

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.

Frequently asked questions

Are these boxes suitable for hot food straight from the fryer?

Yes, the paperboard construction is suitable for hot food, making them practical for fish and chips, fried chicken, and similar high-temperature takeaway items. They are also suitable for cold food, so the same box works across a varied menu.

How do these compare to polystyrene clamshell boxes for heat retention?

Paperboard boxes generally offer less insulation than polystyrene, so food will cool slightly faster. For eat-in service or short-distance takeaway this is rarely an issue, but operators running longer delivery routes may want to consider this when choosing their packaging format.

Are these boxes genuinely compostable, and how should they be disposed of?

The boxes are made from paperboard and are compostable and biodegradable. For commercial composting facilities this is straightforward, though home composting timescales will vary. If your operation has a food waste collection service, it is worth checking with your provider whether they accept compostable packaging alongside food waste.
