Cardboard Salad Containers

Not every salad needs a plastic tub. Our cardboard salad containers cover hinged laminated trays and kraft paper boxes with a clear viewing window, giving delis, cafés and sandwich shops a paper-based alternative for cold food that still lets customers see what they're buying before it's sealed shut.

About Our Cardboard Salad Containers

Paper-based packaging brings a different look and feel to a salad counter than clear plastic tubs. Our hinged laminated tray folds shut in one motion for quick counter service, while the kraft paper rectangular box uses a cut-out window so the contents stay visible without needing a fully clear container. Both suit cold food, and the kraft box is rated for hot food too, giving it some flexibility beyond salads alone.

These are aimed at businesses wanting to reduce reliance on clear plastic without giving up product visibility altogether, whether that's a deli building a more paper-forward range or a café adding a premium-feeling option for higher-priced salad lines.

FAQs

What customer ask for!

1. Are cardboard salad containers recyclable?

Yes, the containers in this range are recyclable, and the Kraft Paper Rectangular Food Box is also compostable, giving a lower-impact option compared with standard plastic salad tubs.

2. Can these containers hold hot food as well as cold?

The kraft paper box with a window is designed for both hot and cold food, while the hinged laminated tray is generally better suited to cold items like salads and sandwiches.

3. What's the benefit of a window in a food box over a fully clear container?

A window lets the customer see the food without the whole container needing to be clear plastic, which suits businesses wanting a more paper-forward look at the counter while keeping the product visible.

4. How do these compare to plastic salad bowls?

Cardboard options give a paper-based, often more sustainable alternative, while our Somoplast salad bowls offer full clear-plastic visibility and a snap-fit lid — the right choice depends on whether visibility or material matters more for your business.

5. Can I order these in bulk for my café or deli?

Yes, all products are supplied in bulk case quantities at trade pricing, with next-day UK delivery across London and the M25.
