Leakproof Takeaway Food Containers
What are Leakproof Takeaway Food Containers?
They are cardboard food containers made in the UK that are leakproof & suitable for hot and cold food. The brown takeaway boxes are compostable food containers and the white cardboard takeaway boxes are recyclable only. These are one of the most versatile ranges of hot food packaging.
The brown food containers are often described as leakproof cardboard boxes due to their innovative construction and lining. They are able to hold oily foods as well as foods with sauces such as gravy without the box leaking, we have even tested them by pouring water in!
Our products are leakproof and grease resistant, microwaveable, stackable, and easy to use. Food containers will easily hold hot, cold, wet, or dry foods. Most importantly, they will keep food fresh for your customers.

Are they really leakproof?
Yes, but for a period of time. These are made from cardboard and have a lining which repels liquid. They are perfect for serving food, taking it away or having delivered and then eaten. They are not designed for food storage to sit and be stored for long lengths of time.
When we describe them as leak proof cardboard boxes, we are only describing the base of the street food containers. The integrated lid does not provide a seal that will stop liquid or sauces from spilling out the top of the food boxes are tipped on their side or upside down.
What sizes are most popular?
Without a doubt, the most popular is the no 8 food box which is 46oz in volume or 1300ml. The no.8 container size is a perfect meal portion. A complimentary size to the no 8 is the no 1 food box which is 26oz or 740ml which makes it a great size for a side portion of food or dessert.

Are they eco friendly food takeaway packaging?
Yes. This is an important consideration when choosing a street food box as consumers care about eco-friendly packaging. For starters, these boxes are made in the UK reducing carbon footprint compared to imported products.
The brown disposable food containers are compostable and biodegradable and the white takeaway boxes are only recyclable. We have included them on the same product page as they share the same manufacture, construction and sizing.
The biodegradable food boxes are the most popular brown catering boxes in the range.
The white takeaway food containers are PE lined and are only recyclable through specific recycling facilities in the UK.
What colours are the cardboard food boxes available in?
We have brown food boxes and white food boxes available to buy in varying sizes. The most popular colour is brown kraft food containers which are compostable.
Are the food boxes with lids?
Yes! The lids are integrated into the takeaway box design. They have a flap on each side of the box which folds shut and a folding lock hook clasp to secure them. The lid helps protect the food and gives a level of heat retention, however, the disposable box for food does not have a leakproof lid and doesn't provide an airtight seal.
What food can you put in leak proof food carton?
Fast food, oily food, chicken curry, cold food, salads, rice to name a few but truly there is very little types of food you can't put in these kraft food deli boxes.
We would not recommend the containers for liquid only serving such as sauce portions or soup servings, these are not suitable paper food boxes for that.
Do you stock takeaway food containers and when can I have them delivered?
We are one of the largest online suppliers of brown takeaway boxes in the UK and we deliver to England, Scotland & Wales. We deliver 6 days a week Monday to Saturday and if you order by 7 pm we will dispatch same day for next-day delivery.
How can I buy leak-proof cartons?
Easy! You can order online and you don't need a Kitchen Club account either. If you wish you can checkout as a guest although the best prices are for those customers that create an account with us and you will automatically be given lower prices than our standard trade prices.
We accept all major debit and credit cards, including Visa, Maestro and American Express. We also offer PayPal payments.
