Safe and Compliant Materials

Schools must meet strict food safety and hygiene standards. Our packaging materials are food-grade, child-safe, and compliant with all relevant UK regulations. Whether it's sandwich wraps, drink bottles, or snack bags, we make sure every product is non-toxic, leak-proof where needed, and easy to clean or dispose of safely.

We continuously review and update our product lines to meet the latest safety standards, giving schools complete peace of mind. Our food-contact packaging is tested for reliability and safety, so you can focus on providing healthy meals without added concerns.

Built for the School Day


From the jostle of the lunch hall to the rough and tumble of the playground, your packaging needs to stand up to real wear and tear. Our designs are sturdy and reliable, so lunches, drinks, and snacks stay fresh, spill-free, and ready for busy schedules. We offer solutions that are easy for younger students to use too: simple closures, robust carry options, and clear labelling.

A focus on sustainability

We all have a responsibility to reduce our environmental impact. Sustainable packaging helps minimise waste sent to landfills and the environmental harm caused by single-use plastics, whilst also conserving natural resources and reducing the carbon emissions associated with the extraction and processing of raw materials.

By choosing greener packaging, you reinforce environmental values with staff and students alike, and often save on disposal costs. We stock an extensive range of sustainable products to ensure your school sets the standard for future generations.
