Mexican Takeaway Packaging for Wellington Operators
Burritos leak, guac oxidises, and your Friday queue doesn't slow down — get packaging that keeps up.
Wellington runs on good food and not much space. If you're running a taqueria or burrito bar in the capital, you already know the margins are tight and the customers are fussy. Your packaging has to work as hard as you do.
We supply Mexican-focused operators across Wellington with takeaway containers, salad bowls, deli containers, and more. Two Wellington kitchens are already ordering through us. If you're not one of them yet, here's what we stock.
The Packaging a Mexican Kitchen Actually Needs
A burrito bowl needs a container deep enough to hold the layers without turning into a mess by the time it hits the customer's hands. A taco order needs something with a bit of structure. Salsas and guac need tight-sealing deli containers that don't pop open in a bag.
We stock the formats that cover the bases:
- Takeaway containers — for burrito bowls, loaded fries, and combo plates.
- Salad bowls — good for fresh builds, poke-style Mexican bowls, and anything with a lid that actually closes.
- Deli containers — for house-made salsas, guac, sour cream, and sauces sold separately or packed on the side.
- Burger boxes — if your menu runs quesadillas or smash-style taco burgers that need a clamshell.
Wellington's Food Scene is Compact — Your Storage Should Be Too
Most Wellington hospo sites are not big. The kitchen is tight, the dry store is tighter. Flat-stack designs and carton-friendly sizing matter more here than in a sprawling suburban food court.
Everything we stock is designed to nest or flat-stack. You're not buying packaging that takes up half your prep bench. Carton quantities are set for operators, not supermarket buyers — so you're not sitting on six months of stock in a hallway.
Ordering and Dispatch
Order before 4pm on a NZ business day and stocked lines go out the same day. That matters on a Thursday when you've just realised you're short on containers heading into the weekend.
We're a wholesale distributor, so pricing is volume-based. The more you order, the better the rate. If you're just getting started, talk to us about minimum order quantities — we'd rather get you set up right than have you order the wrong thing.
Sustainability Options
Compostable and recycled-fibre options are available across most of our container formats. If your Mexican concept is positioned around sustainability — or your Wellington customers are asking questions about packaging at the counter — we can point you at the right materials.
We don't inflate the claims. If a product is certified compostable, we'll say so. If it's just recycled-content board, we'll say that instead.
Frequently asked
What size takeaway containers work best for burrito bowls?+
A 32oz or 36oz round container handles a full burrito bowl build without everything compressing together. Check our takeaway containers page for the sizes we have in stock.
Do you stock containers with lids that seal properly for sauces and guac?+
Yes. Our deli containers have snap-on lids designed to stay closed in a bag. They're the right call for salsas, guac, sour cream, and anything wet that travels separately.
Can I get custom printed packaging with my logo?+
Custom print is available on selected lines with minimum order quantities. Lead times are longer than stocked lines, so plan ahead. Contact us to discuss what's possible for your volume.
How quickly can I get an order in Wellington?+
Stocked lines ordered before 4pm on a NZ business day dispatch same day. Delivery timeframes depend on courier, but Wellington is well-serviced. We don't promise specific delivery windows — that's on the courier once it leaves us.
Do you offer compostable packaging for Mexican takeaway?+
Yes, compostable options are available across several container formats. If that's a requirement for your operation or your council, let us know and we'll match you to the right product.
What's the minimum order quantity?+
It varies by product. Most lines are sold by the carton. Get in touch and we'll give you straight numbers based on what you need.
