Takeout Containers & Food Boxes
Containers with lids in paper and board, compostable bagasse and PLA, and reusable PP and rigid PS, for food that is stored, delivered, reheated or taken home, as distinct from the clamshells and trays handed straight across a counter.
Leak-proof bagasse where sauce is involved and a seal decides everything. PP deli and takeout containers that wash and come back for dozens of cycles. Clear PLA where the contents need to sell themselves through the wall. And kraft center-lock and noodle boxes that assemble in one motion, because seconds per box across a shift is real time.
Pizza and sandwich boxes in corrugated and kraft board, sized to standard bakes and center-locking so they assemble in one movement. PP portion and soufflé cups for sauces and dressings, with lids that actually stay on in a delivery bag.

The leak test
One failure loses a customer permanently, and it is always the same one: a container of curry that arrives having emptied itself into the delivery bag. Nobody blames the driver. They blame the restaurant.
If sauce is a meaningful part of what leaves your kitchen, order a sample kit and tip one over yourself. We would rather you tested it on our $10 kit than on a customer's order.

BUYING GUIDE
## Leak-proof, reheatable or reusable: pick by the job
Questions, answered
Which container actually will not leak?
Bagasse clamshells and PP deli containers with a sealed lid are the two that hold liquid reliably. Kraft boxes are for dry and semi-dry, excellent for a burger, wrong for a curry.
What survives a delivery driver?
PP deli containers with a snap lid. They stack, they seal, and the customer washes and reuses them, which is a small brand gift on every order.
Are the bagasse containers microwave safe?
Yes, and freezer safe. They are also home compostable in roughly 60–90 days, food residue included.
Do the kraft boxes have a plastic lining?
Our greaseproof kraft carries a food grade lining. We make no compostability claim on it, we would rather tell you that than let a lining be assumed away.
Can I get a vented lid?
Yes on several formats. Venting stops steam softening a hot item in transit, which is the single most common delivery complaint we hear.
What size for a typical main course?
A 26oz to 32oz container covers most single mains. Tell us what you serve and roughly the portion weight and we will be specific rather than approximate.

Hosting? There is a pack for that.
Everything for 25 to 150 guests in one box, and in our Premium packs the bin liner composts too, so there is nothing to sort afterwards.
