Soggy chips lose customers
Delivering crispy food is hard. Standard boxes trap steam, turning fries into mash by the time they reach the customer.

From heat loss to leakage, we know the challenges Irish takeaways face.
Packaging costs are eating margins
Food costs are up. Energy is up. You can't afford to overpay for boxes at the local cash and carry.

Wholesale pricing direct to you
Confused by the plastic ban?
Styrofoam is out. Plastic cutlery is restricted. It's hard to know what is actually legal to use in Ireland right now.
The fix
100% SUP Directive Compliant Range
Your food looks great, your box doesn't
You make gourmet burgers, but send them out in cheap, white foam trays. The packaging should match the price tag.
The fix
Affordable custom branding options
Food arriving cold
Delivery drivers aren't always fast. If your packaging doesn't insulate, the food arrives cold, and you get the bad review.
The fix
Superior heat-retention materials
Running out on Friday night
The weekend rush hits and you realize you're out of burger boxes. Sourcing them last minute costs a fortune.

The Takeaway Packaging Handbook
1The Science of Crispness
The number one complaint in the Irish takeaway industry is soggy food. When hot food is sealed in a container, steam builds up. At PrestoPak, we specialize in vented packaging solutions. Our burger boxes and chip scoops are designed with strategic air holes that allow steam to escape while retaining heat.
2Navigating the Styrofoam Ban
The EU's Single-Use Plastics (SUP) Directive has effectively banned Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). Here are the compliant alternatives:
Bagasse (Sugarcane)
Rigid, insulated, compostable. Best for dry foods / sandwiches.
Kraft Board
Your standard brown paperboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
QDo you sell greaseproof paper that actually works?
Yes. We stock high-grade greaseproof paper (Kit 7+) specifically designed for fast food. It prevents grease spots on bags and keeps customers' hands clean.
QCan I get my logo on burger boxes?
Absolutely. We offer custom printing on burger boxes, pizza boxes, and bags. Minimums start low (from 1,000 units depending on the item), and we offer storage options so you don't need to hold all the stock.
QAre your containers microwave safe?
Our Bagasse (sugarcane) containers and Kraft bowls are microwave safe. However, items with PE lining or plastic windows should generally not be microwaved.
QDo you deliver to residential addresses (home businesses)?
Yes, we support many home-based dark kitchens and prep businesses. As long as the courier can access your location, we deliver.
QWhat is the best packaging for chips?
We recommend vented options. Do not seal chips in an airtight plastic or foam container. Use a scoop inside a paper bag, or a vented cardboard box.
QDo you offer bulk discounts for pallet orders?
Yes. If you are a high-volume takeaway using pallets of pizza boxes or bags, contact us directly for our wholesale tier pricing.
