Fish & Chip Packaging for Dunedin Takeaways
Otago's cold nights and hungry students don't wait — your packaging shouldn't either.
We already supply 37 Dunedin food businesses, and a good chunk of them are slinging fish and chips out a service window. The packaging needs are simple: hold the heat, soak up minimal grease, and not fall apart by the time someone gets to the waterfront.
We stock boxes, seafood bags, and chip containers that do exactly that. No fuss, no minimum order theatre — just cartons ready to go.
The boxes that handle a full scoop
The F1828 Fish & Chip Box Large is 250 x 150 x 90mm — big enough for a proper serving of fish, chips, and a bit of breathing room. Sold in cartons of 250. It's the workhorse of a Friday night service and it doesn't buckle under a hot pile of battered blue cod.
If you're running a counter that does volume, buying by the carton keeps your cost-per-unit sensible and your storeroom stocked through a busy week of campus trade.
Seafood bags for the whole fish crowd
Not every order fits in a box. For whole fish or shellfish, we stock two options.
- B9726 Seafood / Shellfish Bags 3kg — comes as 4 rolls of 500 per carton. Handy roll format, quick to grab mid-service.
- RB9727 Whole Fish Seafood Bag Natural — 600 x 100 x 300mm, 900 per carton. Sized for a whole snapper or a big piece of gurnard without wrestling it in.
Both are straightforward, functional bags. They do the job without any ceremony.
Dunedin: the market that actually turns over stock
A student city means concentrated trade in small pockets — North Dunedin, the Octagon precinct, the hospital end of town. Volume spikes hard on Thursday through Saturday nights. That means you need packaging on the shelf before the rush, not on order during it.
Orders placed before 4pm on a business day on stocked lines ship same day. For a Dunedin shop running lean on storage, that matters.
Ordering in bulk without the bulk headache
Carton quantities are designed for takeaway operators, not supermarket chains. 250 boxes per carton, 900 whole-fish bags per carton — these numbers suit a busy independent shop, not a warehouse with a forklift.
If you're running a smaller operation or a food truck doing the campus circuit, check our full range of takeaway containers and deli containers for smaller-format options that sit alongside your fish and chip boxes.

Our catalogue is structured around carton quantities. If full cartons are more than you need right now, have a look at our broader takeaway and deli container range — there may be options that suit a smaller operation.
