How to Choose the Right Takeaway Packaging
Size and portions
Work from your best-selling dishes and select pack sizes that match your portions. Over-sized packaging wastes money and looks empty; under-sized packaging leaks and damages your reviews. Most takeaway packaging come in multiple sizes, so test one case before committing to bulk.
Material matters
Kraft and bagasse options suit venues marketing sustainability, while polypropylene and aluminium are still most economical for high-volume kitchens. Consider heat resistance for hot food, oil resistance for fried menus, and microwave-safety if customers reheat at home. UK single-use plastic rules restrict some lines — our range is fully compliant.
Cost per serve, not per case
Compare products on cost per serve rather than case price. A slightly dearer case with 25% more units is often cheaper per meal. Our quantity discounts cut the per-unit price automatically, and part-box options let newer businesses start small without overstocking.
Storage and shelf life
Packaging take up shelf space — order a realistic weekly volume rather than one giant quarterly drop. Cases are labelled with counts and dimensions so you can work out storage in advance. Use older cases first and keep paper-based lines dry to protect them.
Bulk Buying & Trade Accounts
Every product has automatic quantity discounts — the more cases you add, the lower the unit price. Chelmsford businesses ordering weekly can get in touch for contract rates, and our current deals page lists clearance and seasonal offers. VAT invoices are issued automatically for your records.

Consistency matters in food service: being caught short on takeaway packaging mid-service loses orders. Easy Supply holds deep stock on core lines so Chelmsford businesses can rely on availability all year round.

Eco credentials matter for Chelmsford diners: local authorities and apps are pushing paper-based and compostable formats. Switching even part of your range to greener materials is a story worth telling — and our range prices those options competitively.
New to wholesale buying? Begin with one case of your two or three fastest lines, track usage for a fortnight, then set a simple fortnightly reorder. Most Chelmsford customers settle into a predictable cycle that keeps cash flow smooth and shelves tidy.
Delivery apps changed the game: food now spends 20-30 minutes in transit before it is opened. Venting, secure lids and grease barriers make the difference between repeat orders and refunds — which is why choosing delivery-grade packaging pays for itself in Chelmsford's delivery-heavy market.
