Tale of the Sizzling Beast: Grillzilla

Who are Grillzilla?

Grillzilla began its journey in the heart of Derby city center in 2015, bringing people together over delightful piri piri chicken, burgers, wraps, and American-style fried chicken. More than just a place to dine, Grillzilla is a warm haven where freshly roasted coffee and delicious cake are lovingly served too.

With open doors and even wider hearts, Grillzilla warmly welcomes couples,  families, and large groups, ensuring there’s something special for everyone to enjoy.

How we came to work with Grillzilla 

Thanks to trusty Google, the founder of Grillzilla discovered us while looking for branded coffee cups online. They requested four different sizes of double-wall cups with their logo and decided to kick things off with a small production run to see how they’d go.

Initially, things didn’t go as planned—there was a little blunder at the factory, and the artwork ended up looking like it had a bake-off with Picasso. But hey, who hasn’t had those days, right? We believe it’s all about how you bounce back! The moment we caught wind of the mix-up, we sprang into action and whipped up a fresh batch of cups in less than 3 days, and it goes without saying, this didn’t cost Grillzilla a penny more.

It’s not just about cups!

In the past few years, Grillzilla has become quite the cup connoisseur, slurping up more of our branded beauties than ever. And guess what? We’ve been slicing down those unit costs (you won’t find any devious price hikes here!).

But, we don’t stop at coffee cups! We make sure Grillzilla is all set with everything they need for takeaways and deliveries. From custom-sized tubs, bags, boxes, and greaseproof paper to greaseproof chip bags—each one crafted to perfectly fit their delicious platters, burgers, fried chicken and more.

What sets Takeaway Packaging apart, you ask?

Well, let’s talk about those chicken boxes. We teamed up with Grillzilla to craft 4 sizes of custom boxes that keep your food sizzling hot without turning it into a soggy mess. Think of them as the superheroes of packaging—embossed and printed with flair! With a little help from our in-house design wizardry, we whipped up artwork that complements their logo like Grillzilla’s hot sauce does their chicken tenders.  These boxes were put through their paces, and Grillzilla is absolutely thrilled with them, so we were excited when they asked us to create another range of sizes!

Let’s not forget to mention their bags! From a lineup of grab bags in all shapes and sizes to a family-sized takeaway bag flaunting a bold red twisted handle. This bag’s got muscles—strong enough to haul even the most ambitious of takeaways without batting an eyelid! 

We all need a little extra

On top of taking care of their packaging needs, we gave Grillzilla a hand when they faced a storage hiccup. Now, we keep all their stock safe and sound in our facilities, and they trust us to keep an eye on when it’s time to cook up the next batch of packaging. All Grillzilla has to do is give us a shout when they need a delivery, and we’ll have it zooming up the M1 by the very next day!

How has packaging from Takeaway Packaging helped Grillzilla?

Grillzilla’s snazzy packaging has been a smash hit with their customers, giving their brand a high-five, keeping the food hot and scrumptious, AND it’s crafted from 100% recyclable materials—making it a breeze for customers to part with responsibly. They’ve even snagged some rave reviews about their eco-friendly style. Talk about wrapping things up nicely!

What Grillzilla has to say:

“From the Beginning I was lucky enough to deal directly with Tina she was really helpful and understanding, for us it was our first time with branded packaging, but not to worry we were in safe hands, thanks to Takeaway Packaging we were offered advice and help at every stage, even though we had to change our mind few times they were understanding and adaptable to Grillzilla needs. This was our best marketing investment since we opened, now we are confident in our product presentation and quality.

This is only the beginning, we as a brand want to take our takeaway business to a different level, with Takeaway Packaging’s help we hope to see Grillzilla a national brand and great British start-up story that goes worldwide” – Grillzilla
