Shoal in Winchester came to us needing customised twisted-handle paper bags and specialised fish and chip boxes to keep their tasty fish and chips in prime condition for their customers.
Shoal is a vibrant and trendy seafood restaurant located in the heart of Winchester, with a focus on serving fresh and sustainable seafood. The menu features a diverse selection of dishes inspired by coastal cuisine, showcasing the best of local and seasonal ingredients. Using ethically and responsibly sourced fish, Shoal wanted to extend their commitment to sustainability by investing in eco-friendly fish and chips packaging.
Our twisted-handle paper bags are made from 80% recycled materials and are completely compostable after use. We’ve revolutionised the traditional cardboard pizza box design by using virgin Kraft paper on the inside of our fish and chip boxes. This approach ensures that our boxes are food grade and safe for direct contact with food. Plus, this design enhances grease resistance, as the tighter-packed fibres in the paper make it a lot harder for the grease to penetrate the box.
Offsetting dark blue on white is a simple way of making contrasting colours stand out. The tails of the fish combined with coral and seaweed floating between gives a natural feel — a nice reference to Shoal’s dedication to selecting responsibly-sourced and seasonal fish.
Custom branding like this is a worthwhile investment as it advertises your product, which will drive sales. Spread the word through compelling designs, solidifying brand consistency and tempting new customers to buy from you.
Mór Bakehouse is a bakery, deli and coffee shop, based in the heart of Edinburgh. With 3 deli’s around the city, this bakery pride themselves on their homemade pasties, pies, sausage rolls and freshly made wraps and baguettes, and we’ve heard they take their coffee pretty seriously too – serving their own artisan blend from local coffee roasters.
What Packaging Does a Deli & Bakery Need?
With a diverse range of food and drink available for takeaway and delivery services like Deliveroo and Just Eat – Mór Bakehouse need a variety of packaging to keep their food fresh and easy to eat from while on the go. Let’s dive in and take a look:
Coffee Cups:
Coffee Cups are a given essential for any coffee shop, choosing to brand them is a clever, low cost way to introduce branded packaging to your business. Ordering is easy, delivery is fast and the quality of our sustainable cups is second to none.
White or black eco-friendly lids can be chosen to blend in with any style.
Greaseproof Paper:
Mór Bakehouse use branded greaseproof paper to line trays for sweet and savory delights and to wrap other other items for takeout like toasties, burgers and muffins!
Branded greaseproof paper is another fast and effective way to showcase your brand both in store and when selling take-outs.
Stickers
Branded stickers can be used to unify your off the shelf packaging and are often a great starting point for small businesses looking to implement branded items.
Stickers are so versatile, they can be applied to cups, bowls, sandwich bags, takeout bags and food containers.
Greaseproof Bags
Greaseproof bags are a convenient way to dish up freshly baked goods, hot pasties or warm baguettes.
Minimum order quantities are higher than the products above but these are cost-effective when ordered in bulk and are a great marketing tool for your business.
Kraft Bowls
Kraft bowls are perfect for serving up Mór Bakehouse’s selection of fresh and healthy pasta and salads.
Kraft bowls look stylish on their own, but even better printed with the Mór Bakehouse logo, which ties in with the rest of their takeaway packaging perfectly.
How Takeaway Packaging Has Helped Mór Bakehouse
Mór Bakehouse approached us about a year ago looking for some branded packaging. We gave them competitive prices and fast delivery on eco-friendly products like branded paper cups and printed greaseproof paper.
We now supply a whole range of branded and non-branded packaging and have been able to meet the needs of their growing business.
At Takeaway Packaging we offer a broad spectrum of low cost, low volume branded options, a wide range of keenly priced off the shelf packaging and competitive unit costs for high-volume branded food and drink packaging.
If you’re making burgers made from fully traceable grass fed beef, you’re going to want to shout about it – so why not use your packaging to do just that?
With mouthwatering burgers, sides and irresistible milkshakes on offer, Marlowe’s were ready to take the ‘beef’ by the horns with a new range of branded cups, take out bags, greaseproof paper, food containers and colourfull labels, all of which now proudly tell us a little bit more about Marlowe’s.
Everyone knows the value of adding a logo to your takeaway bags or coffee cups, BUT your food and drinks packaging is a blank canvas and ready for much more than that!
Marlowe’s have cleverly used their packaging to reinforce key messages about their food and encourage customer engagement through social media – a great way to keep their patrons interested and remind them what they’re missing.

We thought we would go back a couple years and take a look at a burger and chip box that we create for a London advertising agency. They asked us to produce a couple of promotional cartons for Ferrari’s 70th Anniversary celebrations. Ferrari were looking for a chip carton to hold some polenta chips and also mini burger box to take a hamburger.
These cartons weredigitally printed to the highest standard on a 500micron folding box board. We can supply folding display cartons in both standard and food grade materials and we are BRC certified for the storage of food & non-food grade packaging. In this case the cartons were to be lined with grease proof paper, which we can also provide in plain or printed with the clients own branding.
This job was produced to a very tight deadline with dates that could not be moved due to the cartons being required at a specific event. In many cases advertising agencies work with short lead times for their projects. In these cases we will always do everything in our power to meet these deadlines, delivering your boxes on time, every time.
We had the artwork guidelines and the Ferrari logo’s sent to us and for a small additional fee we created a number of artwork and colour variations for Ferrari to choose from.
Within 7 days these promotional printed cartons were designed, die cut, printed, hand glued and delivered in time for the event. All thanks to the expert knowledge and flexibility of our digital manufacturing unit.

We created a 4oz Single Wall Cup, a 3oz Ice Cream Tub and an 8oz Double Wall Cup, all of which are PLA material, making them fully recyclable and compostable. PLA stands for polylactic acid and it is a vegetable-based plastic material consisting of renewable materials. We were given three different sets of artwork for each product made, which is they there ids a slight difference in colour.
How long did it take to produce?
All three of these products were created in 20 days and have a minimum order of 1,000 units (when branding them) and the turnaround time is 2-3 weeks. So if you are interested in creating your own branded packaging then give us a call 01753 655344 or email us at [email protected].
Was the customer happy with the final product?
They were extremely
happy as we were able to create the goods within a short amount of time and we
were able to ship them to Cannes with plenty of time to spare.
Working as a packaging company we work with so many different customer’s, but we never thought an energy company would need Ice Cream Tubs! Did you? We were shocked at first but at the end of the day we are here to help anyone looking for branded packaging, so if you are looking for some, then give us a call.
How long did these tubs take to make?
These tubs had a very small
turn around time, once we have artwork the tubs were delivered within 2 weeks
and were made in time for their deadline. This was an order for 1,000 tubs
which is our minimum order for branded tubs.
Was the customer satisfied with the tubs?
Yes, they were delighted and
they left us a review on Facebook expressing
their happines. It said “Great service and fast delivery! Will definitely order
from them again!” Our aim is to match our customers initial ideas to the best
we can. This was one of many occasions where we achieved this goal.

We have been working alongside the Royal Trust Collection to create a unique PLA ice cream tub to be given out in their wonderful ice cream trucks. This has been an ongoing project, and we are so pleased with the outcome and wanted to share it with all of you.
What are the tubs made of?
The ice cream tubsare made of PLA material, making them fully recyclable and compostable. PLA stands for polylactic acid and it is a vegetable-based plastic material consisting of renewable materials. However, even though they are PLA they are not shiny, they have a lovely matt finish to them.
Where will I find these tubs?
These tubs are going to be used to serve ice cream from the trucks placed around Windsor Castle and St James’s Palace. There is a 3ozand a5oz ice tub, so you can either have 1 scoop or if you are feeling hungry get 2 or 3 with lots of toppings of course. Our favourite is a strawberry swirl with oreo pieces and white chocolate sauce on top, hmmm!
Who do I contact to create my own tubs?
You can either give us a call or send us an email. We love to create tubs like these or add custom food packaging stickers, the end product makes it all worthwhile. Our tubs are manufactured from heavyweight paperboard and are coated with PE on the interior (but can also be coated on the exterior). PE coating is proven to be an ideal barrier against frost, liquid and condensation. All printed ice cream tubs are produced to your specific requirements. But like the Royal Collection Trust, we can make them in PLA if requested.
So, if you are interested in making your own tubs just like this then give us a call and kick-start your summer with colour-branded ice cream tubs that people will remember!
