Section Product Details
Short Description Nostalgic and functional, these N1 Standard Retro Newsprint Compostable Takeaway Boxes (1051ml) bring classic fish and chip shop charm to eco-friendly food packaging. Crafted from sturdy, sustainably sourced paperboard with a compostable plant-based lining, these leakproof food cartons are perfect for hot, greasy, and saucy takeaway items.
Product Overview

Charming Retro Newsprint Design: Deliver a fun, vintage aesthetic that instantly elevates your takeaway presentation. Printing classic newsprint graphics directly onto sustainable paperboard offers all the traditional charm of authentic fish-and-chip shop wrapping without the food safety risks of real newspaper ink.

Advanced Leakproof Security and Heat Retention: Say goodbye to oily stains and leaking delivery bags. Engineered with specialized fold-down webbed corners and lined with an eco-friendly plant-based barrier, these boxes prevent hot gravies, cooking oils, and rich sauces from weeping through the seams while holding heat inside to keep meals piping hot.

Pre-Assembled and Space-Saving: Shipped pre-assembled in space-saving nested packs of 50, these user-friendly cartons require no complex folding before service. The secure tuck-top closure locks shut instantly, allowing kitchen staff to pack and stack orders quickly during busy takeaway rushes.

Key Features & Benefits
  • Vintage Newsprint Print: Food-safe printed newsprint graphics add memorable visual appeal for fish & chip shops, street food stalls, and delis.
  • Leakproof Webbed Corners: Specialized fold design blocks hot gravies, wet sauces, and steam condensation completely.
  • Natural Grease Shield: Plant-based inner lining prevents butter, cooking oils, and fats from staining or weakening the outer card.
  • Heat Retaining Insulation: Dense, heavyweight paperboard wall construction keeps hot takeaways at optimal serving temperatures.
  • 100% Certified Eco-Friendly: Manufactured from sustainable forestry; fully biodegradable and commercially compostable to EN13432 standards.

Storage Guide

Because our takeaway cartons are lined with natural, plant-based materials, basic storage care ensures maximum performance:

  • Keep it Clean & Dry: Protect the paperboard stock from heavy kitchen sink steam, damp storage areas, or wet outdoor event counters.
  • Avoid Heat Sources: Do not store nests directly near boiling water heaters, griddles, or commercial ovens to safeguard the plant-based lining.
  • Shield from Sun: Keep bulk stock inside original shipping boxes to prevent extended UV exposure from drying out the natural fibers.
  • Stack Intact: Store stacks completely flat on clean shelving lines to prevent edge distortion, ensuring quick separation during rapid service rushes.
Technical Specifications
  • Material Base: Sustainable paperboard sourced from certified responsibly managed forests.
  • Internal Barrier: 100% plant-based, moisture-stable compostable lining.
  • Chemical Profile: 100% Petrochemical Plastic-Free, Chlorine-Free, Wax-Free, and Added PFAS-Free.
  • Structural Format: Tuck-top folding closure with leak-proof webbed corner design and retro newsprint print.
  • Certifications: Fully certified biodegradable and commercially compostable to strict British and European EN13432 standards.
Disposal Guide
  • 🟢 Green (Best): Smeared in cooking oils, hot gravies, or leftover food crumbs? Toss the dirty box directly into your commercial organic waste bin for complete composting within 12 weeks.
  • 🟡 Amber (Good): If the carton remains completely clean and dry, it can be sorted directly with standard paper and cardboard recycling streams.
  • 🔴 Red (Okay): If general refuse is your only facility route, these pure organic components degrade naturally in landfills without creating dangerous microplastics.
