Product Description
These are the Vegware No.8 paperboard food boxes — rigid, single-use cartons made from sustainably sourced card and designed for operators who want a compostable alternative to conventional plastic takeaway packaging. Each box holds 1300ml, making them well suited to generous main-course portions, grain bowls, salads, and hot food dishes where a secure, structured container matters.
In service, the boxes perform reliably for both hot and cold food. The grease-resistant lining handles oily or sauced dishes without the box softening or leaking, which is a common failure point with lesser-quality compostable packaging. For busy sites moving high volumes of covers through a takeaway or delivery operation, the rigidity of the carton helps maintain presentation from kitchen to customer.
- Fully compostable in commercial composting facilities — suitable where a food waste collection scheme is in place
- Grease-resistant lining performs well with sauced, oily, or hot dishes
- Rigid paperboard construction maintains shape during service and transit
- Sustainably sourced card — a practical step towards reducing single-use plastic packaging
- Consistent format across a pack of 300 supports efficient stocking and portioning
It is worth noting that compostability depends on access to a commercial composting facility. These boxes will not break down in standard household composting or general waste. Operators considering these as part of a broader sustainability commitment should confirm their waste contractor accepts food-soiled compostable packaging before switching.
These boxes are a practical choice for cafés, canteens, food-to-go concepts, street food operations, and any kitchen running a takeaway or delivery service at moderate to high volume. Sites with lighter packaging requirements may find a smaller format more economical; higher-volume operations may want to review case quantities to reduce restocking frequency.
If you are reviewing your packaging across multiple formats or want to confirm these fit your operation's waste management setup, the team is happy to help you work through it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the grease-resistant lining is designed to handle hot, sauced, and oily dishes without the box losing its structure. They are commonly used for rice dishes, curries, pasta, and similar hot portions where a leak-resistant container is important.
- These boxes are certified compostable in commercial composting facilities, which means they require a food waste collection service that accepts compostable packaging. They will not break down effectively in general waste or home composting, so it is worth confirming with your waste contractor before switching to this format.
- For most busy sites, a pack of 300 provides a practical working stock without taking up excessive storage space. If your operation moves significant volume daily, ordering in greater quantities upfront may reduce the frequency of restocking — the team can advise on what tends to suit different service volumes.
