Food containers

Food packaging for restaurants, cafés, catering, and takeaway. At Tingstad, you will find packaging for everything from ready meals, salads, and pizza to sushi, burgers, dressings, and desserts. Choose a category based on the type of food being packed, then compare size, volume, material, lids, and temperature properties according to your serving and handling requirements.

Food Packaging for Takeaway and Food Service

Different dishes place different demands on packaging. For complete meals, the assortment includes paper trays, plastic trays, microwave-safe containers, aluminium trays, and Duniform containers, while specialised categories include packaging for burgers, pizza, sushi, and fries.

Start by considering what will be packed and how the food will be handled after packaging. Volume, shape, and compartment count determine how food fits inside, while lids and seals are important for transport.

Packaging for Hot and Cold Food

Food packaging is manufactured from a variety of materials with different properties. Packaging for cold desserts or salads does not necessarily require the same characteristics as containers intended for hot foods, reheating, or oven use.

Always check product specifications regarding temperature resistance, food-contact approval, and suitability for microwave or oven use. These properties vary between both materials and individual products.

Cups, Trays, and Packaging for Smaller Portions

For smaller servings, separate categories are available for deli cups, dressing cups, and dessert cups. The assortment also includes food trays and other packaging formats for ingredients, portion products, and prepared meals.

Choosing the correct volume from the beginning makes it easier to match packaging to portion size and avoid unnecessarily large packaging.

Food Storage and Transport

The category also includes products for other aspects of food handling. Food-grade buckets are suitable for larger quantities and storage, while insulated boxes and transport bags are used when food and beverages need to be transported while maintaining temperature.

For beverages and liquid products, PET bottles are available in a separate subcategory.
