Take Out Boxes for Reliable Food Packaging
Make every takeaway order easier to pack, carry and enjoy with quality Take Out Boxes from The Premier Packaging UK. Designed for busy food businesses, these boxes provide a practical packaging solution for restaurants, cafés, takeaways, catering companies, street-food outlets, delis and food-delivery services across the UK.
Whether you are serving hot meals, sides, snacks, desserts or cold food-to-go, the right container can make a noticeable difference to your daily operation. Our takeaway food boxes help you organise orders efficiently while presenting food in clean, convenient and professional packaging.
Practical packaging for takeaway businesses
A takeaway box needs to do more than hold food. It should be easy for staff to fill, simple to close, convenient for customers to carry and suitable for the type of meal being served. Our range is designed with the everyday demands of food service in mind.
Use these food boxes for:
- Burgers, chips and loaded fries
- Noodles, rice dishes and pasta
- Fried chicken and other takeaway meals
- Sandwiches, wraps and bakery products
- Salads, sides and appetisers
- Cakes, pastries and individual desserts
- Catering portions and food-to-go orders
The versatile format makes them suitable for independent businesses as well as larger hospitality operations. From a quick lunch order to a family meal, these takeaway containers offer a tidy and dependable way to package food.
Designed for fast service
During busy trading periods, packaging must support your workflow rather than slow it down. Take Out Boxes are easy to handle and can be stored ready for use, helping staff prepare orders quickly and consistently.
Their practical shape also makes them easier to stack than many irregular food containers. This can help save valuable counter and storage space in commercial kitchens, cafés and takeaway shops. A well-organised packaging station may also reduce packing time and help staff keep orders moving during peak hours.
For delivery orders, a suitable box can help keep food grouped together and reduce movement inside a delivery bag. Select the appropriate size and style for your menu so that the packaging provides a comfortable fit without unnecessary empty space.
Suitable for many food types
Different meals require different packaging. Smaller boxes can be useful for sides, snacks and desserts, while larger meal boxes provide additional room for generous portions or combination dishes.
When selecting your boxes, consider:
- The portion size of your meals
- Whether the food is hot, cold, dry or saucy
- How much ventilation your food may need
- Whether the box must fit inside a delivery bag
- How the packaging will be stored and transported
- Whether branding or labelling is required
For foods containing sauces, oils or moisture, always check the product specifications and suitability before use. Packaging performance can vary depending on the material, coating, temperature and length of contact with the food.
A professional customer experience
Packaging is part of the customer experience. Clean, well-presented food boxes can help your business make a positive impression from the moment an order is collected or delivered. A secure box can also make food easier to carry and help reduce spills when handled correctly.
Plain kraft or cardboard-style packaging can create a natural, understated appearance, while printed or branded packaging can help reinforce your visual identity. You can also add stickers, labels, stamps or printed sleeves to communicate your business name, reheating guidance, allergen information or serving instructions.
Choosing the right Take Out Boxes
Before placing an order, measure the food portions and compare them with the internal dimensions of the box. The correct size should allow the food to fit comfortably while avoiding excessive movement. Overfilling may affect closure and presentation, while an oversized box can take up more storage space and may not protect delicate food effectively.
It is also important to follow the supplier’s guidance regarding hot food, microwaving, refrigeration, freezing and recycling. Not every takeaway container is suitable for every application, so checking the specification is an essential part of responsible food packaging selection.
At The Premier Packaging UK, our aim is to help food businesses find convenient packaging for their operational needs. Whether you need boxes for a growing café, a busy takeaway counter or a professional catering service, our Take Out Boxes offer a practical foundation for efficient food service.
Order your food packaging today and give your customers a cleaner, simpler and more convenient takeaway experience.

Aqueous Coating
A clear, water-based coating that dries quickly and protects printed surfaces to improve surface appearance.
UV Coating
A liquid coating that is cured instantly with ultraviolet light to create scuff-resistant matte surface.
Spot UV Coating
A UV coating applied only to selected areas (like logos or text). Used for contrast and visual impact.
Soft Touch Coating
A coating that creates a smooth, velvet like feel to add a premium tactile experience. Can slightly reduce scratch resistance if not laminated.
Varnish
A thin, clear liquid coating applied during printing using the printing press (CMYK process).
Lamination
A plastic film bonded to the printed surface for strong protection against moisture, tearing, and wear.

A special BOPP film lamination designed to resist scratches and scuffs to prevent fingerprints and surface marks.
Soft Touch / Silk Lamination
A laminated film with a silky, peach-skin texture that feels soft and luxurious in hand.
Offset Printing
It utilizes metal plates and a rubber blanket to transfer ink to paper. It’s ideal for large runs to get sharp detail and color consistency.
Digital Printing
Prints directly from digital files without plates. Ideal for short runs, fast turnaround, and cost-effective small quantities.
UV Printing
Ink is cured instantly using UV light, creating durable prints with gloss or raised effects on coated and specialty surfaces.
Water-based Ink
Made with water and pigments instead of solvents. More eco-friendly than oil inks, commonly used in paper packaging.
Soy / Vegetable Ink
Uses soy or vegetable oils with pigments. Offers vibrant color and lower VOCs, but not fully impact-free.
Oil Based Ink
Petroleum-based ink that delivers rich, durable color. Traditional and effective, but less sustainable and harder to recycle.
Pantone (PMS Colors)
Standardized color system using exact ink formulas to ensure consistent and accurate brand colors across print jobs.
Pantone Metallic
Pantone inks with metallic particles for shiny finishes. Used for premium looks but can reduce recyclability.
SBS C1S

White Kraft
Bleached kraft board from virgin and recycled pulp. Coated or uncoated; recyclable, biodegradable if coating is eco-safe.
Black Kraft
Black-dyed kraft from virgin and recycled pulp. Recyclability depends on dye/coating; less biodegradable than natural kraft.
Uncoated Unbleached Kraft
Natural kraft board, no bleaching or coating. Fully recyclable, fully biodegradable, very sustainable.
Hot Foil Stamping
A printing process where metallic or pigmented foil is transferred onto a surface using heat and pressure to create a shiny, decorative effect.
Cold Foil Printing
Foil is transferred onto a surface without heat using UV-curable adhesives and a printing press. Suitable for high-speed commercial printing and flexible materials.
Blind Embossing
A design is raised on a surface without any foil or color, using a die pressed from the front side of the material. This creates a subtle, tactile effect.
Blind Debossing
A design is pressed inward into the material from the front side, creating an indented effect without foil or ink.
Registered Embossing
Embossing that aligns precisely with another printed element (like a logo or foil). Ensures the raised design matches the printed artwork.
Combination Embossing
Embossing combined with foil stamping in a single pass. Produces a raised design that also has a metallic or colored foil finish.
