The Most Popular Food Packaging Products Revealed
Whether you’re running a coffee shop, a takeaway, or a busy sandwich bar, the packaging you choose says as much about your business as the food itself. With so many options on the market, it can be hard to know where to start. Here’s a rundown of the most popular food packaging products UK food businesses rely on, and what to think about when choosing yours.
Takeaway Boxes for Every Cuisine
Takeaway boxes are the workhorse of food packaging. From corrugated pizza boxes and burger boxes to noodle boxes, meal boxes, and sandwich boxes, the right box needs to keep food secure, retain heat, and survive the journey from kitchen to customer. Most popular formats now come in fully recyclable or compostable materials, which matters both for compliance and for customers who are increasingly choosing businesses on their environmental credentials.
Browse our full range of food boxes to find the right fit for your menu.
Cups, Bowls & Drinks Packaging
Cups and bowls remain some of the highest-volume packaging products any food or drink business will buy, covering everything from hot drinks to soups, salads, and desserts. If you run a coffee shop specifically, we’ve covered coffee cup sizing and the UK’s single-use plastics rules in detail in our guide to coffee shop packaging and regulations.

Bags & Wrap Sheets
For bakeries, sandwich shops, and anything sold on the move, bags and wrap sheets are essential. Greaseproof paper bags keep food fresh without going soggy, while wrap sheets and foil-lined paper are the go-to choice for burgers, wraps, and anything that needs a bit of extra grip for the customer.

Trays & Scoops for Food Service
Trays and scoops round out the range for businesses serving food fresh or on the go, whether that’s a market stall dishing out chips or a café assembling carry trays for a round of coffees. They’re a small detail, but the right tray makes service faster and presentation better.
