Takeaway Containers for Dunedin
37 Dunedin operators already order from us — here's what they're putting their food in.
Dunedin runs on takeaway. Campus cafes, late-night spots on George Street, fish and chip shops down the peninsula — they all need containers that don't fall apart before the customer gets home. We stock leak-resistant options in PP, bagasse, and kraft, sized from 500ml up to 1250ml.
Orders placed before 4pm on a business day ship the same day on stocked lines. No drama, no chasing couriers.
What we actually stock
Four products in this range, ready to go:
- F4229 — BioCane Takeaway Tray 500ml 180x124x42mm. Bagasse. 500 per carton. Good for hot food, compostable.
- F1855 — Biopak Rectangular Container 500ml 300 per carton. Pairs with the RPET lid below.
- F1856 — RPET Lid to Suit Biopak Rectangular Container 500ml 300 per carton. Recycled PET, clear, snaps on firm.
- F2507 — Brown Takeaway Box Medium 127x107x64mm. Kraft. 200 per carton. Handles saucy mains without the soggy bottom situation.
All four are stackable. All four have a leak-resistant seal. If you're reheating or freezing, check the individual product spec — PP and bagasse handle it, kraft does not.
Right for Dunedin's trade mix
A big chunk of Dunedin's hospitality trade is student-driven. That means high volume, tight margins, and customers who are carrying their food across campus or back to a flat. Your containers need to travel. The BioCane tray and the Biopak rectangular work well for rice dishes, noodles, and anything saucy. The kraft box is better for drier food — think chips, fried chicken, or a burger meal deal.
If you're running a sustainable story for your café or restaurant, the bagasse and RPET options give you something real to point to — not just a green sticker on a plastic box.
Materials at a glance
PP (Polypropylene) — microwave-safe, freezer-safe, durable. Good for meal prep and delivery.
Bagasse — made from sugarcane pulp. Compostable. Handles hot food well. The BioCane tray (F4229) is this material.
Kraft — recycled-look brown board. Not for wet food long-term, but solid for dry and semi-dry dishes. The F2507 box is kraft.
Pick the material that matches your food, not just your aesthetic.
