Takeaway Food Boxes & Meal Trays

Food boxes and trays for serving meals to go

Whether you are running a café lunch counter, a staff catering service, a food van or an event kitchen, food packaging needs to match the way the meal is served. This collection brings together cardboard and kraft takeaway boxes, open trays and meal containers for quick service, grab-and-go displays and carried-away orders.

The range includes kraft burger boxes, snack boxes, chip trays, chip scoops, baguette trays, pizza slice trays, fish and chip boxes, deli boxes, noodle-style fold boxes and folded board meal trays. Kraft and black trays and food boxes provide a straightforward choice for food-to-go presentation, with the natural kraft finish particularly popular for cafés, bakeries, delis, food markets and artisan-style takeaway menus.

Match the format to the food

Open trays and chip scoops

Open food trays are a good choice for fast service where customers are eating immediately. Use chip trays and chip scoops for chips, loaded fries, wedges, nachos, chicken bites, sides, samples and casual street food portions. They are also well suited to festival food, market stalls and temporary catering points where speed of service matters.

Fold-top boxes and closed meal trays

Where food needs more protection while it is carried away, choose a fold-top box or folded board meal tray. These formats work well for burgers, fish and chips, sandwiches, baguettes, deli meals, noodle dishes, rice boxes and complete takeaway meals. A box that holds its shape and closes securely where needed helps keep portions together from counter to customer.

Specialist shapes for popular menus

• Burger boxes and snack boxes for burgers, chicken portions and smaller food-to-go orders.
• Fish and chip boxes, chip scoops and folded board trays for hot meals, chips and sides.
• Baguette trays, deli boxes and pizza slice trays for lunch menus, bakery counters and grab-and-go displays.
• Noodle-style fold boxes and meal trays for noodles, rice dishes, salads, sandwiches and street food meals.

Buying considerations for takeaway service

Cardboard food boxes are a good fit for many hot and cold dishes, but the food itself should guide your choice. Greasy, saucy or very wet meals may require a specifically lined or specialist container rather than a general meal box or open tray. Soups, stews and other liquid dishes should be packed in dedicated soup pots with matching lids.

For regular service, it is worth keeping a small selection of formats on hand: an open tray for immediate eating, a closed box for takeaway orders and a more menu-specific shape for items such as baguettes, pizza slices or fish and chips. This makes it easier for catering teams to portion food neatly and present it consistently during busy lunch periods.

For catering, hospitality and food-to-go teams

These boxes and trays are used across commercial foodservice. Takeaway and fast food counters can keep burger boxes, fish and chip boxes, snack boxes and chip scoops ready for everyday orders. Cafés, delis and bakeries can use baguette trays, pizza slice trays, deli boxes and kraft meal trays for lunch service. Street food traders and food vans can choose trays and folded boxes for markets, pop-ups, festivals and outdoor events.

For larger catering requirements, meal trays and boxes are handy for conferences, buffets, corporate lunches, school events and temporary food stations. Delivery kitchens can use fold-top boxes for burgers, noodles, rice dishes, sides and other delivery-menu portions.

Plan stock levels around your service

Many products in this collection are supplied in cases of 500 or 1000, which can help busy kitchens and catering teams maintain a consistent packaging supply and manage cost per serve. Bulk case quantities are especially helpful for regular takeaway trade, high-volume lunch counters, events and festivals, while also making storage and replenishment easier to organise.
