Food Grade Containers for Food and Drink
Food and drink containers are the packs UK cafés, retailers and producers use to hold a product for sale or service. This page does not publish a food-contact certificate. Tell Axis Packaging what the container will hold, and any food-contact requirement is confirmed on your quotation together with the size and quantity.
Food and drink uses
Say what is going in the container before a style is chosen. A dry snack, a chilled product and a served meal are different jobs.
Retail and grocery
Brands packing a food or drink product for a shelf need a container that can carry the product name and the information they want printed. Bakery and cake boxes are the related choice for baked goods.
Cafés and service
Takeaway food trays suit meals that are handed over a counter. Food packaging for producers and shops is described on the food industry page.

A typical food-container enquiry
A café packing a cold salad and a producer packing a dry snack should describe the food before asking for a container style. Say whether the customer eats from the pack, carries it home, or puts it on a shelf. If you need a food-contact requirement checked, write that in the enquiry rather than assuming this page has already approved a material. Include the portion size you serve today. Axis Packaging will confirm what can be supplied, the quantity and the timing on the quotation.
