Crafti's Bizzi Kids Meal Bags are a practical, all-in-one takeaway solution aimed at hospitality operators who regularly serve younger guests. Each bag arrives flat-packed for straightforward storage and comes pre-filled with three round crayons. The outer surface of the bag doubles as a printed activity sheet, giving children something to engage with while they wait for their food or during the meal itself.
For busy restaurants, pubs, and takeaways, these bags help streamline children's meal service without adding complexity to the operation. Everything arrives ready to use — there's no assembly or separate crayon distribution required — which keeps service moving during peak periods. The activity sheet element is a practical touch that tends to reduce table restlessness, which operators in family dining environments generally find worthwhile.
- Pre-filled with three round crayons — no separate sourcing or handling needed
- Flat-packed for compact, efficient back-of-house storage
- Activity sheet printed directly onto the bag for in-seat entertainment
- Sized for a standard children's takeaway meal portion
- Supplied in a bulk pack of 200, suitable for consistent weekly use
These bags are well suited to family restaurants, pub kitchens, and takeaway operators running a children's menu. For higher-volume sites or those looking to brand their children's packaging more prominently, it's worth exploring whether alternative formats or larger pack sizes would be a better fit for your throughput.
If you're unsure whether these fit your service style or portion sizes, the team is happy to talk it through.
£11.80(£14.16 inc VAT)
These Fiesta poplar wood canapé cones are a straightforward, compostable serving vessel designed for buffet presentations, canapé passes, and event catering. Made from natural wood, they hold small portions securely and present food in a way that reads as considered and sustainable rather than disposable.
In a busy service environment, single-use cones like these are a practical choice where speed of turnover matters. Staff can pre-load cones during prep, and guests can pick and move without the need for crockery retrieval. The wooden construction is reasonably robust for handled use, though they are intended as single-use items and should be treated accordingly.
- Compostable poplar wood construction — no plastic components
- Natural finish suits rustic, artisan, and contemporary food presentation
- Lightweight and stackable, supporting efficient prep and pass service
- Eliminates the need for crockery on canapé and amuse-bouche courses
- Suitable for dry or lightly dressed cold food portions
These cones are suited to ambient or cold food service. They are not designed for hot or wet preparations, and operators should bear that in mind when planning a menu around them. They are compostable rather than recyclable, so disposal should align with a food-waste or compost stream if your waste contractor supports it.
Commonly used by event caterers, hotels, and restaurants running buffet or reception service, these are a reliable choice for sites looking to move away from single-use plastic presentation items. For higher-volume events or ongoing regular use, it is worth checking pack quantities that work with your typical covers and stock rotation.
If you are unsure whether these suit your service style or need advice on quantities for an upcoming event, we are happy to help.
£22.91(£27.49 inc VAT)
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.
£62.66(£75.19 inc VAT)
These hinged bagasse containers from Fiesta Compostable are a practical single-use food packaging solution made from sugarcane fibre, a natural byproduct of sugar production. The clamshell design keeps food contained and reasonably well insulated during transport or counter service, and the material is certified compostable rather than simply biodegradable — a distinction that matters when operators are working to meet local authority waste requirements or green pledges.
Bagasse performs reliably with hot and cold food alike. It handles the heat from freshly cooked dishes without softening or warping in the way that some lower-grade paper or card alternatives can, making it a reasonable choice for takeaway operations serving hot meals, lunchtime trade, or festival and event catering where food is dished up and handed over quickly.
From an operational standpoint, the hinged lid removes the need to match separate lids to bases at the point of service — a small but worthwhile time saving during a busy lunch rush. Key practical points include:
- Compostable material — suitable for commercial composting waste streams
- Hinged lid construction — no separate lid to source or manage
- Handles hot and cold food without structural compromise
- Sold in a pack of 200, reducing how often staff need to restock
- Made from bagasse — a renewable byproduct material
These containers are well suited to cafés, street food operators, event caterers, and workplace or school canteens working to reduce single-use plastic packaging. They are a mid-size format — operators serving larger portions or needing a deeper fill capacity may find a larger variant better suited to their menu.
If you are unsure which container size or format fits your service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£79.53(£95.44 inc VAT)
These flat lids are designed to fit Vegware's 90-Series hot food pots in both 170ml (6oz) and 230ml (8oz) sizes. Made from CPLA — a heat-tolerant bioplastic derived from cornstarch — they are suitable for use with hot contents such as soup, porridge, and pasta, where a standard cold-drink lid would distort or fail under temperature.
In a takeaway or grab-and-go setting, a reliable lid fit matters more than it might seem. A lid that seals poorly creates spillage risk in transit and reflects poorly on the outlet. These lids are produced to consistent tolerances for the 90-Series pot, so fit is predictable across a full service period without needing to trial and adjust.
- CPLA construction tolerates hot food contents without warping
- Flat profile keeps the stack compact for counter and pass storage
- Sized specifically for 90-Series 170ml and 230ml pots for reliable fit
- Compostable via commercial composting facilities where available
- Supplied in a pack of 1,000, suited to consistent daily volume
These lids are compostable through industrial composting routes, which is worth confirming with your local waste contractor before making a commitment. Home compostable they are not — CPLA requires the higher temperatures of a commercial composting facility to break down correctly. If your site is working towards a closed-loop waste system, it is worth ensuring the whole packaging format, pot and lid together, goes through the same waste stream.
Well suited to cafés, canteens, hospital catering, and any operation running a hot soup or porridge offer as part of a takeaway or grab-and-go format. If your volumes are lower or you need a domed cold lid for chilled desserts, there are alternative lid formats within the Vegware 90-Series range worth considering.
If you are building out a compostable packaging format across your menu and want to make sure the components work together, we are happy to talk it through.
£60.88(£73.06 inc VAT)
These Vegware Therma paper hot food bags are designed for takeaway and food-to-go service where compostable packaging is required. Made from paper, they are suitable for carrying hot food items and are certified compostable, making them a practical choice for operators looking to reduce their reliance on conventional plastic or non-recyclable packaging.
In busy service environments — street food stalls, café counters, school canteens, and casual dining takeaway operations — these bags handle the throughput demands of high-volume service well. The paper construction retains some heat during short transit times, which is useful when customers are collecting nearby or eating shortly after purchase.
Key practical advantages for operators include:
- Compostable construction supports waste reduction and sustainability commitments
- Paper material is grease-resistant enough for typical hot food-to-go use
- 500-unit pack reduces restocking frequency during busy periods
- Lightweight at 2g per bag, keeping storage and handling straightforward
- Compatible with industrial composting facilities where available
It is worth noting that compostable packaging requires access to appropriate composting infrastructure to realise its environmental benefit — home composting may not be sufficient for certified compostable materials of this type. Operators should confirm their waste collection arrangements before committing to compostable lines.
These bags are best suited to food-to-go outlets, market traders, catering operations with a sustainability policy, and any site where local authority or venue requirements favour compostable serviceware. They are not intended for wet or heavily sauced dishes where liquid retention over time would be a concern.
If you are setting up a full compostable packaging range or need guidance on volumes and bag sizing for your menu, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£47.13(£56.56 inc VAT)
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.
£145.00(£174.00 inc VAT)
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.
£61.75(£74.10 inc VAT)
These bagasse burger boxes from Fiesta Compostable are made from recycled sugarcane fibre — a byproduct of sugar production that would otherwise go to waste. Each box provides a sturdy, grease-resistant enclosure suitable for burgers, pies, and similar handheld items, and the side ridges help retain the box's shape during service and transit.
In a busy food service environment, packaging needs to hold up under speed. Bagasse performs well here — it handles warmth without distorting, and unlike some plastic-lined alternatives, it doesn't trap condensation against the food. That means your product reaches the customer in better condition, with less risk of a soggy base undermining the presentation.
- Fully compostable at commercial composting facilities, diverting waste from landfill
- Made from recycled sugarcane fibre — a renewable, low-waste material
- Side ridges maintain box integrity during handling and transit
- Resistant to grease and moisture without plastic lining
- Lower carbon footprint in production compared to polystyrene equivalents
From a practical standpoint, these boxes are certified for commercial composting — which means they qualify for food waste and packaging streams at appropriate facilities. If your operation is working towards waste reduction targets or looking to reduce landfill exposure, switching to a compostable format like this is a straightforward step. It's worth confirming with your waste contractor that they accept commercially compostable bagasse packaging before committing to volume.
These boxes are well suited to burger vans, festival catering, casual dining operations, dark kitchens, and any setting where single-use packaging forms part of the service model. The 500-pack format suits moderate to high-volume operations. If your throughput is lower, a smaller pack count may reduce storage demands and the risk of stock going unused.
If you're unsure whether this format fits your menu or waste disposal arrangements, our team is happy to talk it through.
£77.89(£93.47 inc VAT)
These are 1200ml takeaway boxes from Notpla, a manufacturer that replaces conventional petroleum-based coatings with a lining derived from seaweed. The result is a box that is fully compostable and free from the plastic films found in most standard takeaway packaging. They are supplied in white and come in packs of 250.
In a busy takeaway or food-to-go operation, the practical concern with compostable packaging is usually whether it holds up under real service conditions. Notpla's seaweed coating provides a leakproof barrier that handles hot, cold, wet, and dry contents without softening or leaking, which makes these boxes a workable choice for a range of dishes — from hot curries and rice to cold salads and grain bowls. The construction is robust enough to protect food during transport, which is a basic requirement for anything leaving the kitchen.
- Fully compostable — breaks down naturally without leaving residue
- Leakproof seaweed lining handles wet, saucy, and hot contents
- Suitable for hot and cold foods without compromising box integrity
- No petroleum-based coatings or plastic films
- Supplied in a pack of 250, practical for regular high-volume use
For operators who need to demonstrate environmental responsibility to customers or comply with single-use plastics commitments, these boxes offer a straightforward swap from conventional lined packaging without changing your service workflow. They are well suited to takeaway restaurants, food trucks, market traders, and catered events where compostable credentials matter.
If you are unsure whether these are the right fit for your service style or volume, the team is happy to talk it through.
£42.74(£51.29 inc VAT)
These Fiesta salad boxes are a practical paper-based packaging option for operators serving fresh salads to go. Each box holds 1200ml — a generous portion size suited to main-course salads — and is made from paper with a PLA lining that provides reliable resistance to moisture, dressings, and oils without the box softening or leaking during service.
The clear PET window across the lid allows customers to see the contents before purchasing, which works well for display counters, chilled grab-and-go units, and deli-style service. The presentation is clean and functional rather than decorative, which suits most café, canteen, and quick-service environments.
From an operational standpoint, the PLA and paper construction means these boxes fall into a more environmentally considered category than standard single-use plastic containers — useful for operators working towards reducing plastic waste in their packaging offer. Key practical points include:
- PLA lining resists dressings, oils, and vinaigrettes without compromising the base
- Clear PET window supports customer self-selection at display counters
- Paper and PLA construction as an alternative to plastic tubs
- Pack of 150 suits medium-volume operations and reduces reorder frequency
- Lightweight at 32g per unit, practical for high-turnover grab-and-go service
These boxes are not suitable for hot food service — the PLA lining and paper construction are designed for chilled or ambient salads only. They are not microwaveable and should not be used with soups or any liquid-heavy preparations that would exceed what a lightly lined paper box can contain. Storage in a cool, dry area will maintain the structural integrity of stock.
They are well suited to cafés, workplace canteens, sandwich bars, deli counters, and catering operations where pre-packed salads are a regular part of the offer. For operations needing a larger portion format or a different window configuration, other sizes are available within the range.
If you are working out the right packaging formats for your service setup, the team is happy to talk through what tends to work in practice.
£59.89(£71.87 inc VAT)
These Vegware domed lids are designed to fit the 115-series cold food pots in both 350ml and 455ml sizes. Made from PLA — a plant-based plastic alternative derived from renewable sources — they are fully compostable through an industrial composting facility. The domed profile provides clearance above the contents, making them well suited to cold food portions where a flat lid would compress or disturb the product.
In a commercial setting, these lids are commonly used alongside cold dessert pots, chilled yoghurt or ice cream portions, and similar grab-and-go cold food items. They form a secure fit with the corresponding pot, helping to keep contents stable during display or transit without the need for separate cling film or foil covers.
For operators looking to reduce single-use plastic across their disposables range, PLA alternatives such as these offer a practical step — provided the waste stream supports industrial composting collection. It is worth confirming with your waste contractor before committing to a full switch, as composting outcomes depend on correct segregation and access to appropriate facilities.
- Fully compostable through industrial composting facilities
- Suitable for cold food service — desserts, yoghurt, chilled portions
- Domed profile accommodates taller or loosely filled contents
- Reduces reliance on single-use petroleum-based plastics
- Supplied in quantities suited to regular service volume
If you are planning a broader move to compostable packaging across your operation, or want to check compatibility with other Vegware pot sizes in your current setup, the team is happy to help you work through what fits your service style.
£25.86(£31.03 inc VAT)
These 100ml paper portion pots from Fiesta are a straightforward, recyclable alternative to standard plastic condiment pots. Made from paper with a PE lining, they hold sauces, dressings, dips, and garnishes securely without leaking onto other food — a practical consideration for plated dishes, delivery packaging, and takeaway orders alike.
The PE lining is what makes these suitable for wet or oily contents. It keeps the pot intact during service and prevents seepage, which matters when pots are packed alongside other items or stacked in a delivery bag. The paper construction means they can be recycled through the same streams as paper hot cups, giving operators a cleaner disposal route than landfill-bound plastics.
From an operational standpoint, a pack of 1000 suits kitchens running consistent volumes of portioned sauces or sides — whether that's a busy café pre-portioning dressings for the lunch rush, a takeaway operation sending out dips with every order, or a pub kitchen plating sauces for table service. Key practical points worth noting:
- Recyclable paper construction reduces single-use plastic waste on-site
- PE lining prevents leakage from liquid or oil-based contents
- Compatible with paper and PET lids, available separately, for sealed presentation or delivery
- Pack of 1000 suits regular-volume operations without frequent reordering
- Suitable for cold sauces, dressings, dips, and garnishes
These pots are not designed for hot liquids or oven use — they're best suited to ambient or chilled contents. If your operation moves significantly higher volumes, it's worth considering whether a larger pack size would reduce handling frequency.
If you're unsure which lid format works best for your service style, or whether these suit your packaging setup, we're happy to help you work through the options.
£36.33(£43.60 inc VAT)
These Vegware clamshell meal boxes are made from bagasse — a by-product of sugarcane processing — and are designed as a compostable alternative to conventional plastic or polystyrene takeaway containers. The hinged lid keeps contents secure during transit, and the 228mm format suits a wide range of plated or portioned meals.
Bagasse is a naturally breathable material, which allows steam to escape rather than condensing inside the box. In practice, this helps fried and crispy foods hold their texture better during the period between packing and the customer opening the box — a common frustration with sealed plastic containers. The material also has reasonable heat retention for hot food service.
From an operational standpoint, these boxes offer a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Fully compostable within 12 weeks when sent to a commercial composting facility
- Made from recycled sugarcane fibre — a renewable, low-impact material
- Hinged one-piece construction reduces assembly time at the pass
- Supplied in packs of 200, suited to moderate to high-volume takeaway operations
- No plastic lining, which simplifies waste segregation for composting
It is worth being clear on the composting requirement: these boxes are certified for commercial composting, not home composting bins. Operators should confirm that their waste contractor accepts certified compostable packaging before committing to these as their standard box. Without access to a commercial composting stream, the environmental benefit is significantly reduced.
These boxes are well suited to cafés, street food operators, food-to-go counters, and hospitality venues with an active sustainability policy or customer-facing environmental commitment. For operations handling larger portions or needing a deeper box, other sizes within the Vegware bagasse range may be more appropriate.
If you are unsure whether this format suits your portion sizes or want guidance on composting waste streams in your area, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£7.30(£8.76 inc VAT)
These small wooden sushi boats are single-use serving vessels made from poplar wood, designed for presenting canapés, bite-sized buffet items, sushi, and similar small portions at events, functions, and casual dining services. At 80mm in length, they are well suited to individual portions and grazing table formats where presentation matters alongside practicality.
Poplar wood carries food cleanly and holds its shape reliably under light to moderate loads. The natural grain, knots, and tonal variation in the wood give each boat a consistent rustic character without looking cheap, which works well in settings where operators want to move away from white plastic disposables without moving to expensive reusable crockery. They are compostable and will biodegrade, making them a practical alternative where operators are working to reduce single-use plastic across their service.
- Compostable poplar wood construction — suitable for commercial composting waste streams
- Natural appearance suits street food, event catering, and casual dining formats
- Lightweight but structurally sound for cold and ambient food items
- No washing up — reduces turnaround time during high-volume buffet service
- Supplied in packs of 100, practical for event planning and stock management
These boats are best suited to cold or ambient food service. They are not designed for hot liquids, heavily sauced dishes, or anything that will sit in moisture for an extended period, as prolonged contact with liquid will soften the wood. Operators running large-scale events should factor pack quantities into their ordering to avoid running short during service.
If you are sourcing disposables for a specific event format or looking at a broader range of compostable servingware, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£15.85(£19.02 inc VAT)
These Fiesta 9" pizza boxes are made from recycled paper and renewable natural fibre, making them a fully compostable alternative to standard cardboard pizza packaging. They are produced under the Fiesta Green range and are suited to operators who need reliable single-use packaging that meets growing expectations around sustainable disposal.
The corrugated cardboard construction provides reasonable rigidity during transit, helping to protect the base and toppings from impact and reducing heat loss between the kitchen and the customer. The tab-lock closure keeps the lid secure without requiring tape, which supports faster packing during a busy service. The plain white finish means the boxes are ready to receive printed labels, stamps, or stickers if you want to carry your own branding through to the customer.
- Fully compostable — suited to operators with food waste or composting streams
- Corrugated construction reduces heat loss and protects during delivery
- Tab-lock design allows quick, tape-free closure at the pass
- Plain finish accepts labels, stamps, or branded stickers
- Supplied in a pack of 100, practical for stock management in smaller sites
At 9 inches, these boxes are sized for standard individual pizzas rather than larger sharing sizes. They are well suited to independent pizzerias, trattorias, pub kitchens offering a pizza menu, and takeaway operations that want a straightforward compostable option without moving to a custom-printed run. For higher-volume sites or those needing a range of sizes, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity or a broader size range would better suit your throughput.
If you are unsure which size or pack format works best for your service volumes, the team is happy to help you work it through.
£108.00(£129.60 inc VAT)
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.
£55.96(£67.15 inc VAT)
These 340ml hot food pots from Vegware are designed as a compostable alternative to standard plastic-lined disposable pots. Each pot combines a sustainably sourced paperboard outer with a plant-based PLA lining, making the whole unit suitable for industrial composting rather than landfill disposal.
In a busy food service environment, the practical difference from a conventional pot is minimal — they hold hot food securely, perform reliably during service, and handle the same range of hot dishes you'd expect: soups, stews, curries, pasta, rice-based dishes, and similar. The PLA lining provides sufficient heat resistance for standard hot food holding and service temperatures.
The main operational advantage is waste stream management. Where a site already has, or is working towards, an industrial composting collection arrangement, switching to these pots means hot food packaging is diverted away from general waste. That can simplify waste disposal, reduce landfill costs over time, and support sustainability commitments that many operators — particularly in contract catering, education, and healthcare — are increasingly required to demonstrate.
- Fully compostable at industrial composting facilities within 12 weeks
- PLA lining suitable for hot food service use
- Paperboard sourced from sustainably managed materials
- A practical alternative to plastic-lined single-use pots
- Pack of 500 suits regular service volumes without frequent reordering
It is worth confirming that your waste contractor accepts industrially compostable packaging before committing to volume orders, as collection infrastructure varies across UK regions. These pots are not suitable for home composting.
If you are reviewing your overall disposables range or have questions about compostable packaging for a particular service style, we are happy to help you think it through.
£112.00(£134.40 inc VAT)
These are Tork Xpressnap half-fold dispenser napkins made from FSC-certified recycled fibres, supplied as a case of eight packs, each containing 1,000 napkins. The two-ply construction and natural finish give a clean, unfussy appearance suited to casual dining, cafés, canteens, and similar front-of-house environments. They are designed exclusively for use with compatible Tork Xpressnap countertop or tabletop dispensers.
The half-fold format feeds consistently through Xpressnap dispensers, which helps reduce jams and keeps topping-up straightforward during a busy service. One-at-a-time dispensing also tends to reduce napkin consumption compared with loose stacking, which over the course of a week adds up on a mid-volume site. A case of 8,000 provides a reasonable stock buffer without demanding significant storage space.
- Two-ply recycled fibre construction suitable for front-of-house use
- Half-fold format feeds reliably through Xpressnap dispensers with minimal jams
- FSC-certified recycled content supports sustainability and waste reporting
- Compostable in a commercial composting facility, supporting waste segregation
- Bulk case quantity reduces reorder frequency on mid-volume sites
It is worth noting that these napkins are not suitable for loose placement or non-Tork dispensers — they require a compatible Xpressnap unit to dispense correctly. Operators without an existing Xpressnap dispenser will need to factor that in before ordering. The recycled fibre construction also makes these a practical choice for operators with active sustainability commitments or compostable waste streams already in place.
If you are unsure whether this pack size suits your weekly covers, or want to confirm dispenser compatibility with your current setup, the team is glad to help you work it out.
£123.00(£147.60 inc VAT)
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 Fiesta bagasse container bases are made from waste sugarcane fibre — a by-product of sugar production that would otherwise be discarded. The result is a rigid, practical food container base that holds 650ml and is accepted for commercial composting, making it a straightforward choice for operators looking to reduce landfill waste from their packaging.
The natural structure of bagasse allows moisture and steam to disperse rather than collect inside the container. In practice, this means hot food is less likely to turn soggy during transit or delivery — a common issue with conventional plastic or foam packaging. The material is also heat and water resistant, which means these bases can go from freezer storage through to microwave or oven reheating without needing to decant the food first.
For day-to-day service, the practical advantages include:
- Commercially compostable — supports waste diversion from landfill
- Breathable material reduces condensation build-up under hot food
- Suitable for microwave, oven, and freezer use
- Compatible with both compostable bagasse lids and recyclable PET lids
- Consistent rigid structure holds its shape during delivery
These bases are well suited to takeaway operations, food delivery services, and caterers producing high volumes of hot or cold dishes to go. The 650ml size works well for main meal portions. The pack quantity of 100 suits moderate-volume sites; operators running larger throughput may find it worth considering bulk pack options to reduce unit cost and storage trips.
If you are unsure which lid option pairs best with your current setup, or whether this size suits your portion requirements, the team is happy to talk it through.
£77.56(£93.07 inc VAT)
These Vegware portion pots are a 59ml / 2oz cold-use container made entirely from PLA — a plant-based material derived from renewable sources rather than oil-based plastics. They are designed for single-use service of dips, dressings, sauces, condiments, and small snacks, and are transparent throughout, allowing the contents to be seen clearly without removing the lid or decanting.
In a commercial setting, portion pots like these are a high-turnover consumable. The PLA material performs reliably for cold applications — it holds its shape and integrity at the temperatures typical of chilled service, though it is not suitable for hot contents or prolonged exposure to heat. For front-of-house operations, the clear finish presents well and helps customers identify their sauce or dressing without needing to ask.
The practical case for switching to these over standard plastic pots is primarily environmental, but it is also increasingly operational. Many local authorities and waste contractors now accept commercially compostable packaging, and Vegware provides supporting documentation to help operators verify compliance with their waste stream. Key points worth noting:
- Made from PLA — plant-based and fully compostable at commercial composting facilities
- Transparent construction gives clear product visibility at point of service
- Suitable for cold-use applications including dips, dressings, and condiments
- Compostable within 12 weeks when processed correctly at a certified facility
- Supplied in a pack of 2000, suited to regular high-volume service
One practical consideration: composting benefit is only realised if your waste contractor accepts commercially compostable packaging. It is worth confirming this with your waste provider before committing to a full switch. For operators without access to commercial composting, the environmental advantage over standard plastic is reduced, though the material remains renewable at source.
These pots are well suited to cafés, casual dining operations, street food and events catering, and takeaway outlets serving sauces or portion-controlled accompaniments. For very high-volume sites processing thousands of covers daily, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format or a different capacity would better suit your throughput and storage.
If you are reviewing your disposables range or looking to align your packaging with a wider sustainability policy, the team is happy to talk through what works in practice for your type of operation.
£21.59(£25.91 inc VAT)
These Fiesta compostable pizza boxes are a plain 12-inch corrugated cardboard box intended for pizza takeaway and delivery service. They are made from recycled paper and renewable natural fibre, and are fully compostable at end of use — making them a practical alternative to standard cardboard boxes for operators looking to reduce their environmental footprint.
The corrugated construction provides a reasonable degree of rigidity and helps slow heat loss during transit, which matters when orders are travelling any distance. The tight closing tab keeps the lid secure without requiring additional tape, which speeds up packaging during a busy service. The plain exterior leaves the full surface available for your own branded labels or printed stickers, giving smaller operators a cost-effective way to present a consistent brand without committing to printed stock.
- Corrugated cardboard construction reduces heat transfer during delivery
- Tight closing tab secures the lid without additional tape or fixings
- Fully compostable — suitable for commercial composting waste streams
- Made from recycled paper and renewable natural fibre
- Plain finish accepts custom labels or branded stickers
These boxes are well suited to independent pizzerias, takeaways, pub kitchens, and any operation dispatching 12-inch pizzas for collection or delivery. They are supplied in packs of 100, which suits moderate-volume sites; higher-volume operations running continuous delivery shifts may want to consider ordering in greater bulk to avoid running short during peak periods.
If you are unsure whether these suit your packaging setup or waste disposal arrangements, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.
£67.90(£81.48 inc VAT)
These burger boxes are made from bagasse — a natural fibre byproduct of sugarcane processing. Once the juice is extracted, the remaining pulp is pressed and formed into rigid food packaging. The result is a box that performs similarly to conventional polystyrene or plastic alternatives but is fully compostable at commercial composting facilities, diverting packaging waste away from landfill.
In a busy takeaway or food service environment, bagasse has a practical advantage worth noting: the fibrous structure allows steam to escape rather than trapping it, which helps keep fried and grilled items crisper for longer after boxing. This makes these boxes a reasonable choice for burgers, loaded fries, and similar dishes where moisture retention is a concern.
From an operational standpoint, the key benefits are:
- Compostable at certified commercial composting sites, supporting waste diversion targets
- Made from renewable sugarcane waste rather than virgin or fossil-fuel-derived materials
- Bottom ridges help lift food slightly, reducing direct contact with any accumulated moisture
- Rigid enough to stack and handle at speed during busy service periods
- Supplied in a pack of 500, reducing how frequently stock needs replenishing
These boxes are suited to operators who are working towards reducing single-use plastic or meeting local authority or client sustainability requirements. They are a practical fit for takeaways, street food traders, event caterers, and casual dining operations. Bagasse packaging does carry a higher unit cost than standard polystyrene boxes, so operators running very high volumes should factor that into procurement decisions. If you are unsure whether this product fits your service volumes or waste disposal arrangements, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£49.09(£58.91 inc VAT)
These large carrier bags from Vegware are made from recycled kraft paper and are fully compostable, making them a practical choice for food service operators looking to move away from single-use plastic packaging. Each bag features an internal handle construction that reinforces the base and sides, keeping the bag stable when loaded with boxed meals, containers, or multiple items.
In a takeaway or front-of-house setting, the performance of a carrier bag matters more than it might seem. A bag that tears under the weight of a loaded order creates problems at the point of handover — for the customer and for your team. The internal handle on these bags distributes load more evenly than a simple twist-handle design, which helps maintain integrity when carrying a full meal deal or a combination of hot and cold items.
From an operational standpoint, the practical benefits are straightforward:
- Compostable construction supports food waste composting streams where facilities exist
- Made from recycled paper, reducing reliance on virgin materials
- Internal handle reduces the risk of tearing during service handover
- Consistent sizing suits a wide range of standard takeaway containers and boxes
- Pack of 250 keeps stock management simple for regular ordering
There are no special storage requirements beyond keeping the bags dry and away from moisture, which would weaken the paper. Compostability is only realised through an appropriate commercial composting facility — standard general waste or mixed recycling collections will not process these correctly, so it is worth confirming your waste contractor's capabilities before making a commitment to compostable packaging across your operation.
These bags are well suited to cafés, delis, fast casual restaurants, and takeaway operations handling moderate to high customer volumes. For very high-volume sites dispatching heavy orders consistently, it is worth considering whether a larger or higher-specification bag would better meet throughput demands.
If you are reviewing your packaging across the board or want to talk through compostable options for your specific operation, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£84.44(£101.33 inc VAT)
These Fastpac rectangular food containers are a practical, workhorse packaging solution for takeaway and delivery operations. Made from polypropylene and supplied in packs of 150, they are sized to hold generous main-course portions and are suitable for a wide range of hot and cold foods.
The polypropylene construction means the containers are microwave-safe, which is useful where customers may be reheating meals at home or where staff need to warm food before packing. The material is resistant to leaking under normal service conditions, which matters when containers are being handled by delivery riders or collected by customers on the go. The partially mineral-based formulation — incorporating organically sourced minerals — reduces the reliance on virgin plastic, which is worth noting for operators looking to demonstrate environmental responsibility to their customers.
From an operational standpoint, these containers suit:
- Hot and cold portion packing for collection and delivery services
- Meal-prep and batch-cook operations requiring reliable portioning
- Catering and event operations where consistent presentation matters
- Sites turning over high container volumes where pack size reduces reordering frequency
It is worth confirming that lids are ordered separately if not already stocked — these containers require a compatible rectangular lid to seal correctly for delivery use. The 1350ml capacity is well suited to standard main-course portions; operations serving larger sharing portions or bulkier dishes may find a bigger format more appropriate.
If you are unsure which container size or format best fits your menu and service style, the team is happy to talk it through.
£28.08(£33.70 inc VAT)
These Vegware kraft paper sandwich bags are a straightforward compostable alternative to conventional plastic or non-recyclable packaging for food-to-go operations. Made from recycled kraft paper, they are accepted for commercial composting alongside food waste, and can also be recycled where they remain free from grease or oil contamination.
In a busy sandwich bar, café, or deli environment, packaging needs to be practical as well as presentable. The kraft paper material handles everyday use reliably — wrapping sandwiches, rolls, pastries, and similar items — and the natural appearance suits counter and grab-and-go presentation well. The bags won't hold up to heavily sauced or wet fillings without some grease transfer, so operators with particularly moist products may want to consider lined alternatives.
- Commercially compostable with food waste, diverting packaging from landfill
- Recyclable when clean and free from grease or oil
- Made from recycled kraft paper, reducing virgin material use
- Suitable for sandwiches, rolls, pastries, and similar dry-to-moderate fillings
- Natural kraft finish suits counter and food-to-go presentation
These bags are well suited to cafés, delis, sandwich counters, and any food-to-go operation looking to move away from conventional single-use packaging. They are sold in packs of 1,000, which works well for moderate to high-volume sites. Lower-volume operations may find a smaller pack quantity more practical to manage storage and stock rotation.
If you are putting together a compostable packaging range or are unsure which bag format best suits your menu, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£10.56(£12.67 inc VAT)
These are single-use paper portion pots designed for serving sauces, condiments, dressings, and small garnishes. Made from paper with a PE lining, they hold their shape and contain liquids reliably without leaking onto other food — a practical consideration when portioning wet condiments for delivery or plated service.
The paper construction means these pots can be recycled through the same waste streams used for hot cups, rather than going to landfill alongside conventional plastic alternatives. For operators looking to reduce single-use plastic across their disposables range, these are a straightforward substitution that requires no change to service workflow.
In practical terms, they suit a range of front-of-house and back-of-house applications:
- Portioning sauces and dips for table service or takeaway packing
- Pre-portioning dressings for salad or cold food counters
- Condiment service at counters, events, or street food operations
- Grab-and-go packaging where a lidded portion is needed
Compatible paper and PET lids are available separately and create a secure seal — useful where pots need to travel, or where freshness needs to be preserved over a service period. Buying lids alongside pots is worth considering if your use case involves any kind of delivery or extended holding.
A pack of 1000 suits moderate to high-volume operations. Sites with lower turnover or limited storage may prefer smaller pack quantities. If you are unsure which portion pot size or lid combination best fits your service, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£40.61(£48.73 inc VAT)
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.
£66.76(£80.11 inc VAT)
These Vegware Therma paper hot food bags are designed for takeaway and grab-and-go hot food service. Made from paper with thermal properties to help retain heat during transit, they are sized to suit a range of standard hot food portions — from chips and snacks to light meal boxes — and are supplied in a pack of 500 for practical day-to-day stock management.
Vegware products are certified compostable, meaning these bags can be disposed of through industrial composting facilities alongside food waste, which can support operators working towards waste reduction targets or operating in areas with access to commercial composting collections. It is worth confirming that your local waste contractor accepts compostable packaging before committing to a composting disposal route.
From an operational standpoint, these bags work well at high service volumes — the pack size of 500 means less frequent restocking at busy counters, and the consistent sizing helps front-of-house staff work quickly during peak periods. Typical uses include fish and chip shops, street food stalls, cafés, and fast-casual restaurants serving hot takeaway items.
- Compostable construction supports operators with sustainability commitments
- Thermal paper construction helps retain heat during short-transit service
- Consistent sizing aids fast, reliable packing at the counter
- 500-unit pack reduces restocking frequency during busy service
If you are unsure whether this bag size suits your portion sizes or service style, or if you need guidance on Vegware's wider compostable packaging range, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Disposable Food Packaging Buying Guide
Choosing the right packaging
Start with the food. Burger boxes, pizza boxes in 9 and 12 inch sizes, sandwich wedges, tortilla wrap boxes and salad boxes with a window each suit a particular product. For hot food and soups, look at hot food pots, Therma paper hot food bags and microwavable soup cups. Cold portion pots, deli pots and domed cold lids cover sauces, sides and cold items.
Check sizes carefully. Pots and containers are listed in millilitres or ounces, boxes in millimetres, and lids are matched to specific pot sizes. Always confirm the lid fits the pot you are ordering.
