Fish & Chip Packaging for Hamilton Operators
Grease-resistant boxes and sturdy seafood bags, ready to ship to Waikato from stock.
Hamilton's takeaway scene runs hard — suburban shops doing big Friday volumes, uni-area spots feeding students at midnight. Your packaging needs to keep up. Soggy bottoms and burst bags don't cut it.
We currently supply four Hamilton fish and chip operators and we stock everything they reach for most: large chip boxes, shellfish bags, and whole-fish bags. No minimum theatre, no waiting weeks for a container from overseas.
The boxes and bags we stock for fish and chip shops
Three products do most of the heavy lifting in a Kiwi fish and chip shop.
- F1828 Fish & Chip Box Large — 250 x 150 x 90mm, 250 per carton. Big enough for a feed, solid enough to survive the drive home.
- B9726 Seafood / Shellfish Bags 3kg — 4 rolls of 500 per carton. For mussels, pāua, kina, prawns — anything that needs a bag that won't split under weight.
- RB9727 Whole Fish Seafood Bag Natural — 600 x 100 x 300mm, 900 per carton. Sized for a snapper or a gurnard. The natural finish handles moisture without going to pieces.
All three are stocked lines. Order before 4pm on a NZ business day and we dispatch the same day.
Why Hamilton shops reach for these over cheaper alternatives
A flimsy box that collapses when someone stacks their order on the passenger seat costs you more in complaints than it saves per unit. The F1828 holds its shape under a loaded serve of fish, chips, and a potato fritter.
The shellfish bags are rated to 3kg. If you're scooping mussels or doing bulk fish portions, that matters. The whole fish bag is long and narrow by design — no folding, no awkward overhang out the top.
Carton quantities are practical for a busy shop. 250 boxes per carton, 900 whole fish bags per carton. You're not reordering every second week.
Ordering and delivery to Hamilton
We dispatch stocked lines same day when orders are placed before 4pm on NZ business days. Hamilton sits in the Waikato — courier transit from our warehouse is typically next business day, though we don't guarantee that and courier networks have their own ideas sometimes.
You can order online or call us. If you want to talk through quantities or need something not in the standard catalogue, get in touch directly. We already work with operators across the Waikato and we know what the region's busy periods look like.
Keeping the wider shop stocked
Fish and chips is the main event but most shops also need containers for sides, sauces, and combo meals. We stock deli containers and general takeaway containers that pair well with the chip boxes.

Frequently asked
What size is the large fish and chip box?+
The F1828 is 250 x 150 x 90mm and comes 250 to a carton. It's designed for a standard large serve — fish fillet plus a solid scoop of chips.
How many shellfish bags are in a carton?+
The B9726 comes as 4 rolls of 500 bags per carton — that's 2,000 bags total. Rated to 3kg per bag.
Do you do custom printed boxes with our shop name on them?+
Custom print isn't covered on this page — contact us directly to talk through options and minimum quantities. Standard plain stock ships fast; custom runs take longer.
Can I get same-day dispatch to Hamilton?+
Yes, on stocked lines when you order before 4pm on a NZ business day. Transit time to Hamilton after dispatch is typically next business day via courier, but that's the courier's timeline, not ours.
Are the seafood bags suitable for wet or frozen product?+
The B9726 shellfish bags and RB9727 whole fish bags are designed for seafood use and handle moisture. We'd recommend checking specific requirements for frozen storage with us directly if that's your use case.
Do you have smaller fish and chip boxes for kids' meals or snack sizes?+
The current stocked fish and chip box is the large F1828. For smaller serves, our deli containers and takeaway containers can work well — see those pages for sizes and specs.
