Takeaway Boxes

Wholesale Takeaway Boxes — Bagasse Clamshells, Kraft Boxes & Burger Boxes

Takeaway boxes carry the food from your kitchen to the customer's home. They have to hold heat, contain sauce, survive being stacked in a bag for delivery, and present well when opened. Westbids supplies wholesale takeaway boxes to restaurants, takeaways, dark kitchens and cloud-kitchen operators across the UK, with trade pricing and no minimum order.

The four core takeaway-box formats

Bagasse clamshell boxes — moulded sugarcane fibre, fully compostable, plastic-free. The dominant eco-friendly format in UK takeaways. Strong, microwaveable, leak-resistant. Browse the bagasse clamshells collection.
Kraft food boxes — paperboard with grease-resistant lining, branded look, flat-pack for storage. Great for noodles, salads, hot food bowls.
Burger boxes — square hinged boxes specifically sized for burgers and sliders. Available in kraft and bagasse. Browse the burger boxes collection.
Foil containers & lids — aluminium with cardboard or PET lids. The stalwart of curry-house and Chinese-takeaway service. Robust, oven-safe.

Choosing the right takeaway box

Three factors decide which format you want:

1. What's in the box. Hot, wet curries → foil containers. Salads and grain bowls → kraft boxes. Burgers, fish and chips → bagasse clamshells. Dry foods → kraft boxes.
2. Sustainability angle. If you market your business as eco-friendly, bagasse takeaway boxes and kraft boxes outperform foil and plastic on customer perception. Both are home-compostable.
3. Branding. Kraft boxes carry print better than bagasse — if you want your logo prominent, kraft is the natural format. We can produce custom branded packaging on most takeaway-box formats.

Sizing — match the box to the meal, not the brand

Takeaway boxes typically come in 6-inch, 7-inch and 9-inch clamshell formats. A standard burger sits in a 6-inch box; a fish-and-chips meal needs the 9-inch. Get this wrong and you either bruise the food (too tight) or annoy delivery drivers (too loose).
