  • Standout Design: The newspaper print is a classic look that really elevates simple takeaway food.
  • Best for Dry Foods: Lacks a greaseproof lining, so not ideal for heavily sauced items.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

'The Salty Cod', a popular chippy in the busy seaside town of Whitby, wanted to reduce their plastic waste and  respond to customer demand for more sustainable options. They switched from polystyrene trays to these Colpac newspaper print chip cones.

"Our customers, especially the tourists, kept asking what we were doing to be more green. These cones were the perfect answer. They look brilliant, hold a good portion of chips, and  our landfill waste has dropped significantly. They just fit our traditional seaside vibe perfectly."

David Chen – Owner

The business now proudly advertises its eco-friendly packaging, contributing to a 15% increase in positive online reviews mentioning their commitment to sustainability.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Use & Storage

  • Keep the flat-packed boxes in a dry, cool storeroom to prevent any moisture damage.
  • Store away from strong-smelling foods or chemicals to keep them perfectly fresh.
  • Simply squeeze the sides to pop the cone open just before serving – it takes a second!
  • Stack a small number of pre-opened cones during peak times to speed up your workflow.

Disposal & Best Practice

  • Let customers know they can be placed in paper recycling bins or general waste, where they will biodegrade.
  • Use a small sign on your counter to shout about your eco-friendly packaging choice.
  • Avoid overfilling to prevent spills and  ensure a great, mess-free customer experience.
  • Remember they are best for dry foods like chips, wedges, or popcorn.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Takeaway Containers

Not sure what packaging fits your menu best? Here’s a quick guide to making the right choice for your business.

Consider Your Green Credentials

Eco-friendly materials like these eco friendly takeaway food containers are a huge selling point. Customers appreciate businesses that care about their environmental impact.

Match the Food to the Container

Is your food wet or dry? Greasy or not? Cones are perfect for chips and  dry snacks, while you might need lidded boxes for curries or saucy dishes.

Think About Portion Size

Offering consistent portions is key to happy customers. Choose a container size, like these 183mm biodegradable cones, that matches your pricing and  expectations.

What’s the Customer Experience?

Is it easy to hold and  eat from? A cone is a classic, one-handed solution that’s perfect for customers on the move at markets or by the seaside.

Storage is Everything

Short on space? Flat-packed items like these Colpac CE230 chip cones are an absolute lifesaver for small kitchens, food trucks, and  pop-up stalls.

Does it Look Good?

Presentation matters! A unique design, like the retro newspaper print on these cones, can make your food more memorable and  'Instagrammable'.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these cones supplied ready to use?

A: They are supplied flat to save a huge amount of storage space and  can be popped open in seconds when you're ready to serve.

Q: What are they made from?

A: They're made from pulpboard, which is a natural, paper-based material derived from wood pulp.

Q: Can these be recycled?

A: Yes, absolutely. They can be placed in standard paper and  card recycling streams, provided they aren't heavily soiled with grease.

Q: Are they suitable for wet foods?

A: They are designed primarily for dry foods like chips, churros, or crepes. They aren't leakproof, so we wouldn't recommend them for very wet items with lots of sauce.

Q: What does 'biodegradable' actually mean?

A: It means the material is capable of being decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms, breaking down into organic matter over time without harming the environment.

Q: Is the newspaper print food-safe?

A: Yes, completely. The inks and  the pulpboard material used are all certified as safe for direct contact with food.

A: The 183mm size is designed to hold a generous single portion of chips, making it great value for customers.

Q: How many cones are in a pack?

A: Each pack contains 1,000 cones, making them a cost-effective choice for busy establishments.

What 'Biodegradable' Really Means for Your Business

Ever wondered about the real difference between 'recyclable' and  'biodegradable'? Think of it like this: recycling gives materials a second life, but they need to be collected and  processed correctly. These biodegradable paper chip cones go a step further. Made from pulpboard, a natural plant-based material, they are designed to break down naturally with the help of microorganisms, returning to the earth without leaving harmful residues. For your business, this means offering customers a truly 'zero-guilt' takeaway option that aligns with modern values and  reduces your environmental footprint, even if the cone doesn't make it into a recycling bin.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Traditional Fish & Chip Shops: Serve up your classic portions with a nostalgic and  eco-friendly twist that customers will love.
  • Street Food Vendors: Perfect for fast-paced service at markets, offering quick assembly and  easy disposal for customers on the go.
  • Event & Festival Caterers: Stock up on these space-saving, disposable paper food cones for large crowds, minimising clean-up and  waste.
  • Takeaway Cafés & Kiosks: Ideal for serving snacks like churros or sweet crepes in a fun, grab-and-go format that stands out.
