Collection: Food Containers & Lids

When food needs to be packed quickly, the wrong container can create unnecessary problems. A lid that does not fit properly, a container that is too small for the portion, or packaging that does not suit the food being served can make takeaway and food preparation harder than it needs to be.

Food Containers & Lids collection brings together practical packaging and food-service options for takeaway, food storage, preparation and serving. The range includes food containers, lids, sauce pots, bowls, plates, trays, cups, bags and other disposable food-service packaging.

The easiest way to choose is to start with what you are serving, how it needs to be packed and the quantity you need, then select packaging that suits the job.

Food Containers for Takeaway & Prepared Meals

When prepared food is being packed for customers, the container needs to suit the portion, shape and type of food being served.

The collection includes Easy Pack Rectangular Food Containers and Plastic Round Food Containers in different sizes. For example, The 1000ml rectangular Easy Pack container is made from food-grade polypropylene and is designed for takeaway and catering use.

These options can suit takeaway meals, prepared foods and everyday food-service requirements.

For larger portions or meals that need more space, a larger container may be more suitable. Smaller meals, sides or portions can be accommodated with a more compact option.

When a lid is required, the container and lid should be checked for size and compatibility before ordering.

Lids for Food Containers & Takeaway Packaging

When a lid is required, choosing the correct size and format is important for a suitable fit.

The collection includes rectangular container lids, round container lids, deli-container lids and other disposable lid options designed for different packaging formats. For example, the Lid for Plastic Rectangular Food Container is designed for rectangular food containers, while the Easy Pack Lids for Plastic Round Food Containers are designed for the corresponding round container range.

Before ordering, check the shape, size and product compatibility so the lid selected is suitable for the container being used.

Beyond meal containers and their lids, the collection also includes smaller packaging options for sauces, dressings and condiments.

Sauce Containers for Portions & Condiments

Sauces, dressings and condiments are often packed separately from the main meal. An appropriately sized sauce container can make portioning and serving more convenient.

The collection includes 4oz Plastic Sauce Containers with Hinged Lid, providing different capacities for smaller food-service portions. The 2oz option is listed as 50ml, while the 4oz option is supplied in a bulk 1000-piece pack.

These options can be useful for takeaway meals, catering orders and food-service applications where sauces or condiments need to be supplied separately.

The most suitable size will depend on how much sauce or condiment is normally provided with each order.

Foil Containers & Trays for Takeaway Food

For larger meals and prepared foods, foil containers and trays provide another practical packaging option.

The collection includes rectangular and square foil containers and trays, with compatible lid options available for selected formats. For example, the Large Square Foil Container – 1500ml is designed for catering, takeaway, bakery and hospitality use, with a compatible board lid available separately.

These can be considered for prepared meals, takeaway orders and catering, depending on the particular container and its intended use.

When choosing a foil container, consider the portion size, shape of the meal and whether a compatible lid is required.

Bowls, Plates & Serving Packaging

Not every food order is best suited to a standard rectangular container. Bowls, plates and other serving products can be more practical for certain meals, sides and food-service requirements.

The collection includes option such as Pac Trading 240ml (8oz) Sugarcane Bowl White along with other bowls, tubs, cups and serving packaging.

The choice can be based on the type of food, portion size and how it will be served, helping you select packaging that is more suitable for the particular order.

Food Bags for Packing & Takeaway

For certain takeaway items, a bag can be more practical than rigid packaging. The collection includes 3F Brown Flat Bags 235 × 200mm, as well as other food-grade paper bag options in different sizes.

Available options include 185 × 165mm, 200 × 200mm and 235 × 200mm flat bags, allowing a suitable bag size to be selected according to the item being packed.

For smaller or suitable takeaway items, a paper bag can provide a simple alternative where rigid packaging is not required.

Choosing the Right Food Container

The right packaging depends on what your business needs to pack and serve every day.

1. Packing takeaway meals? Consider the portion size and shape of the food before choosing a container.
2. Need a lid? Check the container shape, dimensions and product compatibility before ordering.
3. Serving sauces or condiments? Choose a sauce container according to the quantity normally provided with each order.
4. Packing prepared meals? Consider whether a plastic container or foil tray is more appropriate for the food being packed.
5. Serving sides or other foods? A bowl, plate or smaller container may be more suitable than a standard meal container.
6. Packing smaller food items? Check whether a paper food bag would be more practical than rigid packaging.
7. Ordering in bulk? Check the pack or carton quantity as well as the individual product size before placing your order.

A little time spent choosing the appropriate packaging can help avoid the frustration of containers that are too small, unsuitable for the food or paired with the wrong lid.

Food Packaging for Different Businesses

Different food-service businesses may use these packaging options in different ways, depending on their menu, order volumes and service model.

1. Restaurants and takeaway businesses may need a combination of meal containers, foil trays, sauce containers, lids and other packaging for customer orders.
2. Cafés and food outlets can use bowls, plates, cups, containers and bags for different menu items and takeaway requirements.
3. Catering businesses may require larger quantities of containers, trays and serving products for events, prepared meals and food distribution.
4. Food preparation and delivery businesses may need practical packaging for portioning, packing and transporting prepared food.

The aim is not to choose the largest container or use the same packaging for every order. It is to select the size, type and quantity that fit the food and the way it will be served.
