Wholesale Takeaway Containers for UK Foodservice
Bagasse, paperboard, foil and plastic formats in stock
The takeaway containers range covers the formats foodservice operators rotate fastest — compostable bagasse clamshells in burger and meal-box sizes, FSC paperboard noodle boxes and containers, aluminium foil trays in No.1 through No.12 with matching lids, kraft and plain-brown pizza boxes from 7" to 16", and microwave-safe plastic containers from 500ml to 1000ml. Pallet quantities for the SKUs that move fastest in catering rotation are held in the Newcastle warehouse, with inventory visible on every product page so trade buyers can size orders against live stock.
Takeaway containers certified for direct food contact
Every takeaway containers specification across the range is food-contact safe under UK and EU Regulation 1935/2004. Bagasse and paperboard formats are additionally compostable or FSC-certified for foodservice operators tracking sustainability commitments; aluminium foil and plastic formats are rated for hot service and microwave reheating respectively. Certification documents accompany trade-account orders or can be supplied on request for HACCP audits and supplier-audit due diligence.
No minimum order on the takeaway containers range
Westbids does not operate minimum order quantities on takeaway containers — a single case ships at the same trade pricing as a pallet quantity, with no surcharge or set-up fee. Bulk orders earn tiered discounts on pallet quantities. Free local delivery applies on trade orders over £99 within the Newcastle delivery zone; UK-wide next-day delivery is available at checkout at standard courier rates. Trade accounts unlock volume pricing automatically at checkout; pricing tiers apply across every order without re-quoting.
The four format families — bagasse, kraft, burger and foil
The takeaway containers range divides into four format families, each tuned to a different food category and service style:
- Bagasse clamshells — sugarcane-fibre, home-compostable to EN 13432, microwave-safe and oil/sauce-resistant. Best for hot wet meals (curries, rice bowls, pasta, mixed plates) and operators committing to plastic-free spec. Stocked in 1, 2 and 3-compartment formats from 6" to 9".
- Kraft paperboard food boxes — recyclable through paper streams, branded-finish ready, hinged or noodle-box folding format. Best for dry-to-medium-moisture food (rice, noodles, salads, wraps, chips). Lower thermal hold than bagasse — match to short-hold service.
- Burger boxes — corrugated kraft or printed-finish board with hinged lid. Best for burgers, sliders, hot wraps and bun-format takeaway. 6", 7" and 9" footprints are core UK fast-food sizes.
- Aluminium foil trays — direct oven-to-table tray, hot-hold and reheat-capable, paperboard or foil-lid options. Best for hot-counter service, dark kitchens and venues running par-cook-then-finish. No.1 through No.12 cover single-serve through banquet portion sizes.
Three-factor decision rule — picking takeaway containers by food type
When spec-matching containers to menu, walk the order against three factors in this sequence:
- Service temperature. Hot wet food (curries, rice, soups) → bagasse clamshells or foil trays. Cold or ambient → paperboard or plastic. Reheating end-customer → foil trays or microwave-rated plastic.
- Hold time. Long courier hold (15+ min) → bagasse or foil (higher thermal retention). Short counter/grab-and-go → kraft or burger box (lower cost, lower thermal mass).
- Sustainability commitment. Plastic-free brief → bagasse, kraft and foil only. Brand-driven recyclability → kraft paperboard. Mixed-stream tolerant → plastic still permitted as the cheapest option for cold service.
The 6", 7" and 9" footprints carry the majority of UK takeaway volume — a 6" container suits small wraps and single sides, 7" sits at the standard adult takeaway portion, 9" covers family meals and shareable formats. Stocking the 6/7/9 triplet covers ~80% of typical UK takeaway operations.
Frequently Asked Questions

Are the takeaway containers food-contact certified?
Yes — every takeaway containers specification complies with UK and EU Regulation 1935/2004 for food-contact materials. Bagasse, paperboard and approved plastic ranges all carry food-contact certification, and documents can be supplied on request for HACCP files and supplier-audit due diligence.
Which takeaway containers suit hot-food service?
Aluminium foil trays handle direct oven and hot-hold service; bagasse clamshells are microwave-safe and rated for hot meals; rigid plastic containers are microwave-safe to standard reheating temperatures.
