A Practical Guide to Our Takeaway Packaging
In today’s world, takeaway food and drinks are a staple of busy lives. Whether it’s a morning coffee, a quick lunch on the go, or a refreshing drink at a festival, the right packaging makes all the difference. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about keeping food fresh, drinks hot (or cold), and making sure customers leave with a positive impression.
At Business Beverages, we’ve got you covered with a wide range of takeaway packaging that’s not only practical but stylish and sustainable too. Whether you’re a café, a food truck, a bar, or catering for events, we’ve got everything you need to keep your customers happy and your business running smoothly.
Here’s a rundown of the different types of packaging we offer, the pros and cons of each, and how to choose the right one for your needs.
Takeaway Coffee Cups
A good coffee cup isn’t just about holding the drink—it’s about the whole experience. From that first sip to the last drop, the right cup makes all the difference. Here’s what we offer:
Single Wall Cups
These are the most economical option, our single wall cups are perfect for budget-conscious businesses. They’re lightweight, easy to store, and ideal for quick drinks on the go. But be warned—they can get a bit hot to the touch, so a cup sleeve might be a good idea if you’re serving piping hot drinks.
Best For: Fast-paced cafés, office coffee stations, and events where speed and cost are priorities.
Double Wall Cups
Need a little more insulation? Our double wall cups are designed to keep drinks hotter for longer while staying comfortable to hold. With an extra layer built in, they’re sturdier than single wall cups and have a premium feel.
Best For: Coffee shops and offices where people are likely to linger a bit longer with their drinks. Ideal for serving hot chocolate, lattes, and other speciality drinks.
Triple-Walled Ripple Cups
When it comes to heat retention and comfort, triple-walled ripple cups are the top choice. With three layers and a unique ripple design, these cups offer maximum insulation while staying cool to the touch. They also have a stylish look that adds a premium feel to your takeaway service.
Best For: High-end coffee shops, corporate events, and anywhere you want to make a great impression. Perfect for speciality coffees and hot chocolates.
Sizes and Colours
We’ve got all the popular sizes: 8oz, 12oz, and 16oz, covering everything from a quick espresso to a large latte. And with a range of colours to choose from, you can match your branding or just keep things interesting for your customers.
Lid Options
A good lid is the unsung hero of takeaway coffee. We offer:
Sip-Through Lids: Convenient and practical for busy customers on the go.
Plastic-Free Moulded Fibre Lids: Perfect for eco-conscious businesses looking to reduce plastic use.
Pro Tip: Match your lids with our cups for a snug fit that prevents spills and keeps drinks hotter for longer.
Water Cups
Sometimes, you just need a quick drink of water. We offer two great options:
Traditional Plastic Water Cups: Available in blue or clear, these are the classic choice for water coolers and events. They’re lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to stack and store.
7oz Recyclable Paper Water Cups: For a more eco-friendly option, our paper water cups are fully recyclable and perfect for businesses looking to reduce plastic waste.
Best For: Offices, conferences, gyms, and events where hydration is key.
Cups for Bars and Festivals
If you’re serving drinks at bars, festivals, or events, you need something sturdy, reliable, and practical. We’ve got you covered with:
Plastic Pint and Half Pint Cups: Perfect for beer, cider, or soft drinks. They’re tough, transparent, and easy to carry.
Shot Glasses: Compact, stackable, and ideal for serving spirits or mixers.
Shot Bomb Glasses: Designed for popular ‘bomb’ drinks, these glasses feature an inner chamber for the shot, keeping it separate from the mixer until the moment of drinking.
Best For: Bars, clubs, festivals, and events with high volumes of drink service.

How to Choose the Right Packaging for Your Business
With so many options available, choosing the right packaging can feel overwhelming. Here are some practical tips to help you make the best choice:
Consider Your Menu: Different foods need different packaging. Soups and sauces require secure, leak-proof containers, while dry foods like sandwiches can go in simpler boxes. Our Kraft Cardboard Soup Pots and Deli Bowls are perfect for liquid-based dishes, while our Kraft Takeaway Boxes work great for solid foods.
Match Your Brand Style: Packaging is an extension of your brand. If you want a premium look, go for Triple-Walled Ripple Cups or Cupkind Compostable Cups. For a more rustic, eco-friendly vibe, our Kraft Cardboard Boxes and Wooden Cutlery are ideal.
Think About Sustainability: More consumers are looking for sustainable packaging options. If you want to make an eco-friendly statement, choose Edenware or Cupkind coffee cups, Moulded Fibre Packaging, and Wooden Cutlery.
Know Your Audience: If your customers are on the go, convenience and portability are key. Choose packaging with secure lids and easy-carry designs. If you cater to a sit-down crowd, consider more stylish, premium options that enhance the dining experience.
Budget and Cost Efficiency: If budget is a concern, start with the basics like Single Wall Coffee Cups and Plastic Water Cups. As your business grows, you can experiment with premium or eco-friendly options.
