How to Choose the Right Charcoal

Match the size to your menu

Start with your most popular dishes and pick pack sizes to suit them. Over-sized packaging wastes money and looks empty; too small risks spills and poor reviews. Many charcoal come in several sizes, so test one case before ordering bulk.

Material matters

Paper-based and compostable materials work well for venues with eco-conscious customers, while plastic and foil remain most economical for high-volume kitchens. Consider heat resistance for hot food, grease-proofing for fried menus, and microwave-safety if customers reheat at home. UK single-use plastic rules restrict some lines — our range is fully compliant.

Think in cost-per-serve

Compare products on cost per serve rather than case price. A slightly dearer case with 25% more units is often cheaper per meal. Our bulk tiers cut the per-unit price as you add cases, and part-box options let newer businesses try lines without overstocking.

Storage and shelf life

Packaging need dry, clean storage space — plan a realistic weekly volume instead of bulk you cannot rack. Case dimensions are listed on product pages so you can plan shelf space in advance. Use older cases first and keep kraft and paper products dry to avoid warping.

Bulk Buying & Trade Accounts

Every product carries automatic quantity discounts — the more cases you add, the lower the unit price. Preston customers with regular volume 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.

First time ordering wholesale? Begin with a case each of your core items, measure how long they last, then move to a regular reorder. Most Preston businesses end up with a steady cycle that keeps cash flow smooth and shelves tidy.

Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat raised the bar: food now travels further and waits longer than dine-in service ever demanded. Heat retention and leak resistance make the difference between repeat orders and refunds — which is why spec-ing packaging for delivery is money well spent in Preston's delivery-heavy market.
