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.
£37.99(£45.59 inc VAT)
Notpla's clamshell burger boxes are a practical alternative to conventional takeaway packaging. Instead of the petrol-based coatings found on most disposable food boxes, these use a natural seaweed lining that makes them fully compostable — breaking down without leaving harmful residues behind. They are designed for the kind of varied contents common in busy takeaway and street food environments: hot burgers, cold wraps, wet sauces, and dry snacks can all be handled without the box leaking or losing its structure.
In a service context, consistency of presentation matters. These boxes hold their form during transport and help protect food from crushing or spillage between kitchen and customer. The seaweed coating provides sufficient grease and moisture resistance for most burger and snack applications, making them a dependable choice for sites looking to move away from single-use plastics without compromising on practicality.
- Natural seaweed lining provides grease and moisture resistance
- Fully compostable — breaks down without petrochemical residue
- Secure clamshell closure maintains presentation during transit
- Suitable for hot, cold, wet, or dry food contents
- Available in a pack of 200, suited to regular service volume
These boxes are well suited to independent burger restaurants, street food traders, festival caterers, and dark kitchen operations where sustainable packaging is either a business priority or increasingly expected by customers. For very high-volume sites going through several hundred covers daily, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format would reduce restocking frequency.
If you are unsure whether this box size is right for your portion sizes or packaging workflow, our team is happy to help you work it out before you order.
£46.14(£55.37 inc VAT)
Notpla's rectangular kraft trays are a takeaway and food-service packaging option for operators looking to move away from conventional disposables with petroleum-based coatings. The trays are lined with a natural seaweed-derived coating that makes them fully compostable — they break down without leaving residue, in the way organic matter naturally does, rather than persisting in landfill or recycling streams.
In practical service use, the seaweed lining provides a reliable moisture barrier. The trays handle hot and cold foods, wet sauces, and dry snacks without the base softening or leaking during a typical service. For street food, events catering, and grab-and-go operations where presentation and structural integrity during transit both matter, this is a meaningful operational advantage over uncoated kraft alternatives.
- Fully compostable — no petroleum-based coatings or plastic liners
- Leakproof seaweed lining suitable for hot, cold, wet, and dry contents
- Robust enough for transport and general service handling
- Kraft construction presents well for food-to-go and events settings
- Supplied in 400-unit packs — practical for medium to high-volume operations
These trays are well suited to food-to-go operators, events and festival caterers, and any business with sustainability commitments that require demonstrable single-use plastic reduction. They are not intended for reuse. Operators with very high pack quantities may want to consider pallet-quantity purchasing for cost efficiency.
If you are unsure whether these trays are the right format for your service style or menu, the team is happy to talk it through.
£117.00(£140.40 inc VAT)
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.
£81.50(£97.80 inc VAT)
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.
£45.16(£54.19 inc VAT)
Notpla's kraft deep trays are a compostable alternative to conventional takeaway trays that rely on plastic or petroleum-based coatings. Instead of a synthetic lining, these trays use a natural seaweed-based coating that makes the container fully compostable — breaking down without leaving residue, much like fruit peel. Each tray is a compact deep format, suited to portion-sized servings across a range of food types.
In practice, the seaweed lining provides reliable moisture resistance, meaning the trays handle wet, saucy, or hot food without softening or leaking in the way that uncoated kraft board would. They are suitable for hot or cold contents, which makes them practical across a variety of service contexts — street food, event catering, festival operations, and grab-and-go counters where compostable packaging is either required or preferred.
- Seaweed-lined construction resists moisture and grease without plastic coatings
- Handles hot and cold food without structural failure during service
- Fully compostable — no separation of components required before disposal
- Kraft board exterior prints and brands well for operators with packaging requirements
- Supplied in a pack of 340, reducing frequency of reordering at busy sites
The main practical consideration is compostable certification and local waste infrastructure. These trays are designed to enter a composting stream rather than general waste or recycling. Operators should confirm their waste contractor accepts compostable food packaging before switching from conventional alternatives. Bulk pack sizing of 340 units suits medium-volume operations; higher-volume sites may want to consider case quantities.
These trays are well suited to operators with sustainability commitments, event caterers working under compostable-only packaging requirements, and food businesses looking to move away from plastic-lined board. If you are unsure whether the format and pack size are right for your service volume or waste setup, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£100.00(£120.00 inc VAT)
These Notpla 1750ml kraft takeaway boxes are designed for operators who want a practical, compostable alternative to conventional plastic-lined food packaging. Where standard takeaway boxes rely on petrol-based coatings to achieve moisture resistance, these use a natural seaweed lining that performs comparably in service while remaining fully compostable at end of life.
In busy takeaway and delivery environments, packaging needs to handle a wide range of food types without compromising during transit. The seaweed coating provides reliable leakproofing across hot and cold dishes, wet sauces, and dry goods alike, making these boxes suitable for varied menus without needing different container types for different dishes. The 1750ml capacity suits generous main-course portions and is commonly used for rice dishes, curries, pasta, salads, and similar takeaway formats.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:
- Fully compostable construction — no plastic or petrol-based lining to separate before disposal
- Leakproof seaweed coating handles wet, saucy, and oily food without breakdown
- Robust enough to protect food integrity during third-party delivery
- Kraft finish presents a clean, natural appearance suited to most branding styles
- Pack of 220 provides practical stock volume for moderate to high service periods
There are no special storage requirements beyond keeping the boxes dry and away from damp conditions, which would affect the kraft board. These are ambient-storage disposables and require no additional equipment or preparation before use.
These boxes suit takeaways, restaurants offering delivery, event caterers, and hospitality operators with sustainability commitments or local authority packaging requirements to consider. For very high-volume operations running multiple sittings or large delivery services, it is worth assessing whether a higher pack quantity or alternative size within the Notpla range better matches your throughput.
If you are unsure which size or format is right for your menu, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£46.14(£55.37 inc VAT)
These kraft clamshell boxes from Notpla are a takeaway burger box with a meaningful difference. Rather than the standard petrol-based plastic coatings found on most disposable food packaging, these boxes use a natural seaweed-based lining to achieve their grease and moisture resistance. The result is a box that handles hot, cold, wet, and dry contents without leaking, whilst remaining genuinely compostable at end of life — breaking down naturally in the same way fruit peel does, without leaving microplastics or synthetic residue behind.
For operators running takeaway, street food, or delivery-focused services, these boxes perform reliably across the kind of contents that typically cause problems for standard kraft boxes: sauced burgers, loaded fries, and hot food with steam buildup. The clamshell format keeps food contained during transit and presents well at point of handover.
Key practical points for operators:
- Seaweed-lined interior resists grease and moisture without plastic coatings
- Suitable for hot, cold, wet, and dry food contents
- Fully compostable — no petrol-derived materials in the lining
- Clamshell format supports secure closure during delivery and collection
- Supplied in a pack of 200, suited to moderate to high-volume takeaway operations
These boxes are well suited to independent burger restaurants, food trucks, ghost kitchens, and festival catering operations where both presentation and sustainability credentials matter to customers. For very high-volume sites running continuous service, it is worth considering whether a larger case quantity would be more practical from a storage and ordering frequency standpoint.
If you are unsure whether these boxes are the right fit for your packaging setup or service volumes, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
£69.71(£83.65 inc VAT)
Notpla square trays are single-use food containers made from a kraft board base with a seaweed-derived inner lining. Unlike standard takeaway trays that rely on a thin layer of petrochemical plastic to resist moisture, these use a 100% natural seaweed coating that performs the same function without the environmental cost. The result is a tray that handles hot, cold, wet, and dry contents without leaking or losing structural integrity — and one that breaks down fully after use without leaving residue.
In a service environment, the trays hold up well across a range of food types: sauced dishes, salads, fried foods, and anything with reasonable moisture content. The construction is firm enough to carry without flexing under a full portion, which matters during busy service when lids are being applied quickly and trays are being handed across a counter or packed into delivery bags. The kraft exterior gives a clean, natural appearance that works well for operators positioning themselves as environmentally considered.
- Natural seaweed lining resists moisture without petrochemical coatings
- Suitable for hot, cold, wet, and dry food contents
- Fully compostable — breaks down without residue
- Robust construction holds shape under a full portion during service
- Natural kraft finish suitable for eco-conscious branding
These trays are well suited to street food operators, festival caterers, food-to-go counters, and any site with a sustainability commitment where compostable packaging forms part of the offer. They work best where compostable waste streams are in place — the environmental benefit is largely lost if they go to general waste. For very high-moisture dishes held for extended periods, it is worth testing under your specific conditions before committing to volume. Pack quantity of 600 suits moderate-to-high-volume sites; lower-volume operations may find a smaller pack size more practical.
If you are unsure whether these trays are the right fit for your menu or service format, the team is happy to talk through the options.
£59.89(£71.87 inc VAT)
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.
£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.
£77.56(£93.07 inc VAT)
These are single-use pizza trays made from kraft card with a seaweed-based lining, produced by Notpla as a plastic-free alternative to conventional coated paperboard or plastic trays. The seaweed coating provides resistance to grease, oil, and moisture, keeping the base and sides intact during service without the need for synthetic liners or films.
In food-to-go and street food environments, tray integrity under oily or heavily topped pizzas is a practical concern. The seaweed lining addresses this reasonably well for standard service conditions — the tray holds its shape during normal handling and transit, making it suitable for counter service, market stalls, and event catering where speed and presentation matter.
Key practical points for operators considering these trays:
- Plastic-free construction — no synthetic lining or coating
- Seaweed-based barrier resists grease, oil, and moisture
- Home and commercially compostable in approximately six weeks
- Kraft finish presents cleanly for branded or unbranded service
- 350-unit pack format suits regular-volume food-to-go operations
These are a straightforward swap for operators looking to move away from plastic-lined disposables. They are well suited to pizzerias, food trucks, market traders, and catering companies with a sustainability commitment or where compostable packaging is a customer or venue requirement. For very high-volume operations turning over significantly more than 350 units per service, it is worth considering bulk case quantities to reduce handling and storage frequency.
If you are unsure which pack format or tray size fits your service model, the team is happy to help you work that out before you order.
£104.00(£124.80 inc VAT)
These kraft pie sleeves from Notpla are a plastic-free packaging option designed for vendors selling pies, pasties, and pastries to go. The sleeve format holds the product securely during service and transport, making it practical for counter sales, market stalls, bakeries, and street food operations alike.
The lining is derived from seaweed, which gives the sleeve its grease resistance without relying on plastic coatings or synthetic barriers. In practice, this means the packaging holds up against the heat and moisture of freshly baked pastry without becoming soggy or translucent — a common issue with uncoated kraft alternatives. The sleeve performs reliably with hot, cold, wet, or dry fillings.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:
- Fully compostable — breaks down like food waste, leaving no microplastics
- Grease-resistant lining handles buttery pastry without bleed-through
- Suitable for both hot and cold products across counter and takeaway service
- 100% plastic-free, supporting plastic reduction commitments and waste reporting
- Available in a 660-unit pack, suited to regular volume use
For operators subject to packaging waste regulations or sustainability reporting requirements, the compostable credentials here are verifiable — Notpla's seaweed-based lining is a traceable, natural material rather than a marketing claim.
Worth noting: these sleeves are sized for standard pies and pasties. If your product is particularly large or deep-filled, it is worth checking the sleeve dimensions against your portion size before committing to a full pack run.
If you are unsure whether these suit your service format or portion size, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.
£68.72(£82.46 inc VAT)
These Notpla kraft chip scoops are a practical, plastic-free serving option for takeaway and food-to-go operations. Each scoop is made from kraft board and lined with Notpla's natural seaweed-based coating, which replaces the conventional plastic lining found in most disposable food packaging. The result is a scoop that handles hot, cold, wet, and dry contents without leaking or going soggy, while remaining fully home and industrially compostable at end of life.
In a busy service environment, they perform reliably during peak periods — the rigid kraft construction holds its shape under the weight of chips, pies, spring rolls, or similar grab-and-go foods, and the seaweed lining prevents grease and moisture from compromising the scoop before the customer reaches their table or leaves the site. They are supplied in cases of 500, which suits moderate to high-volume counters without requiring constant restocking mid-service.
Key practical points worth noting:
- Plastic-free construction — no conventional plastic lining or coating
- Seaweed lining handles hot, greasy, and moist food without breakdown
- Fully compostable — suitable for food waste and composting streams
- Rigid enough for single-handed serving during fast-paced service
- Kraft finish presents well at counter for food-to-go and street food settings
These scoops are well suited to fish and chip shops, street food traders, café counters, and any operator looking to reduce single-use plastic in their packaging without compromising on performance or presentation. For operations running very high cover counts, it is worth reviewing case quantities and storage space before ordering.
If you are reviewing your disposables range more broadly or want to discuss which formats suit your service style, the team are happy to help.
£67.74(£81.29 inc VAT)
Notpla's kraft snack cups are a practical plastic-free option for food-to-go and takeaway operations. Each cup is made from natural materials and lined with a seaweed-based coating that resists moisture and oil, making them suitable for a broad range of snack and side dish applications — from hot chips and fried snacks to salads and dips.
The seaweed lining is what sets these apart from standard uncoated kraft cups. It provides genuine leak resistance without relying on any plastic film, so the cups hold up during transport and service without softening or compromising presentation. They are also tear-resistant enough to handle normal handling and stacking in a busy service environment.
From an operational standpoint, these cups suit businesses looking to reduce single-use plastic across their packaging without compromising on performance:
- Handles hot, cold and oily food without leaking or breaking down
- Composts within approximately six weeks — no specialist facility required
- Tear-resistant construction holds up during busy service periods
- 100% plastic-free, supporting compliance with single-use plastics commitments
- Available in a 400-unit pack, practical for moderate to high-volume operations
These cups are well suited to street food traders, food-to-go counters, café snack menus, and event catering where sustainable packaging matters to both operator and customer. For higher-volume sites running continuous service, it is worth considering whether a larger case quantity would reduce restocking frequency.
If you are unsure which cup size or format fits your menu best, our team is happy to talk it through.
£71.24(£85.49 inc VAT)
These are medium kraft chip scoops from Notpla, designed for food-to-go and takeaway operations that want to move away from conventional plastic packaging. Each scoop is made from kraft board and lined with Notpla's seaweed-based coating rather than a plastic film, which means the finished item is fully plastic-free and home or commercially compostable.
In a busy service environment they perform much as you would expect from a well-made kraft scoop — they hold their shape under hot chips, cope with some moisture from freshly cooked food, and are sturdy enough to handle the pace of a fast-moving counter. The seaweed lining provides the functional resistance that a scoop needs without relying on a synthetic barrier, which is where these differ from standard coated kraft products.
- Fully plastic-free construction, suitable for operators with plastic reduction commitments
- Seaweed-based lining handles hot, cold, wet, and dry contents reliably
- Compostable at end of use — suitable for food waste streams in many facilities
- Consistent shape and rigidity for high-speed, high-volume counter service
- Kraft finish presents cleanly in a food-to-go or street food setting
These are suited to fish and chip shops, street food traders, festival caterers, sports venues, and any food-to-go operation looking to replace plastic-lined or solid-plastic scoops. The 800-unit pack size makes them practical for sites with moderate to high weekly throughput. If your volume is lower, it is worth confirming the pack size works for your storage before ordering.
If you are unsure whether these fit your current packaging setup or waste disposal arrangements, the team is happy to talk it through.
£66.49(£79.79 inc VAT)
These small chip scoops from Notpla are designed for takeaway and food-to-go operations that want to move away from conventional plastic packaging. Each scoop is lined with Notpla's seaweed-based material, which means the entire unit is plastic-free and fully compostable — it can be returned to soil rather than going to landfill or recycling streams that struggle to process mixed-material packaging.
In practice, they hold up well across a range of service conditions. The construction is robust enough to handle hot chips, pies, spring rolls, and similar portions without softening or leaking, whether the contents are hot, cold, wet, or dry. For counter staff working at pace during a lunch rush, that reliability matters — a scoop that holds its shape under a portion of hot, greasy food is a straightforward operational requirement, and these meet it.
Key practical points for operators:
- Fully plastic-free construction with natural seaweed lining
- Handles hot, cold, wet, and dry contents without compromise
- Compostable — suitable for food waste composting streams
- Sized for standard chip and snack portions
- Supplied in a 500-pack, practical for high-turnover service
These scoops are well suited to fish and chip shops, street food operators, market traders, event caterers, and any food-to-go business working towards reducing single-use plastic. They are a sensible choice where councils or venue operators are beginning to set sustainability requirements for traders.
If you are unsure whether this size suits your portion sizes or service style, or if you need advice on broader sustainable packaging across your operation, the team is happy to help.
£58.90(£70.68 inc VAT)
These kraft food boxes from Notpla are made entirely from natural materials and lined with a seaweed-based coating in place of the conventional plastic film found on most takeaway boxes. The seaweed lining provides reliable resistance to grease and moisture, making the boxes suitable for a wide range of hot and cold food applications without the need for any plastic content.
In a busy service environment, that moisture and grease resistance matters practically. Boxes hold their structure during transit, which reduces the risk of leaks or collapse when stacked in delivery bags. The kraft construction is robust enough for standard counter and delivery use, and the optional clip-and-close lid creates a secure seal for food that needs to travel.
From an operational and environmental standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:
- 100% plastic-free construction with no synthetic lining
- Home-compostable in approximately six weeks — no industrial composting facility required
- Grease and moisture resistant for both hot and cold foods
- Compatible with clip-and-close lids for secure delivery packaging
- Available in a case of 260, suited to regular volume usage
These boxes are well suited to food-to-go operators, street food traders, café counters, and delivery-focused kitchens looking to move away from plastic-lined packaging without compromising on performance. They are a practical choice for operators with sustainability commitments or those responding to customer demand for plastic-free packaging. Sites with very high daily volumes may want to consider whether bulk case ordering better suits their throughput.
If you're unsure whether these boxes fit your packaging requirements or want to discuss volume options, the team is happy to help you work it through.
£30.86(£37.03 inc VAT)
Notpla's square open takeaway boxes are single-use food containers made entirely from natural materials. The defining feature is a seaweed-based lining applied to the paperboard, which provides resistance to both moisture and grease without the need for any plastic coating. They come in a 350ml format with an open-top design, suited to foods that are portioned and served immediately rather than sealed for transport.
In a busy service environment, the practical value of a grease-resistant box is straightforward: food sits securely without softening the base or soaking through to the customer's hands. The seaweed lining handles the kind of oily or sauced dishes — rice boxes, chips, noodles, grilled meats — that tend to compromise standard uncoated paperboard within minutes of plating.
- Fully plastic-free construction throughout
- Seaweed lining resists grease and moisture without synthetic additives
- Home-compostable within approximately six weeks
- Open-top format suits high-turnover, fast-serve counters
- 250-unit pack supports consistent stock management for busy sites
From a practical standpoint, these are straightforward to integrate into an existing takeaway or street-food operation. No specialist storage is required beyond keeping the stock dry. The open format does mean they are not suited to dishes that need a sealed lid for transport — operators running delivery services or longer dwell-time packaging would need a lidded alternative.
These boxes are well suited to food businesses looking to move away from plastic-lined or foam packaging without compromising on grease performance. They work particularly well for fast-casual counters, market traders, festival catering, and any operation where environmental credentials matter to the customer base. For higher-volume sites or those needing lidded formats and different capacities, there are other options worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this format is right for your service style or portion sizes, we are happy to talk it through.
£70.69(£84.83 inc VAT)
These food boxes from Notpla are made from kraft board lined with a seaweed-based coating in place of the conventional plastic film used on most takeaway containers. The seaweed lining provides resistance to both moisture and grease, making the boxes practical for a range of hot and cold food applications — from rice and curry to salads and cold sides — without relying on any plastic materials in the construction.
In everyday service use, the boxes hold up well against the kind of liquid and fat content you'd expect from a busy grab-and-go or takeaway operation. The clip-and-close lid design (sold separately) keeps contents secure during transport, which matters when food is handed directly to couriers or collected by customers on the move. The 1000ml capacity is a workable portion size for a main meal, and the kraft appearance suits operators who want packaging that reflects a more considered approach to waste.
The practical case for these boxes goes beyond the environmental angle:
- No plastic lining means no mixed-material recycling complications for end customers
- Home-compostable within approximately six weeks under normal conditions
- Suitable for both hot and cold food service
- Clip-and-close lid available separately for secure transit
- 100% plastic-free construction throughout
It's worth noting that like all fibre-based containers, these are not suitable for prolonged soaking or extended storage of very wet dishes. They are designed for service and transit, not long-term refrigerated holding. For operations where liquid retention is critical, it is worth discussing your specific menu before committing to a full case quantity.
These boxes are well suited to independent takeaways, food-to-go counters, dark kitchens, and catering operations where sustainable packaging is a genuine operational priority rather than an afterthought. If you're unsure whether these suit your portion sizes or service style, feel free to get in touch — we're happy to talk through the options.

These are the matching lids for the Notpla 800ml Clip & Close food boxes, sold in a pack of 260. Made from natural materials with no plastic content, they clip securely onto the corresponding base to keep food contained and presentable during transport or collection.
In a takeaway or food-to-go setting, a reliable lid fit matters. These lids are designed to stay closed under normal handling conditions, reducing the risk of spillage between kitchen and customer. The kraft finish gives a clean, unbranded appearance that suits a range of food concepts.
- Fully plastic-free construction — no mixed-material disposal complications
- Compatible with the Notpla 800ml Clip & Close base (sold separately)
- Suitable for disposal across standard, compostable, and food waste streams
- Kraft finish presents well for counter service and delivery packaging
Because these lids are sold separately from the bases, it is worth confirming your base stock before ordering to keep pack quantities aligned. They are intended solely for use with the matching 800ml Notpla box and are not cross-compatible with other formats or sizes.
These lids suit operators running takeaway, delivery, or grab-and-go services who are moving away from plastic packaging. If your operation uses a different box size or higher volumes, it is worth getting in touch to discuss the full Notpla range and make sure you are ordering the right combination.
If you are unsure which lid and base combination is right for your packaging setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These kraft hotdog trays from Notpla are a straightforward plastic-free option for food-to-go operators serving hot dogs, subs, burritos, and similar handheld items. The trays are lined with Notpla's seaweed-based coating, which provides a natural barrier against grease and moisture without relying on plastic films or PFAS-based treatments. A hooked closure keeps contents secure during service and transit.
In a busy takeaway or market stall environment, the trays hold up well against hot and oily contents — the seaweed lining prevents the softening and leakage that can undermine standard uncoated kraft packaging under similar conditions. They are suitable for high-volume service periods and come in cases of 320, which makes stock management straightforward for operators with consistent throughput.
The practical case for these trays goes beyond their environmental credentials:
- Plastic-free construction supports compliance with single-use plastics regulations
- Seaweed lining resists grease and moisture without synthetic coatings
- Hooked closure reduces spillage during handover and transit
- Home-compostable within approximately six weeks under suitable conditions
- Kraft exterior is compatible with branding stamps or stickers
It is worth noting that compostability depends on disposal conditions — these trays will break down in a suitable home or industrial compost environment, but will not perform differently to standard packaging in landfill. If your site uses a food waste or compostable waste stream, these integrate cleanly into that system.
These trays are well suited to street food operators, event caterers, festival traders, and takeaway units looking to move away from plastic-lined or foam packaging. They are a practical everyday option rather than a premium presentation piece, so operators focused on high-end plating may want to consider alternatives.
If you are working through your packaging specification or want to discuss volumes, the team is happy to help you work out the right fit.

These are the compatible lids for the Notpla Clip & Close 1000ml food boxes, supplied in a pack of 260. Made from 100% natural materials, they are entirely plastic-free and designed to clip securely onto the corresponding base, keeping food contained and presentable during transit or collection.
For operations running a takeaway or delivery service, having a reliable lid that stays closed under movement matters. The clip-close mechanism means lids don't require separate tape or banding, which keeps packaging lines moving at pace during busy service periods. The kraft finish also presents cleanly, which is a consideration for operators conscious of how their packaging reflects on the business.
- Plastic-free construction — suitable for disposal in any waste stream
- Clip-close design holds securely without additional sealing
- Compatible with Notpla 1000ml Clip & Close food boxes
- Bulk pack of 260 suits regular-volume operations
- Natural kraft finish — presentable for customer-facing use
These lids are only compatible with the matching Notpla 1000ml Clip & Close base. They will not fit other box formats or sizes within the range, so it is worth confirming your current box stock before ordering. The 260-pack quantity suits steady-volume operations; sites running very high throughput may want to consider larger stock holdings to avoid running short during peak periods.
Well suited to cafés, delis, grab-and-go operations, and catering businesses looking to move away from plastic packaging without compromising on practicality. If you're building out a full disposables range or want to discuss packaging volumes and options, the team is happy to help.
