Here are the basics that you need:
Tip: Running a cafe takes a big investment in both time and money, so it’s essential to decide upfront how you’re going to serve your customers.
Biodegradable and Compostable Lunch Boxes
Say hello to our best-selling biodegradable packaging! This eco lunch box is made from paddy straw in Malaysia. Without any layer of plastic, the thickness of the lunch box makes packing an effortless task. The brown lunch box has been gaining positive reviews for 10 years and it is the best choice for festivals too. From packing rice for Thaipusam and St Anne’s to a hearty nasi lemak, as a briyani container and fried rice packaging, it has been excellent.
People Love Switching to Eco Friendly Packaging
You may want to cut costs with plastic lunch boxes, however, that would be a backfire. Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) also encouraged using eco packaging, featuring our bio plates and lunch boxes. Customers would appreciate your efforts in doing what is best for health and nature. Check out the poll results below.
Those looking to use the most premium disposable lunch box, check out our compostable lunch boxes. Fine dining restaurants and cafes with premium items such as lamb shank, lobster and grilled meats get strong, sustainable and leakproof containers.

Compartment Lunch Boxes
If you don’t have a set meal or Western food on the menu, this are the takeaway boxes for you.
Choose either 2 compartment lunch box or 3 compartment lunch box only. Do not get both as it’s fairly unnecessary. If you are serving two proteins, get the 3 compartment box. If only 1 protein, 2 compartment disposable lunch box shall get the job done. Quite often, salad do not require a separate compartment.
Paper Burger Box
Even if you don’t have burgers on the menu, it is wise to get a packet of two of paper burger box.
So when paper lunch boxes serve adults, the burger packaging box gets the job done for the kids menu.
Among the dishes that our customers serve are dumplings, takoyaki, white rice and potato wedges.

Biodegradable Bowls or Paper Bowls
Once again, only choose one.
Biodegradable bowls are ideal for dine in and for take away, just place a catering foil on top.
If you prefer a paper bowl with lid, we have them too. Only get a lid if you are serving soup or gravy. Items like meatballs, fried potatoes, takoyaki and macaroni don’t require a lid.
Customers can carry them as it is or place tightly in a paper bag. Covering fried items with lid tends to make the dishes soggy.

Disposable Wooden Cutlery
No food packaging set is complete without disposable cutlery. Use sturdy, eco-friendly and eye-catching fork and spoon to ensure customers have a pleasant experience.
Because the last thing you want is a disposable spoon or fork that snaps easily.
To be more cost efficient, do not always provide the entire cutlery. Spaghettis and noodles do not see a need for wooden spoon, while disposable fork is not essential to fried rice.

The common cold cup size that you see in Mcdonalds, KFC and most drink kiosks is 16oz paper cup. For those jumbo drinks or with toppings, a 22oz paper cup is what you need. Do add on paper straws.

Brown Paper Bags
Large paper bag is suitable for lunch boxes without compartments.
For 3 compartment lunch box, opt for extra large paper bag and paper bag with handle.
If you are serving fries and snacks, use food grade paper bag. Don’t need to put it in a box then place it in a paper bag. This is a cost-efficient move.
Tip: Do not stock up on too many sizes of paper bags. 2 to 3 should be maximum.
