Choosing the Right Fish and Chip Box for Your Takeaway

Fish and chip boxes come in a range of sizes to suit everything from a child’s portion to a large cod and chips. The most common formats are small, medium and large, with shallow open-top trays suiting chips-only servings and deeper lidded boxes better for full meals. Look for a grease-resistant board construction — typically a coated paperboard — which holds structural integrity even with hot, oily contents. Ventilation holes or perforations help reduce sogginess during transit, making them a practical choice for delivery as well as counter service.

Plain Stock Boxes or Custom-Printed — Which Is Right for You?

If you need packaging quickly or you’re managing tight budgets, plain white or kraft fish and chip boxes ordered from our online store are ready to dispatch with no minimum print run — plain fish and chip boxes available now. Custom-printed boxes are ideal for established shops wanting to reinforce their brand on every order — your logo, colours and contact details printed directly onto the board. Both options are available through CP Packaging, so whether you’re a single-site chippy or a multi-site group, there’s a route that fits your volume and timeline.

Fish and Chip Boxes: Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do fish and chip boxes come in?

Fish and chip boxes are typically available in small, medium and large sizes to suit different portion weights. Most UK suppliers size these to hold roughly 200 g, 350 g and 500 g of product respectively, though exact dimensions vary by manufacturer. It’s worth checking internal dimensions before ordering if your portions are on the generous side.

Can I get fish and chip boxes printed with my logo?

Yes — custom-printed fish and chip boxes can be produced with your branding, including logo, colour scheme and contact details. CP Packaging offers both plain stock boxes and fully printed options depending on your order volume and lead time requirements. Plain boxes from our online store are available with no print minimum if you need to get started quickly.

Are fish and chip takeaway boxes suitable for delivery orders?

Fish and chip takeaway boxes made from coated or grease-resistant paperboard are well suited to delivery, as they hold their shape and resist sogginess better than open trays. Some designs include ventilation to release steam and keep contents crisp. If delivery is a significant part of your service, look for a lidded box format rather than an open-top tray.
