Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Lunch Pot," a popular lunch spot in central Manchester, was looking to move away from single-use plastics to better reflect their brand's commitment to fresh, wholesome ingredients. They needed a sturdy, microwavable, and  eco-friendly container for their signature soups and  stews.

"Our customers instantly noticed the switch. We've had so much positive feedback on the new cups – they love that they're recyclable and  they just look and  feel so much better than our old plastic ones. They're strong, they don't leak, and  they make our food look fantastic."

Robert Finch – Owner, The Lunch Pot

Since switching to the Colpac cups, The Lunch Pot has seen a noticeable increase in positive customer comments regarding their packaging and  has reduced their plastic waste by over 80%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Storage and  Best Use

  • Keep the sleeves of cups in a cool, dry storeroom to prevent moisture damage.
  • Store them away from strong odours, as paperboard can absorb smells.
  • Make sure you have the correct lids (FA367) ready and  accessible for fast service.
  • Gently separate cups from the stack to avoid damaging the rims.

Serving and  Handling Tips

  • Avoid filling right to the very top to leave space for the lid and  prevent spills.
  • When handing to customers, advise them to hold the cup from the middle, not the rim.
  • Ensure the lid is pressed down firmly all the way around to create a proper seal.
  • Advise customers to place the cup on a flat surface before removing the lid.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Takeaway Containers

Not sure which container is right for your menu? Here are a few things to think about.

Material Matters

Consider your brand image. Kraft paperboard offers an eco-friendly, rustic look, while plastic might be better for cold foods or if you need a fully transparent option.

Lid Security is Key

A leaky container is a recipe for a bad review. Look for containers with rolled edges and  matching, tight-fitting lids. Vented lids are a must for hot food to prevent pressure build-up.

Match the Size to the Portion

Using a container that’s too big makes portions look small and  wastes money. These 8oz cups are perfect for standard soup servings, but check your menu and  portion sizes first.

Hot or Cold?

Ensure your chosen container is rated for the food you're serving. These cups are great for hot, microwavable dishes, but other foods might need different solutions.

Think About Branding

A plain kraft container is a blank canvas! They are perfect for adding your own branded stickers or stamps to promote your business with every sale.

A: Lids are sold separately to give you flexibility. The compatible lids for these cups are product code FA367.

A: They are made from paperboard and  are widely recyclable. However, they should be empty and  relatively clean. Check with your local commercial waste provider for specific guidance.

Why a 'Microwavable' Paper Cup is a Big Deal

Ever wondered what makes these microwavable soup containers 225ml different from a standard paper cup? It's all in the construction. These aren't just made of any paper; they use a specific grade of paperboard with a lining that's engineered to withstand microwave heat safely. This means it won't go soggy, weaken, or, most importantly, leach any unwanted chemicals into the food when it's being reheated.

Think of it like this: you wouldn't put a normal dinner plate in the oven, you'd use an oven-proof dish. It's the same principle. These cups are the 'oven-proof' version for the microwave, giving your customers a safe and  easy way to enjoy their food piping hot, exactly as you intended.
