Colpac

These are large kraft paperboard burger boxes from Colpac, supplied in packs of 250. The hinged-lid design is intended for takeaway and eat-in service of hot or cold food — burgers, wraps, fried chicken, or cold items such as salads and grain bowls. The material is compostable at a commercial composting facility, which makes these suitable for operators working towards a reduction in general waste or those required to meet local authority waste targets.

In a busy takeaway or fast-casual environment, the key practical advantages are straightforward:

• Flat-pack storage keeps back-of-house footprint modest for a 250-unit pack
• Kraft paperboard construction holds reasonable heat retention during short transit
• Hinged lid stays secure without additional packaging steps, supporting faster service
• Fully compostable where a commercial composting collection is in place
• Printed kraft appearance suits operators who want a natural, unbranded look

It is worth noting that compostability depends entirely on access to a commercial composting service — these boxes cannot go into standard kerbside food waste collections in most areas, and they are not suitable for home composting. Operators should confirm their waste contractor accepts compostable packaging before committing to volume.

These boxes are well suited to burger bars, street food traders, festival caterers, pub kitchens offering a takeaway option, and school or workplace catering where a sustainability policy is in place. For very high-volume sites packing continuously through a long service, it may be worth considering whether a different format or a larger pack size would reduce mid-service restocking.

If you are unsure whether this box suits your portion size or service format, the team is happy to talk it through.

These Colpac kraft food boxes are a paper-based packaging solution designed for commercial food service operations where portion sizes are generous and microwave reheating is part of the service model. Made from kraft paper, they are suited to pasta, noodles, rice dishes, curries, and salads — the kind of main-course portions commonly served in canteens, grab-and-go counters, and delivery kitchens.

The 1.95-litre capacity accommodates a substantial portion without the box feeling oversized, and the kraft construction holds its shape reasonably well with hot or sauced food. That said, like all paper-based containers, they perform best when food is served promptly — extended holding times with very wet or heavily sauced dishes will test the material.

• Microwaveable construction allows reheating without decanting into another vessel
• Recyclable kraft material supports single-use plastic reduction commitments
• 1.95-litre capacity suits standard main-course portion sizes
• Paper-based format avoids many of the regulatory and reputational concerns around plastic packaging
• Pack of 200 suits moderate to high-volume service periods

These boxes are well suited to operators working towards sustainability targets — contract caterers, universities, corporate dining, and delivery operations are typical users. It is worth confirming with your local authority that food-contact kraft paper is accepted in their recycling stream, as acceptance does vary by area.

If you are ordering for a high-volume site, it is worth matching the box capacity against your standard portion weights before committing to a pallet quantity. Colpac produce kraft boxes at a range of sizes, so a different capacity may better suit your menu.

If you would like help working out which size and pack quantity suits your operation, the team is happy to talk it through.

These kraft paper lids are produced by Colpac specifically to fit their 450ml soup cup range. Made from recyclable paper, they are microwave-safe, which makes them a practical choice for operations where soup or other hot foods may need reheating after filling — whether that is at a deli counter, a hospital café, a staff canteen, or a grab-and-go outlet.

In a food-to-go environment, lids need to hold up reliably throughout a full service: stacking without jamming, sitting securely on the cup during transit, and tolerating brief microwave use without distorting. The kraft paper construction performs consistently under normal handling conditions, and the recyclable material supports operators who are working to reduce single-use plastic or meet sustainability targets set by their clients or premises.

• Microwave-safe — no need to transfer contents to a separate container before reheating
• Recyclable paper construction supports plastic reduction and sustainability commitments
• Pack of 500 suits moderate to high-volume soup and hot food service
• Designed to pair correctly with Colpac's matching 450ml kraft soup cups
• Kraft finish suits independent cafés, artisan delis, and natural-look food-to-go concepts

One practical point worth confirming before ordering: these lids are sized for Colpac's own 450ml soup cup range. If you are currently using cups from a different supplier, or a different Colpac cup size, it is sensible to check compatibility before committing to a full pack. These are not intended for sealed or pressurised packaging applications.

They are well suited to cafés, delis, contract caterers, and food-to-go operators running a regular soup service who need a recyclable, microwave-compatible lid. Operations running at very high daily volumes may find it worth exploring whether a larger pack format offers better economies.

If you are unsure about compatibility with your current cups or want to work out the right pack quantity for your service, the team is happy to help.

Colpac's contact grill bags are a practical solution for operations that toast sandwiches, paninis, flatbreads, and similar items on a contact grill or panini press. The bag sits around the filled product before it goes onto the grill, containing the ingredients during cooking and acting as a serving wrapper once the food comes off. This removes the need for a separate piece of wrapping at the point of service.

The bags are grease-resistant, which means they hold up well when toasting filled items with oily ingredients or melting cheese — common points of failure with lighter-weight alternatives. Because the food is cooked inside the bag, there is no direct contact between the filling and the grill plates, which also reduces plate cleaning time during a busy service.

• Keeps ingredients contained on the grill, reducing mess and spillage
• Grease-resistant construction stays intact through the cooking process
• Doubles as a serving wrapper, cutting down on extra packaging steps
• Suitable for sandwiches, paninis, flatbreads, and similar grilled items
• Pack of 600 supports continuous service without frequent restocking

There are no installation requirements — these are a consumable smallware. The main practical consideration is storage volume; a pack of 600 bags is well suited to a busy café, sandwich bar, or food van where grill throughput is steady throughout the day. Lower-volume sites may find a smaller pack quantity more practical to manage stock rotation.

These bags are a good fit for cafés, sandwich shops, food vans, and similar food-to-go operations running a contact grill as part of their regular service. If you are unsure whether the 320mm size is right for the products you are serving, feel free to get in touch — it is a straightforward question worth answering before you commit to a case quantity.

These small kraft chip cartons from Colpac are a straightforward, compostable option for serving chips, wedges, onion rings and similar snack portions. Made from recycled paperboard, they are accepted at commercial composting facilities, making them a practical choice for operators looking to move away from non-recyclable disposables without compromising on presentation.

In a busy service environment, packaging needs to be quick to assemble and consistent in use. These cartons are supplied flat-packed, which keeps storage requirements manageable, and they fold together quickly enough to keep pace during peak service periods without slowing down the pass.

• Compostable at commercial composting facilities, supporting waste diversion
• Flat-packed for compact, space-efficient storage in busy kitchens
• Natural kraft finish presents well for food-to-go and street food formats
• Suitable for chips, wedges, onion rings and similar snack portions
• Supplied in a pack of 1000, practical for moderate to high-volume service

For operators with sustainability commitments or council contracts requiring compostable packaging, these cartons meet that requirement without the premium presentation cost of some branded alternatives. They are well suited to takeaways, food-to-go counters, festival catering, and pub kitchens serving bar snacks. If your operation runs very high volumes across multiple service points, it is worth considering whether a larger pack size would reduce handling and storage frequency.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for your portion sizes, or you want to discuss compostable packaging across your whole operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These kraft paper tortilla sleeves from Colpac are a straightforward, compostable option for serving wraps, filled tortillas, and similar hand-held items in a food-to-go or counter-service environment. Made from paper, they offer a practical alternative to plastic-based packaging for operators who want to reduce their environmental footprint without complicating front-of-house service.

In service, the sleeves hold wraps securely, keeping the filling together during handover and helping customers eat on the move with less mess. They are quick to load and hand out during a busy lunch run — no assembly, no fiddly components — which matters when throughput is the priority.

• Compostable construction supports waste reduction and sustainability commitments
• Natural kraft finish suits most food-to-go and street food concepts
• Paper material helps keep hands cleaner and retains a little heat during service
• Pack of 1000 suits regular restocking cycles at medium to high-volume sites
• Standard dry storage is all that is needed — no specialist conditions required

It is worth being realistic about one limitation: as a paper product, these sleeves are not well suited to heavily sauced or very wet fillings, which can soften the material quickly. They perform best with moderately filled wraps where the sleeve needs to hold its shape through the handover and the first few minutes of eating.

These are well suited to cafés, food trucks, school canteens, and quick-service restaurants running a wrap or burrito offer. For sites going through considerably more than 1000 units per week, it is worth asking us whether a larger case format is available to reduce the frequency of restocking.

If you are working out whether these fit your service style or have questions about filling types and compatibility, we are happy to talk it through.

These are single-use kraft-style bags designed to hold sandwiches, paninis, flatbreads and similar items during contact grilling. The bag sits around the food and goes directly onto the grill plates, allowing the heat to toast through while keeping the contents contained and preventing ingredients from spilling onto the grill surface.

In a food-to-go or café setting, they allow staff to grill and hand over the product in the same bag, which keeps service tidy and reduces the number of separate packaging steps. The grease-resistant material holds up well during cooking, so the bag remains intact and presentable when it reaches the customer.

• Suitable for paninis, toasted sandwiches, flatbreads and similar products
• Grease-resistant construction stays intact through the grilling process
• Cook-and-serve format reduces handling and speeds up service
• Removes the need for additional serving packaging in most cases
• Pack of 500 suits regular daily throughput without frequent reordering

There is nothing complex to consider here in terms of installation or equipment requirements — these bags are compatible with standard contact grills commonly used in cafés, sandwich bars and food vans. The 195mm width suits most standard sandwich and panini sizes; if your operation regularly grills larger flatbreads or oversized products, it is worth checking the fit before committing to a full pack run.

These are a practical everyday consumable for cafés, sandwich shops, mobile catering units and any food-to-go operation with a contact grill in regular use. If you are unsure which size suits your product range, or want to discuss quantities for a higher-volume site, the team is happy to help.

The Colpac Stagione range are paperboard food boxes lined with polypropylene, designed for hot and cold food-to-go service. At one litre, the capacity sits comfortably in the mid-range for portion sizes — practical for pasta, rice, curries, salads, and similar grab-and-go meals. The polypropylene lining provides leak resistance and allows the same container to move from freezer to microwave without needing to decant the contents first.

In a working food-to-go or takeaway environment, that flexibility has real operational value. Kitchens can batch-prepare portions, chill or freeze them, and reheat to order in the same box — reducing handling steps and the number of different container formats needed. The lining performs reasonably well against sauced and moist dishes, though prolonged contact with very oily or high-liquid food is worth considering when deciding whether this format suits a particular menu item.

• Microwave and freezer safe — supports batch prep and reheat-to-order workflows
• Polypropylene lining provides leak resistance for sauced dishes
• FSC-certified paperboard — recyclable after use
• Pack of 300 reduces reorder frequency for medium to high volume sites
• Consistent box format simplifies labelling and chilled display stacking

The recyclable format is a practical consideration for operators managing waste and responding to customer expectations around packaging. These boxes cover everyday food-to-go needs well at this portion size, though operators with very high-moisture menus or specific compostable packaging requirements may want to review alternatives before committing to volume.

If you're working out whether the 1Ltr size is the right fit for your portion weights, or you're looking at packaging across several formats, the team is happy to talk it through.

These Colpac kraft tuck-top salad boxes are a practical, recyclable packaging option for operators serving freshly prepared salads, grain bowls, and similar chilled dishes. Each box holds 1000ml and features a tuck-top closure with an anti-mist polyethylene window, allowing customers to see the contents clearly even when the boxes are held in a chilled display or counter.

The anti-mist window is worth noting for anyone running a chilled grab-and-go offer. Standard clear windows can cloud over in refrigerated conditions, which undermines presentation and can discourage purchase. The polyethylene window on these boxes is designed to resist that fogging, keeping the contents visible during the typical display period on a chilled counter.

From an operational standpoint, these boxes suit a straightforward workflow:

• Tuck-top closure requires no heat sealing or additional equipment
• Kraft board construction is stable enough to stack safely in a chilled display
• Anti-mist window maintains clarity during refrigerated display
• Both the paperboard base and polyethylene window are recyclable after use
• Natural kraft finish presents well alongside fresh, natural-looking food

On the sustainability side, the recyclable construction offers a more responsible alternative to conventional single-use plastic containers. This is increasingly relevant for operators who need to demonstrate environmental responsibility to customers or comply with internal sustainability commitments. It is worth confirming local recycling infrastructure accepts this combination of paper and polyethylene before making claims to customers.

These boxes are well suited to cafés, delis, staff restaurants, food-to-go counters, and catering operations with a regular salad or cold dish offer. The 1000ml capacity is a practical size for a main-course salad portion. For operations with higher throughput or a need for different portion sizes, alternative capacities are available within the Colpac range.

If you are unsure which size or style of packaging best fits your counter setup or service volume, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

These small kraft gable boxes from Colpac are a practical, recyclable packaging option for operators serving hot or cold food to go. Made from paperboard with a traditional gable-top format, each box closes securely and carries an integrated handle, making them straightforward for customers to carry without needing a separate bag.

In a busy service environment, packaging needs to be quick to assemble, reliable under load, and able to handle warm food without compromising. These boxes are suited to that kind of throughput — the paperboard construction handles hot food comfortably, making them a workable choice for baked goods, pastries, sandwiches, deli portions, and similar takeaway items. The handle design reduces the risk of spills during handover, which matters when counter staff are working quickly.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical points are:

• Recyclable kraft paperboard construction — a credible, verifiable sustainability claim for customer-facing use
• Gable-top closure with built-in carry handle keeps contents secure without additional packaging
• Suitable for hot food service without structural failure
• Supplied in a pack of 125, appropriate for moderate weekly volume
• No assembly tools or specialist equipment required

These are a reasonable fit for cafés, bakeries, delis, farm shops, and street food operations where a presentable, recyclable carry box is needed at sensible cost. For higher-volume sites turning through significant quantities daily, it is worth considering larger pack sizes to reduce per-unit cost and storage handling frequency.

If you are unsure which box size or format suits your portion sizes and menu, the team is happy to help you work through the options before you commit to stock.

These small kraft cake boxes from Colpac are a single-portion packaging solution designed for cafés, bakeries, and hospitality operations that need to present individual slices of cake, pastries, or similar baked goods in a tidy, customer-facing format. The clear window panel lets customers see the product without the box being opened, which supports point-of-sale presentation and reduces unnecessary handling.

The boxes are made from paper and produced to a compostable standard, making them a practical option for operators looking to reduce their single-use packaging footprint. The kraft finish has a clean, unfussy appearance that sits comfortably in artisan bakery and café settings without requiring any additional branding to look presentable.

From a stock management perspective, the flat-pack format stores efficiently in limited back-of-house or front-of-house space, and a case of 500 provides a workable quantity for regular daily service without demanding a large storage commitment.

• Compostable construction supports responsible waste disposal
• Window panel provides product visibility at point of sale
• Flat-pack format stores efficiently in limited back-of-house space
• Kraft finish suits café and artisan bakery presentation styles
• Pack of 500 balances stock availability with storage practicality

These boxes are sized for individual portions — a single cake slice or small pastry — rather than larger cuts or whole cakes. Operators portioning larger traybake slices or bulkier baked goods would be better served by a larger format box from the same range.

If you are working out which size best matches your portion or want to confirm suitability before ordering a full case, the team is glad to help.

These Colpac kraft paper sandwich bags are a straightforward, practical packaging option for cafés, delis, sandwich counters, and bakeries presenting filled rolls, sandwiches, and pastries to customers. Each bag features a large front window that allows the contents to be seen clearly without opening the bag, which helps staff serve quickly and lets customers see exactly what they are choosing. The natural kraft finish gives a clean, unfussy appearance that suits a wide range of food-to-go operations.

In a busy service environment, consistent and reliable packaging matters. These bags hold their shape well enough for counter display and grab-and-go use, and the window avoids the need for labelling every item just to identify the contents. They are supplied in packs of 250, which suits moderate-volume operations running daily sandwich preparation.

From a sustainability standpoint, the bags are made from paper and can be recycled once the window panel has been removed. That separation step is worth factoring into your waste management process, particularly if you are communicating recyclability to customers.

• Clear window for product visibility without handling
• Kraft finish suitable for counter display and takeaway service
• Recyclable after window removal, supporting waste diversion
• Pack of 250 suits regular daily service volumes
• Sized to accommodate standard filled sandwiches and pastries

These bags are well suited to smaller cafés, sandwich bars, and farm shops. Higher-volume operations or those requiring sealed or greaseproof packaging may want to explore alternative formats. If you are unsure which bag style or quantity suits your throughput, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.

These small open kraft trays from Colpac are a practical disposable serving option for operators running street food stalls, café counters, or event catering. Made from paperboard with a natural kraft finish, they are well suited to both hot and cold food — freshly baked goods, light snacks, small salads, or finger food portions work particularly well at this size.

The paperboard construction is sturdy enough to hold food securely without buckling during service, and the open tray format makes them easy to fill and hand over quickly at busy counters. The natural kraft appearance suits the kind of informal, honest presentation that works well in street food and casual dining settings.

From a waste management perspective, these trays are fully compostable at a commercial composting facility, with breakdown typically achieved in under 16 weeks. For operators looking to reduce landfill contributions and manage waste disposal costs, this is a meaningful consideration — provided your local authority or waste contractor offers commercial composting collection.

• Suitable for hot and cold food service without deformation
• Natural kraft finish suits casual and street food presentation
• Compostable at commercial facilities in under 16 weeks
• Open tray format supports fast, high-volume counter service
• Supplied in packs of 500, practical for regular service volumes

These trays are best suited to lighter portions and snack-sized servings given the small format. Operators needing larger capacity or deeper trays for more substantial dishes should consider alternatives from the wider Colpac range.

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

These Colpac kraft paper soup cups are a practical choice for operations serving hot soups, stews, broths, or hot drinks in a takeaway or food-to-go format. Made from paper with a kraft finish, they are suitable for microwave use, which allows staff to heat portions directly in the cup where workflows require it — useful in grab-and-go counters, deli-style service, or hospitality settings where speed matters.

The 450ml capacity is a reliable working size for a standard soup portion, sitting comfortably between a taster and a large serving. The paper construction keeps the cup manageable to handle even when filled with hot liquid, though operators should note these are single-use items and not designed for extended heat retention without a lid.

• Microwavable for direct reheating in service
• Recyclable kraft paper construction supports waste reduction targets
• 450ml capacity suits standard soup and stew portions
• Pack of 500 provides good stock depth for busy periods
• Consistent sizing simplifies lid compatibility and portion control

From a practical standpoint, these cups work well in operations with a defined soup menu — cafés, contract catering, staff restaurants, delis, and events catering among them. A pack of 500 gives reasonable volume without the storage burden of a full pallet, making them sensible for mid-sized operations. For very high-volume sites running multiple soup lines daily, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format would reduce reordering frequency.

If you are unsure whether this size and format suits your service style, or you need guidance on compatible lids and accessories, the team is happy to help you work it through.

Colpac's Jungle Lion meal boxes are a well-established disposable food box aimed at children's dining occasions. The range features six animal-themed designs and is intended to hold a small meal, snacks, or light party food in a format that appeals to younger guests. They are supplied in packs of 250, making them practical for operators who run a children's menu regularly rather than occasionally.

In a catering context, these boxes are commonly used by family restaurants, soft play venues, pubs with family dining, and takeaways that offer a children's option. The themed designs do a straightforward job: they make the meal feel considered for the child rather than an afterthought, which tends to reflect well on the overall customer experience without any additional effort from front-of-house staff.

• Six rotating animal designs add variety across a service without requiring separate ordering
• Suitable for holding party food, snacks, light meals, and small gifts
• Disposable format reduces washing-up and simplifies service in high-turnover environments
• 250-unit pack size suits regular volume without excessive storage demands
• Established Colpac range with consistent availability for repeat ordering

These are a simple, practical addition to a children's menu setup. There is not a great deal of complexity to consider — the main questions are whether the box size suits your portion format and whether 250 units aligns with your ordering cycle. If you run a larger operation or a seasonal venue with high family footfall, it is worth confirming the right pack quantity before committing.

If you have questions about portion compatibility or want to discuss your disposables requirements more broadly, the team is happy to help.

Contact grill bags are a practical solution for cafés, sandwich bars, food vans and similar operations that toast or grill filled products directly on a contact grill or panini press. The bag sits around the sandwich, panini, flatbreads or pizza slice during cooking, acting as a barrier between the filling and the grill plates. This keeps the grill cleaner between uses and allows the finished product to be handed directly to the customer in the same bag, cutting out a separate serving wrapper.

In a busy café or food-to-go environment, speed and cleanliness at the grill station matter. These bags allow operators to load, grill and serve in one step, which helps maintain throughput during peak service without extra handling. The grease-resistant construction prevents the bag from breaking down or becoming saturated during cooking, so the product stays intact from grill to customer.

• Reduces grill cleaning frequency during service
• Combines cooking and serving in a single disposable
• Grease-resistant paper holds up through the toasting process
• Commercially compostable — supports responsible disposal
• Suits paninis, flatbreads, sandwiches and similar filled products

These bags are designed for contact grills and panini presses rather than conveyor ovens or conventional grills, so it is worth confirming compatibility with your equipment before committing to a high-volume order. The 260mm length suits standard sandwich and panini sizes, though operators working with longer products should measure carefully.

Well suited to cafés, sandwich counters, food vans and street food operations with moderate to high grill throughput. For sites with very different product dimensions or specialist requirements, it is worth having a conversation with us before ordering.

These Colpac two-compartment food containers are a practical paperboard packaging solution designed for operations that need to separate a main portion from a side dish within a single box. The larger compartment accommodates a main course while the smaller section holds sides, sauces, or accompaniments — keeping components separate during transit and service without the need for multiple containers.

They are commonly used in takeaway operations, food-to-go counters, canteens, and event catering where speed of packing and portion control both matter. Having the separation built into the container reduces the time staff spend assembling multiple pieces of packaging per order, which adds up quickly during a busy service.

• Separate compartments reduce the need for additional packaging per order
• Supports consistent portioning across high-volume service periods
• Recyclable paperboard construction aligns with waste reduction commitments
• Sold in a 200-pack, suited to regular restocking for ongoing operations

Because these are single-use disposables, storage space and reorder frequency are worth factoring in. For lower-volume operations or those with limited storage, a smaller case quantity may be more practical. If your service model requires containers for hot dishes, it is worth confirming suitability for the specific temperatures involved before committing to volume.

These containers are well suited to takeaway outlets, café-style operations, and contract caterers looking for a straightforward separated-portion solution. If you serve smaller portions or need a different compartment split, alternative sizes within the Colpac range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure which container format best fits your service style or portion sizes, our team is happy to help you work it out before you order.
