Why UK Businesses Choose Cardboard Food Packaging
Meets Sustainability Standards
The UK’s Plastic Packaging Tax penalises packaging with under 30% recycled content. Switching to cardboard helps businesses stay compliant and reduce their environmental impact.
Aligns with Consumer Expectations
According to WRAP UK, over 70% of UK consumers now prefer food packaging that’s clearly recyclable or compostable.
Practical and Cost-Conscious
- Lightweight and stackable – efficient to store and transport
- Tough enough for cold food use – with leak-resistant options
- Lower-impact – supports commercial sustainability goals
Built for Cold Food & Chilled Display
Our cardboard packaging is built to suit cold food and chilled cabinet items. Whether you serve deli portions, pre-prepped salads or desserts, we’ve got the format to match.
Features include:
- Food-safe linings that protect freshness
- Rigid enough to hold shape in chillers or transport
- Clean, minimal design for clear presentation
- Optional custom branding for a professional finish
Supporting UK Food Businesses
Food businesses across the UK are already switching to cardboard to cut down on single-use plastic and meet changing customer expectations.
