Takeaway Boxes Designed Around Food, Not Guesswork
Every dish travels differently. A greasy kebab needs grease-resistant stock, noodles need steam ventilation, and a salad wrap needs a box that won’t squash the greens. That’s why we don’t offer one-size-fits-all packaging. Instead, we create takeaway food boxes tailored to what’s on your menu. From Chinese takeaway boxes with fold-top lids to kraft boxes for eco-conscious brands, every order is made to work for your food.
Styles and Formats That Work in the Real World
- Cardboard takeaway boxes – sturdy and stackable, ideal for hot food deliveries.
- Kraft paper takeaway boxes – compostable options that align with eco values.
- Takeaway carry boxes – designed with handles for family meals and sharing portions.
- Custom printed takeaway boxes – full-brand coverage with CMYK or Pantone print.
- Large takeaway boxes – perfect for catering, platters, or bulk orders.
Whether you’re after cheap takeaway boxes for single-use service or branded boxes that double as marketing, we’ll help you find the right fit.
Food Packaging That Protects Your Reputation
Anyone in food service knows a customer notices the box before they notice the meal. If it leaks, caves in, or lets the heat out, the experience is ruined. That’s why we stick to food-grade boards and inks approved for direct contact for takeaway food packaging. Everything is produced to meet UK and EU requirements, but more importantly, it’s tested in kitchens like yours so you don’t have to worry about soggy packaging or complaints at the counter.
Eco-Packaging That Diners Notice & Trust
Eco-conscious customers are everywhere, and they want proof that your packaging is as responsible as your menu. Our options include:
- Compostable takeaway packaging for zero-waste restaurants
- Recyclable cardboard boxes for daily operations
- FSC®-certified stocks for brands with audited sustainability goals
You don’t have to compromise on presentation — sustainable doesn’t mean plain. We can add bold printing, cut-out windows, or soft-touch finishes even on eco-friendly materials.
Branding That Travels With Every Order
Your takeaway box is more than a container — it’s a moving advert. From the walk home to the unboxing at the dinner table, branded packaging puts your logo in front of more eyes. We offer:
- Full-colour custom takeaway packaging with graphics, logos, and offers
- Foil stamping and embossing for high-end takeaway meals
- Spot UV finishes to make branding pop under light
- Matte or gloss coatings for extra durability against oils and steam
When your customer snaps a picture for social media, your takeaway packaging design should be part of the story.
Scalable for Start-Ups and Large Chains
Not every food business needs the same order size. That’s why we keep low MOQs from 100 units, ideal for small kitchens testing packaging designs, but scale up to 100,000+ takeaway boxes wholesale for chains and distributors. With everything produced in-house, we maintain consistent quality and keep your artwork secure — no outsourcing, no surprises.

FAQs About Takeaway Packaging
My menu includes oily foods like kebabs and noodles — will these boxes hold up?
They will. We use grease-resistant boards and food-safe coatings, so sauces stay inside the box instead of seeping through. Many of our street-food clients test them during busy service, and they hold firm.
I’m only trialling a new takeaway line. Do I have to order thousands at once?
Not at all. We start from around 100 units, so small kitchens can test packaging without over-ordering. If things scale up, we can move you into wholesale pricing as volumes grow.
I want my packaging to reflect our eco values — what are my choices?
You’ve got a few. Recyclable kraft for that natural look, compostable options if you’re aiming for zero-waste, or FSC®-certified stock if you need a traceable sustainability claim.
Can I still get printing if I don’t order huge runs?
Yes. Even on shorter runs we can print your logo, colours, or offers. It’s often the easiest way for independents to look professional without committing to bulk.
How quickly can I expect delivery?
Most orders land in about 7–10 working days after artwork approval. If you’ve got a peak season rush, let us know and we’ll see if we can fast-track.
