Paper packaging

Paper food container manufacturer

Paper food packaging that survives hot coffee, oily food and the EU documentation requirement at the same time. The coating choice decides whether the container is recyclable in your market's collection stream, so we quote coating options side by side rather than one default.

What we supply

Single-wall and double-wall hot cups, cold cups and ice-cream cups
Paper bowls and soup containers, with or without lids
Takeaway boxes, burger clamshells and chip cartons
Sushi, salad and deli trays with food-grade paperboard or plant-fibre bases
Cup lids, sleeves and carriers as a matched set
Custom printed service-ware for restaurant chains and delivery brands

Materials and structures

Food-grade paperboard with PE coating, PLA (bio-based) coating or aqueous barrier coating; bagasse and other plant-fibre containers as an alternative construction. We state which coating is used, because it determines recyclability, heat tolerance, and what your importer declares under PPWR.

Structure

Grease and moisture resistance come from the liner or coating; it is the coated surface that decides whether the pack is recyclable in the intended market.

Printing, artwork and finishing

Flexo and offset printing with food-safe inks, up to full-colour coverage; print areas are kept clear of the lip and rim where contact with the mouth and food occurs. Send the beverage or food type, service temperature and holding time — the coating and wall thickness follow from those three answers.

Where it is used

Coffee shops, cafés and bakeries
Quick-service restaurants and delivery kitchens
Ice cream and dessert brands
Supermarkets and convenience stores
Catering and events

Compliance documents that come with the order

Declaration of Conformity (DoC) — issued against EU 1935/2004 and, for plastics, EU 10/2011, naming the material and the intended food contact conditions.
Material composition sheet — every layer, its material code and grammage, so your importer can register the packaging and complete PPWR documentation.
Migration / food contact test reports — from accredited third-party laboratories (SGS, TÜV, Intertek or equivalent), on request.
Recyclability statement — design-level statement of whether the structure is mono-material, how it sorts in EU collection streams, and what limits recyclability if it is multilayer.
Declaration on heavy metals and substances of concern — covering the sum-of-concentration limits under EU 94/62/EC (as amended).

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide the compliance documents my EU importer needs?

Yes. Every order ships with a Declaration of Conformity, a material composition sheet and a recyclability statement; migration test reports from accredited laboratories are provided on request. Under PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025/40) your importer must be able to produce technical documentation within 10 days of a market surveillance request, so we prepare the file before the goods leave the production site.

What is the minimum order quantity?

It depends on the structure and the printing process — rotogravure, flexo, offset and digital runs all start at different quantities. Send us the item, size, quantity and artwork status and we confirm the exact MOQ together with the quotation, in writing.

Can you supply samples before production?

Yes. We first provide a plain or white-sample mock-up so you can check dimensions against your filling line, then a printed proof of your artwork. Sampling time depends on whether the structure is stock or bespoke — we confirm the dates with the quotation.

How do you work with buyers who have never sourced from China?

Four steps: you send the specification, we return a quotation with lead times and documents, we produce pre-production samples for approval, and we ship with the full document pack. You get a named contact, weekly production reports and photos at each stage — no surprises at the port.
