With extensive research and testing here at Packaging Supplies HQ we have been able to source Kraft virgin paper which is 100% food grade and can come into direct contact with food.
Many fish and chip boxes have Kraft paper on the outside of the box and recycled paper on the inside - which is the traditional way to make them - but made in this way, it's necessary to put a food-safe layer between the food and the box, like a sheet of greaseproof paper. So, we switched the paper around and put the Kraft paper on the inside of the box, because this is the part that comes into contact with the food.
If you need a copy of the food-grade certification for your operation, please get in touch.
Applying the Kraft paper on the inside has another key advantage, which was evident from our testing. The tighter packed fibres in the kraft paper make it a lot harder for the grease to penetrate, meaning, less absorption into the cardboard.
Did you know that high grease absorption can mean pizza boxes cannot be recycled? With the way we make our pizza boxes, this shouldn't be a problem and most of our food packaging boxes will remain fully recyclable after use.
As well as offering many food grade products, you can be assured that our manufacturing and storage facilities are up to the job and have AA standard BRC accreditation.
Standard fish and chip takeaway boxes like these are very easy to customise. For quantities of 500 and over, you can get your fish and chip boxes custom printed. Just get in touch with the Packaging Supplies team for an instant quotation.
Top Tip: Not all custom boxes have to be printed, we can also make them to a particular size or even with reinforced single wall fluting, for example, we make many reinforced single wall boxes that are suitable for the freezer.
By carefully selecting the right grade for your product and the journey it goes on, we ensure the right box at the best possible price.

Here at Packaging Supplies, we are a big believer in the circular economy. Paper packaging is the closest packaging material to hitting this goal, with an impressive 85.5% recycling rate in the EU. This is the reason that we have changed our product offering to be completely plastic-free and focus our attention on paper products that contain more recycled content and can either be recycled or composted.
These cardboard fish and chip boxes are part of our 100% recyclable range, and they are made from 80% recycled.
All of the Packaging Supplies boxes - including our fish & chips boxes - are made from 80% recycled paper and 20% wood from sustainable forestry. Packaging Supplies are committed to environmental legislation.
Did you know that the corrugated industry is allowing larger companies to lower their carbon footprints regularly? On top of this through selecting experienced packaging suppliers with our expertise and experience within a large range of industries, you will benefit from packaging that will help maximise storage and reduce transport costs. As consumers push for sustainable business practices to be at the forefront of business, the service and knowledge Packaging Supplies offered is welcomed with open arms.
The corrugated industry is helping retail companies to lower their carbon footprint. It is doing this by providing well-designed packaging that maximises storage and reduces transport costs. The industry has also seen a steady reduction in board weight while keeping board strength, which in turn is reducing packaging waste. At Packaging Supplies, we have experience in many industry sectors and can assist in providing the most sustainable packaging solutions.
If you are looking for something a little different, a unique size or printed packaging, we can produce a custom solution for you.

In the late 1970s, two friends and colleagues, Tim Allen and Stewart Middleton saw a gap in the market for a different type of packaging supplier. At the time, other businesses were selling custom made boxes and stocking packaging consumables, but Tim and Stewart wanted to offer more than that. They wanted to give their clients additional services, such as warehouse storage and the ability to have their packaging delivered as and when it was required. Packaging Supplies was established, and the rest is history.
As well as taking steps to reduce our overall carbon footprint, we have taken voluntary action to offset our unavoidable emissions & become a carbon neutral business. We are supporting projects that not only combat climate change but also contribute to multiple UN Sustainable Development goals, creating jobs and building infrastructure for local communities.
