Disposable Food Packaging

These Fiesta bagasse food container bases are made from waste sugarcane fibre — a natural by-product of sugar processing — pressed into a rigid, practical food container suitable for hot and cold takeaway or delivery service. Each base holds 500ml and is sold in packs of 100.

Bagasse is a naturally breathable material, which means steam and moisture can escape rather than being trapped against the food. In practice, this makes a noticeable difference to food quality on delivery — fried food stays crisper, sauced dishes don't become waterlogged, and presentation holds better by the time it reaches the customer. The material is also heat and moisture resistant, so the bases can go from freezer storage through to microwave or oven warming without compromising structural integrity.

From an operational standpoint, these bases offer several practical advantages for takeaway and delivery operations:

• Commercially compostable — diverts packaging waste away from landfill
• Breathable construction reduces condensation and sogginess in delivery food
• Suitable for freezer storage, microwave, and oven use
• Compatible with both compostable bagasse lids and recyclable PET lids
• Consistent rigid construction holds shape under the weight of food and stacking

These bases are straightforward to store and require no special handling. As a single-use item, stock management is worth considering for high-volume sites — operators running significant daily covers may want to factor pack quantities into their ordering cycle to avoid running short during busy periods.

They are well suited to cafés, street food operators, dark kitchens, and any food business offering takeaway or delivery where sustainable packaging is a priority. They are not designed for multiple uses or heavy-duty catering equipment applications.

If you are building out a full compostable packaging range or want to check lid compatibility with your current setup, we are happy to help you work through the options.

These 8oz deli pots from Vegware's 96-Series are made from PLA — a plant-based plastic alternative derived from renewable crops rather than fossil fuels. They are designed for cold deli and takeaway applications: salads, olives, dips, cold sides, and similar portioned foods that need a secure, lidded container for counter display or customer collection.

In a busy deli, café, or grab-and-go setting, these pots handle day-to-day service reliably. The PLA material is suitably rigid for cold food use and provides a reasonable resistance to leaking, which matters when customers are carrying food away. It is worth noting that PLA is not heat-tolerant — these pots are not suitable for hot foods or warm-holding applications, and they should not be used with soups, curries, or anything served at temperature.

The main operational advantage here is the composting credentials. Vegware's PLA pots are certified for commercial composting, meaning that operations with access to a commercial composting facility can divert significant volumes of single-use packaging away from general waste. This supports sustainability reporting and can contribute to waste reduction targets where composting collections are in place. Where commercial composting is not available locally, the plant-based material still represents a step away from conventional petroleum-based plastics.

• Suitable for cold deli, salad, and takeaway portioning
• Commercially compostable where appropriate facilities exist
• Compatible with the Vegware 96-Series flat lid (no straw hole)
• Plant-based PLA material, not petroleum-derived plastic
• Not suitable for hot food or warm-holding

These pots are a practical choice for delis, cafés, farm shops, catering operations, and food-to-go outlets that already have or are working towards a commercial composting waste stream. If you are unsure whether these fit your packaging requirements or want guidance on volumes and compatible lids, the team is happy to help you work through it.

These 1200ml kraft takeaway boxes from Notpla are a practical alternative to conventional disposable food packaging. Rather than a petrol-based plastic coating, the interior is lined with a natural seaweed-derived material that makes the box fully compostable at end of life. The kraft exterior gives them a clean, neutral appearance that works across most food-to-go and delivery operations.

The seaweed lining provides effective resistance to moisture and grease, making the boxes suitable for a wide range of portion types — hot mains, cold salads, sauced dishes, or dry snacks. Leakage during transport is a common problem with poorly coated boxes; the Notpla lining addresses this without relying on synthetic materials. Construction is robust enough to maintain shape during delivery runs, which helps protect presentation as well as contents.

From an operational standpoint, these boxes offer a few practical advantages worth considering:

• Fully compostable — no need to separate liner from box for disposal
• Leakproof lining handles wet and sauced dishes without softening
• Suitable for hot and cold food, reducing the need for multiple box types
• Kraft finish presents well for branded or unbranded delivery packaging
• Pack of 250 suits moderate-volume takeaway and delivery operations

There are no special storage requirements beyond keeping stock dry and away from excessive humidity, which is standard practice for any paper-based packaging. As with all compostable packaging, operators should check that their waste contractor accepts certified compostable materials, as not all commercial collections do.

These boxes are well suited to cafés, restaurants running a delivery operation, street food traders, and grab-and-go counters where sustainability credentials matter to the customer base. For higher-volume sites packaging hundreds of covers per service, it is worth reviewing pack quantities and case pricing to ensure stock levels remain manageable.

If you are unsure which box size or format best suits your portion sizes and service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These hinged food containers are made from bagasse — the fibrous pulp left after sugarcane is processed — making them a fully compostable alternative to plastic or foam clamshell packaging. Each container holds 700ml and closes securely with an integrated hinge, keeping food contained during transit without requiring separate lids or additional packaging.

In a busy takeaway or catering environment, bagasse containers offer a practical middle ground between sustainability and functionality. The material handles both hot and cold food reasonably well, making it suitable for a wide range of dishes from hot mains to salads and sides. The hinged format is particularly useful where speed of service matters, as it removes the need to match separate base and lid components during a busy service period.

• Compostable to recognised standards — supports waste reduction commitments
• Integrated hinge keeps lid and base together, reducing packaging waste and service errors
• Suitable for both hot and cold food
• Pack of 250 suits moderate to high-volume takeaway and catering operations
• Natural white finish presents well for customer-facing service

These containers are single-use and intended for ambient or cool storage prior to use. They are not designed for oven reheating and are not suitable for liquid-heavy dishes where leakage could be an issue. Storage space for bulk packs is worth considering — at 250 units per pack, volume adds up quickly in a smaller kitchen or prep area.

Well suited to cafés, delis, street food operations, school or workplace caterers, and event catering where compostable packaging is a requirement or preference. If your operation runs at very high volume, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format or a heavier-gauge container better fits your throughput and handling needs.

If you are uncertain which container size or material best fits your menu and service style, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

These are straightforward polypropylene rectangular food containers from Fastpac, supplied in packs of 300. At 500ml capacity, they sit at the smaller end of the range — well suited to single-portion sides, sauces, soups, rice, or snack-sized mains rather than full meal portions.

Made from polypropylene and incorporating 30% organically sourced minerals in their construction, these containers are microwave-safe, which means customers can reheat directly in the box without needing to transfer food. The material is also heat-resistant enough to handle freshly prepared hot food at the point of packing. The secure-fitting lid keeps contents intact during delivery and transit, reducing the risk of leakage and spillage complaints.

• Microwave-safe for straightforward customer reheating
• Leak-resistant construction helps protect contents during delivery
• Polypropylene material handles hot food at the point of packing
• Sustainably made with 30% organically sourced minerals
• Pack of 300 suits moderate-volume takeaway and food-to-go operations

For takeaway and delivery-focused operations, the 500ml size works best as part of a broader container range — you would typically stock a smaller and larger format alongside this one to cover the full menu. Operators running higher volumes may want to consider bulk case quantities to keep unit costs down.

If you are putting together a disposables range and want guidance on which container sizes and formats suit your menu, the team is happy to talk it through.

These red and white striped paper popcorn bags are a practical disposable packaging option for operators serving popcorn at volume. Supplied in packs of 1000, they are well suited to concession stands, cinema-style food service, school events, funfairs, and catering operations where consistent, single-use presentation is needed across a busy session.

The classic striped design is immediately recognisable to customers and requires no additional branding to communicate what is being served. Being made from paper rather than plastic, they are recyclable and compostable, which is a practical consideration for operators managing waste disposal at outdoor events or venues with sustainability requirements.

At this pack quantity, these bags suit operations that run regular events or maintain ongoing popcorn service rather than a one-off occasion. Having sufficient stock on hand avoids mid-event shortages during busy periods, which is a common operational frustration with lower-quantity packs.

It is worth considering your anticipated service volume before ordering. For operators running very high-footfall events where throughput is rapid, it may be worth reviewing whether a larger pack format or a different bag size better matches your portion and service requirements. If you are unsure which size or quantity works best for your operation, the team is happy to help you work that out before you order.

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.

These kraft clamshell boxes from Notpla are designed specifically for hot dog service and similar handheld street food formats. Rather than using a conventional petrol-based coating to achieve moisture resistance, Notpla lines their packaging with a natural seaweed compound. The result is a box that handles hot, wet, and greasy contents without softening or leaking, but which breaks down completely after use — no plastic residue, no specialist industrial composting required.

In a busy service environment, the clamshell format keeps food contained and reasonably warm during handover, which matters when there's a queue to move through. The construction is firm enough to prevent the box collapsing under the weight of a loaded hot dog and condiments, and the snap-close lid stays shut during transit without needing a separate sleeve or wrap.

From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are practical as much as environmental:

• Leakproof lining handles wet, greasy, and hot contents reliably
• Clamshell format keeps food secure without additional wrapping
• Fully compostable — no separation of liner from board required
• Kraft finish presents cleanly at point of sale
• Pack of 350 suits moderate to high-volume street food or event catering

There are no electrical or gas considerations here, but it's worth confirming your composting or waste disposal arrangements before committing. If your local collection stream doesn't accept food-soiled compostables, the environmental benefit is harder to realise — worth checking with your waste contractor.

These boxes are well suited to street food traders, festival and event caterers, and any takeaway operation looking to move away from plastic-coated packaging without compromising on performance. For very high-volume sites running through significantly more than 350 units per service, it's worth looking at larger case quantities to reduce handling and reorder frequency.

If you're unsure whether these are the right fit for your setup or want to discuss quantities, the team is happy to help.

These Vegware domed lids are designed to fit the 170ml (6oz) and 230ml (8oz) cold food pots in the Vegware range. Made from PLA — a plant-based compostable plastic derived from renewable sources — they are intended specifically for cold food applications such as ice cream, frozen yoghurt, cold desserts, and chilled snacks. The domed profile provides clearance for toppings or garnishes without compressing them during transit or display.

In a busy service environment, lids like these do straightforward but important work: they keep cold items contained, presentable, and hygienic from point of preparation through to the customer's hands. The PLA material is clear, which allows customers to see the product without opening the lid — a practical advantage for grab-and-go counters, market stalls, or self-serve dessert stations.

• Clear PLA construction for product visibility without opening
• Domed profile accommodates toppings and garnishes cleanly
• Fits both 170ml and 230ml Vegware cold food pots
• Compostable via industrial composting facilities
• Supplied in a pack of 1,000, suited to regular high-volume use

One practical consideration worth noting: PLA-based compostable packaging requires industrial composting to break down properly — it will not compost in a standard home compost bin, and it should not be placed in standard recycling streams. If your operation is working towards a compostable waste stream, it is worth confirming that your waste contractor can handle PLA before committing to this format across your menu.

These lids are well suited to cafés, dessert bars, event caterers, and any operation serving cold portions in individual pots where a sustainable packaging solution is a priority. For operators with higher throughput or different pot sizes, other formats within the Vegware range may be more appropriate.

If you are building out a compostable packaging setup across your operation and want to make sure the components work together, we are happy to help you work through the options.

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.

These Fiesta bagasse container bases are manufactured from sugarcane fibre — a byproduct of sugar production that would otherwise go to waste. The result is a sturdy, single-use food container base that can be commercially composted after use, making it a practical choice for operators looking to reduce packaging waste going to landfill.

In a busy takeaway or delivery operation, condensation is a genuine problem. Bagasse is naturally breathable, which means steam can escape rather than pooling inside the container and softening the food. This is particularly useful for hot dishes, rice-based meals, and fried items where texture matters by the time the customer opens the packaging. The material also tolerates freezing and gentle reheating, giving both operators and their customers some flexibility when preparing or finishing dishes.

From a practical standpoint, these bases offer a few clear advantages for food-to-go services:

• Commercially compostable, supporting waste reduction commitments
• Breathable construction reduces condensation and soggy food
• Compatible with both compostable bagasse lids and recyclable PET lids
• Suitable for use in microwaves, ovens, and freezers
• Pack of 100 suits regular stock rotation for most counters

There are no complex installation considerations here, but it is worth confirming that your waste contractor accepts commercially compostable packaging before committing to a compostable packaging range. Not all local authorities or waste handlers process bagasse, and placing it in general recycling or food waste bins may negate the environmental benefit. If in-house composting is not available, the composting claim only holds where a certified commercial composting facility is used.

These bases are well suited to cafés, canteens, takeaways, and street food operations that serve hot or cold dishes in a portable format and want to move away from plastic or foam containers. For very high-volume sites going through significant quantities daily, it is worth discussing bulk purchasing options with us to manage cost and storage.

If you are building out a full compostable or sustainable packaging range and want to make sure the lids, bases, and disposal arrangements all line up properly, we are happy to talk it through.

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 large sandwich platters from Vegware are designed for presenting cold finger foods, sandwiches, and traybakes at outside catering events, buffets, and hospitality functions. Each platter is made from renewable paperboard with a PLA lining to prevent moisture from transferring to the base, keeping presentation tidy even with filled sandwiches or moist items sitting for a period.

The high-clarity PLA window lid allows guests to see the contents without lifting it, which works well in self-service buffet and event settings. Assembly is straightforward, which matters when you are setting up multiple platters quickly at a venue. The platters come flat-packed in a 25-unit pack, making storage practical in prep areas or event transport kits.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical points are:

• PLA-lined base resists moisture from sandwich fillings during service
• Clear window lid maintains food visibility without handling
• Flat-pack format keeps storage footprint small
• Commercially compostable where appropriate collection facilities exist
• Lightweight at 15g per unit, practical for mobile and outdoor event use

It is worth noting that commercial compostability requires access to a commercial composting facility — these platters are not suitable for home compost bins, and operators should confirm their waste contractor can accept PLA-lined packaging before committing to a large stock holding.

These platters are well suited to outside caterers, event hospitality teams, sandwich shops offering platters for collection, and workplace catering operations. For higher-volume sites or those needing different platter sizes, alternative options are available across the range.

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

These Vegware microflute boxes are a practical takeaway packaging solution for operators running food-to-go, street food, or delivery services. Constructed from corrugated microflute board with a compostable inner coating, they provide a rigid, heat-tolerant container that holds its structure whether the contents are hot or cold. The hinged lid includes a perforation that allows customers to detach it cleanly at the point of eating — a small detail that matters at busy counters.

In service, the fluted construction provides useful insulation, helping to retain food temperature during short delivery runs or while sitting in a hot cabinet awaiting collection. The boxes are lightweight enough to handle at pace but firm enough not to collapse under a generous portion of curry, fried food, or a loaded burger. They suit a wide range of food types, which makes them a reliable single-format option where operators prefer to standardise packaging.

• Compostable construction — certified for commercial composting, supporting waste reduction
• Suitable for use in hot cabinets without deformation
• Hinged lid with tear perforation for easy customer removal
• Handles hot and cold food without leaching or structural failure
• Supplied in a pack of 300, suited to regular-volume food-to-go operations

These boxes are certified compostable, which is increasingly relevant for operators working towards commercial composting agreements or local authority waste schemes. It is worth confirming with your waste contractor that compostable packaging is accepted in your collection stream before committing to volume purchasing.

The 6x5" format suits individual portions and works well for street food events, café counters, and takeaway units. Operators with higher throughput or larger portion sizes may find a bigger format more practical. If you are setting up a new packaging range or rationalising across multiple menu items, the team is happy to talk through what works in practice.

These Vegware tortilla wrap boxes are designed for food-to-go operations that need practical, compostable packaging for filled wraps. Constructed from sustainably sourced kraft paper with a PLA window and lining, each box is fully compostable where industrial composting facilities are available, making them a more responsible alternative to conventional plastic-lined cartons.

In a busy service environment — whether a sandwich bar, café, market stall, or contract catering outlet — the boxes hold their structure well around a filled wrap and present neatly on a counter or in a grab-and-go display. The clear PLA window allows customers to see the contents without opening the packaging, which supports faster purchasing decisions during busy periods.

From an operational standpoint, switching to compostable packaging like this can help businesses meet supplier requirements, support waste reduction targets, and respond to growing customer expectations around single-use plastics. The kraft material also suits operations with a natural or artisan brand identity.

• Fully compostable where industrial composting is accessible
• PLA window provides product visibility without plastic lining
• Sustainably sourced kraft paper construction
• Structured format suitable for filled tortilla wraps
• 500-unit pack suited to regular volume use

It is worth confirming that your waste contractor or local authority accepts industrially compostable packaging before committing to a full rollout — composting infrastructure varies considerably across the UK. If you are unsure whether this format suits your service style or waste setup, the team is happy to help you think it through.

Crafti's Bizzi Meal Bags are paper-based activity bags designed for children dining in restaurants, pubs, and cafés. Made from recycled, FSC-certified kraft paper, each bag combines a practical meal carrier with printed colouring and activity content to keep younger guests occupied at the table — a straightforward way to improve the dining experience for families without requiring additional staff effort.

In a busy service environment, anything that helps young guests settle quickly reduces pressure on front-of-house staff. These bags are a simple, self-contained solution: hand one to a child as they're seated and it works independently from that point. The lightweight paper construction means they're easy to store in bulk and quick to distribute during service.

From an operational standpoint, the bags offer a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Made from recycled, FSC-certified kraft paper — supports sustainability commitments
• Disposable, so no cleaning or retrieval required after the guest leaves
• Compact enough to store in quantity behind the host station or at tables
• Suitable for children's menus, kids' meal packages, or standalone activity giveaways
• Pack of 200 provides reasonable coverage for moderate to high covers before reordering

These bags are well suited to family-friendly restaurants, gastro pubs, hotel dining rooms, and any venue running a dedicated children's menu. They work particularly well where operators want to offer a small added-value item to families without significant cost or complexity. For very high-volume venues such as large leisure attractions or theme dining, it's worth considering whether a larger case quantity would better suit your stock rotation.

If you're unsure how many to order relative to your weekly covers, or whether these fit a specific concept you're running, the team is happy to help you work it out.

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 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.

Notpla's 800ml white takeaway boxes are a compostable alternative to conventional food containers with petrol-based linings. Rather than a synthetic coating, the inside of each box is lined with a natural seaweed-based material that provides genuine moisture resistance without relying on fossil-fuel derivatives. The boxes are designed to handle a range of food types — hot or cold, wet or dry — and the seaweed lining creates a reliable barrier against leaks and soaking, which matters when containers are being filled at pace during busy service.

In operational terms, the key advantage here is that operators can use these boxes across a varied menu without needing separate container types for different moisture levels. The construction holds up well during transport, keeping food protected and presented correctly when it reaches the customer. For kitchens producing high volumes of takeaway and delivery orders, having a single box format that works across multiple dishes helps simplify packaging workflows.

• Compostable construction supports sustainability credentials without compromising function
• Seaweed lining resists moisture from wet or sauced dishes without petrol-based coatings
• Suitable for hot and cold food, reducing the need for multiple container formats
• Robust enough to maintain food integrity during courier and collection delivery
• Pack of 500 provides practical stock volume for busy takeaway operations

These boxes are well suited to takeaway restaurants, dark kitchens, cafés, and food-to-go operations looking to move away from conventional plastic-lined packaging. They are particularly relevant for operators whose customers place value on environmental responsibility, or where local authority or venue requirements favour compostable packaging. At 800ml, the box is a practical mid-size format — operators needing larger capacities for fuller portions or sharing dishes should consider whether an alternative size is more appropriate.

If you're unsure whether this size and format is the right fit for your menu and service style, we're happy to talk it through.

These clear PET lids are designed to pair with Fiesta's bagasse container base range, covering the 500ml, 650ml, 800ml, and 1000ml sizes. The bases are sold separately, and these lids are supplied in packs of 100, making them straightforward to stock alongside whichever base sizes your operation uses.

PET is a widely accepted recyclable material, which suits operators working towards reducing packaging waste or meeting sustainability commitments from their clients or venue. The clear finish serves a practical purpose too — it allows customers to see the contents without opening the container, which is useful for display-style service points, grab-and-go counters, or pre-prepared meal offerings.

A few things worth noting before ordering:

• Compatible with Fiesta bagasse bases only — not a universal fit across other brands or base types
• Suitable for cold food service; not designed for hot food or microwave use
• Clear PET finish makes contents visible for customer-facing display
• Widely recyclable material supports responsible disposal after use
• Supplied in packs of 100, practical for consistent stock rotation

These lids are well suited to cafés, delis, events caterers, and any operation running pre-packed cold food. If you're unsure which base sizes to pair them with, or how many packs to factor in for your service volume, we're happy to help you work that out.

Toastabags disposable toasting bags are single-use bags designed to hold sandwiches and similar filled products during toasting or grilling. Each bag allows the contents to be heated through contact grills or ovens without direct contact with the cooking surface, helping maintain hygiene and reducing cleaning time between orders.

In a busy café, sandwich bar, or hospitality operation, these bags offer a straightforward way to speed up service while keeping grills cleaner for longer. Because each bag is used once and discarded, there is no rinsing or re-drying between covers — a practical advantage during peak periods when throughput matters and staff time is limited.

• Single-use design removes the need to clean reusable bags between orders
• Suitable for use in contact grills and ovens
• Helps prevent cross-contamination between different filled products
• Consistent bag sizing supports a reliable, repeatable service process
• Pack of 1000 suits higher-volume sites with regular toasted sandwich menus

No special installation or equipment is required beyond a compatible grill or oven. It is worth confirming that your existing equipment is suitable for use with single-use toasting bags before ordering in bulk — most standard contact grills are compatible, but some combination or specialist ovens may not be. For lower-volume operations, smaller pack sizes may be more appropriate to avoid excess stock.

A 1000-pack is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and any operation running toasted sandwiches as a regular menu item. For occasional or low-frequency use, a smaller pack quantity is likely the more practical choice.

If you are unsure whether these bags are compatible with your current grilling equipment, or if you are sourcing for multiple sites, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you work out what you need.

These large Vegware sandwich bags are made from recycled kraft paper with a clear PLA window, allowing the contents to be seen without opening the bag. Both the paper and the PLA window are compostable, meaning the entire bag can be processed through an industrial composting facility rather than going to landfill — provided appropriate waste collection is in place.

For food-to-go operations, delis, and sandwich counters, the window panel does useful work at the point of sale. Customers can see the filling, the bread type, and the general presentation without staff needing to handle the product. That supports throughput during busy service periods and reduces unnecessary handling.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Fully compostable construction — kraft paper body and PLA window combined
• Clear window aids customer-facing display without additional packaging
• Recycled kraft material gives a consistent, professional appearance at the counter
• Pack of 1000 reduces restocking frequency during high-volume service
• Suitable for pre-wrapped sandwiches, rolls, and similar filled products

It is worth confirming that your waste contractor accepts PLA alongside paper compostables, as not all commercial composting streams treat mixed-material packaging the same way. Where full composting is not available locally, the environmental benefit is reduced, and it may be worth discussing your disposal arrangements before committing to volume.

These bags are well suited to cafés, sandwich shops, deli counters, schools, and workplace catering operations looking to reduce single-use plastic in their packaging. For sites with a higher throughput or different sizing requirements, alternatives within the Vegware range may be a better fit.

If you are unsure whether this format works for your service style or packaging setup, the team are happy to help you think it through before you order.

These Vegware sandwich platter boxes are a practical, compostable solution for presenting sandwiches, cold finger foods, and tray bakes at catered events, buffets, and hospitality settings. Each box includes a separate insert and a high-clarity PLA window lid, keeping contents visible and neatly arranged without additional wrapping or platters.

The boxes are made from renewable paperboard with a plant-based PLA lining, which prevents moisture transfer and leakage from cold, lightly dressed fillings. The laminated construction holds up well through typical event service periods without the base softening or losing its shape. Assembly is straightforward, which matters when you're setting up large numbers for a function.

• Commercially compostable — suitable for food waste streams at certified composting facilities
• PLA-lined base prevents moisture seeping through during service
• Clear lid allows guests to identify contents without lifting or disturbing the display
• Flat-pack format keeps storage footprint manageable in prep and back-of-house areas
• Lower carbon footprint during production compared to conventional plastic alternatives

These are worth considering for outside catering operations, sandwich delivery, and event buffets where single-use presentation is required and waste reduction is a priority. It's worth confirming with your waste contractor that commercially compostable packaging can be accepted at your local facility, as collection infrastructure does vary across the UK.

If you're unsure which format suits your service style or volume, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These are plain, single-wall corrugated cardboard pizza boxes designed for standard 14" pizzas. Made from recycled paper and natural fibre, they are fully compostable and carry no printed design, leaving the surface clear for operators who want to apply their own branding or labelling.

The corrugated construction provides reasonable rigidity during transit and helps slow heat loss, which is a practical consideration for delivery and takeaway operations where the box may be handled several times before it reaches the customer. The small tab opening keeps the lid closed securely without requiring tape or additional fastening.

For operations looking to reduce their packaging waste footprint, the compostable material means the boxes can be disposed of through appropriate commercial composting routes rather than general waste, which is increasingly relevant as more local authorities and waste contractors expand collection services.

• Plain finish suitable for custom branding or stamps
• Corrugated board helps retain heat during delivery
• Fully compostable via commercial composting streams
• Tab closure keeps lid secure without additional fastening
• Pack of 50 suits moderate weekly volume purchasing

These boxes are well suited to independent pizzerias, takeaways, and restaurant delivery operations running a standard 14" pizza format. For higher-volume sites ordering in bulk, larger pack formats may offer a more practical stock solution. If you are unsure whether this size or pack quantity fits your throughput, the team is happy to help you work that out.

These Vegware flat lids are designed to fit the 115-series range of compostable hot food pots in both 350ml and 455ml sizes. Made from CPLA — a plant-based material derived from renewable sources — they are produced as a direct alternative to conventional oil-based plastic lids, suitable for operators looking to reduce single-use plastic across their packaging line.

CPLA performs well with hot food service. The material handles the heat of soups, porridge, stews, and similar menu items without deforming, which makes these lids practical for counter service, grab-and-go outlets, and takeaway operations where hot pots are sealed at point of service. They sit flat on the pot rather than doming, keeping the overall pack profile low for stacking and bagging.

• CPLA construction tolerates hot food contents without distortion
• Fits Vegware 115-series compostable hot food pots in both sizes
• Certified compostable within 12 weeks at a commercial composting facility
• Plant-based material from renewable sources — no oil-derived plastics
• Supplied in a pack of 500 to suit regular service volumes

From a waste management perspective, these lids are certified compostable, meaning they can be diverted from landfill provided a commercial composting facility is accessible. It is worth confirming your local authority or waste contractor accepts food-contact compostable packaging before switching, as not all commercial composting collections take CPLA. Where the correct waste stream is in place, they offer a straightforward way to support a more sustainable packaging policy.

These lids are well suited to cafés, school canteens, hospital catering, and event caterers already working with compostable packaging. For very high-volume operations ordering daily, it is worth discussing case quantities and ongoing supply with us to ensure continuity of stock.

If you are building out a compostable packaging range or want to check compatibility with your existing pot sizes, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Vegware's No.5 paperboard food boxes are a straightforward compostable alternative to conventional plastic or foam food cartons. Made from sustainably sourced paperboard with a water-based lining, they hold 1050ml of food and are designed for the kind of hot and cold food service that fast food outlets, snack bars, street food traders, and mobile catering operations deal with day to day.

In practice, these boxes hold up well during service. The webbed corners reduce the risk of leaks and help the box maintain its shape when filled with heavier or sauced dishes. For operators running high-turnover counters, that reliability matters — a box that fails under load creates mess and slows service down. These are proportioned for generous portion sizes without being unwieldy for customers eating on the go.

The practical advantages for operators include:

• Fully compostable at industrial composting facilities in under 12 weeks
• Sustainably sourced paperboard with a lower carbon footprint than standard plastic packaging
• Water-based lining keeps the base stable with wet or sauced food
• Webbed corners reduce leaks and help retain box structure during handling
• Supports waste reduction targets and can help lower landfill disposal costs

It is worth noting that composting these boxes requires access to an industrial composting facility — they are not suitable for home composting bins. Operators should confirm their waste contractor accepts certified compostable packaging before switching, as collection infrastructure varies by region.

These boxes are well suited to fast food counters, festival and event catering, street food stalls, and any operation looking to reduce single-use plastic without compromising on practicality. For very high-volume sites that go through packaging quickly, it is worth considering case-buy options or whether a different size within the Vegware range better matches your portion sizes.

If you are unsure which size or format works best for your menu, the team is happy to talk through your requirements.

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 aluminium foil lids from Fiesta Recyclable are designed to fit standard 1/1 GN foil containers, providing a straightforward cover for food storage, transport, and takeaway service. Supplied in packs of five, they are a practical consumable for kitchens that regularly prepare food in bulk or operate a takeaway or delivery offer.

In a working kitchen, the lids create a close fit over compatible 1/1 GN foil containers, helping to retain heat during transport and reducing the risk of spills when moving food between prep areas, serveries, or vehicles. They can also be used to line a stainless-steel GN pan before use, which keeps the pan clean and speeds up turnaround between service periods — a useful time-saver in high-output kitchens.

• Fits standard 1/1 GN foil containers for a secure close
• Helps retain heat and prevent spills during transport
• Can be used to line stainless-steel GN pans to protect and speed cleaning
• Suitable for placing in standard recycling streams when free from soiling
• Aluminium foil construction — lightweight and easy to handle during busy service

The recyclable nature of the aluminium foil is worth noting for operators looking to manage waste responsibly. Provided the lids are free from food soiling, they can go into standard recycling streams rather than general waste — a consideration for sites with sustainability commitments or waste reduction targets.

These lids are well suited to catering operations that regularly use 1/1 GN foil containers, including contract caterers, event caterers, schools, care homes, and kitchens running a takeaway or delivery service. They are a standard consumable rather than a specialised product, so if you are looking to pair them with compatible containers or need advice on foil packaging for a specific service format, the team is happy to help.

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 800ml kraft takeaway boxes from Notpla are a practical alternative to conventional disposable food packaging. Rather than using a petrol-based plastic coating to make the box moisture-resistant, Notpla line theirs with a natural seaweed-derived material. The result is a box that handles hot, cold, wet, and dry food without leaking, and that breaks down fully after use — behaving, as the manufacturer puts it, much like fruit peel rather than leaving microplastic residue behind.

In operational terms, the boxes perform reliably across the kind of contents a typical takeaway or food-to-go operation sends out: noodle dishes, rice boxes, salads, hot food portions, and similar. The leakproof lining means saucy or moist dishes travel without compromising the box structure, which matters when customers are carrying food away or when delivery riders are handling multiple bags. The kraft board construction keeps its shape reasonably well under normal service conditions.

From a practical standpoint, the main operational advantages are:

• Fully compostable — accepted by industrial composting facilities
• Leakproof seaweed lining handles wet and oily food contents
• No petrol-based coatings — meets growing operator and consumer demand for lower-impact packaging
• Kraft construction provides adequate rigidity for transport
• Available in 500-unit packs, suited to moderate-to-high-volume takeaway service

It is worth confirming with your local waste contractor that they accept industrially compostable packaging, as collection and processing infrastructure varies across UK regions. These boxes are not designed for oven or microwave use by the end customer.

These boxes are well suited to independent takeaways, food-to-go operators, street food traders, and catering businesses looking to move away from plastic-coated disposables without compromising on leakproof performance. If your operation runs at very high volume and you require larger pack sizes or different capacities, it is worth exploring the wider Notpla range.

If you are unsure whether these suit your service style or portion sizes, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
