Ordering and payment

Do I need an account to order?

No. You can check out as a guest with just your email and delivery address. An account saves your addresses and lets you see your past orders.

Which payment methods do you accept?

We accept major debit and credit cards through our secure payment providers, and we never see or store your full card number. Wholesale orders are paid as stated on your quote.

Can I change or cancel an order after placing it?

Contact us as soon as possible. We can usually change or cancel an order before it is packed; orders placed before 3pm are dispatched the same working day.

Is there a minimum order value?

No. You can buy a single pack of any product. Larger packs cost less per piece, and 2 or more of the largest pack get 5% off automatically.

Prices, VAT and invoices

Are your prices shown with or without VAT?

All prices on our website include VAT at 20%, so the price you see is the price you pay. Nothing is added at checkout, and your VAT invoice shows the VAT included in each line.

Can I get a VAT invoice?

Yes. A VAT invoice is emailed with every order, showing our company details, each product line, the VAT included and the total. Ask us if you need a copy resent.

How does the 5% multi-pack saving work?

Buy 2 or more of a product’s largest pack and 5% comes off that line in the basket automatically. 250ml and 500ml hinged containers and pizza plates are excluded.

Can I combine the multi-pack saving with wholesale prices?

No. Wholesale prices replace the multi-pack saving, because they are lower on almost every product. Your wholesale quote shows the price for each line.

Delivery and collection

How fast is delivery?

UK mainland orders placed by 3pm, Monday to Friday, are dispatched the same day and usually arrive the next working day. Northern Ireland and remote areas take 2 to 3 days.

Do you deliver to Northern Ireland and the islands?

Yes. Northern Ireland costs £4.50 and listed remote postcodes £3.00 per order, including VAT. We cannot deliver to Jersey, Guernsey or BFPO addresses.

Samples and wholesale

How many free samples can I request?

Up to two products per request, with 5 to 10 pieces of each. You pay delivery only: £3.00 to UK mainland, £7.20 elsewhere, including VAT.

What counts towards the 50-box wholesale minimum?

Any full box, meaning the largest pack of a product, counts. You can mix plates, bowls, cups, bags and cutlery in any combination on one pallet.

Materials and food safety

What is bagasse?

Bagasse is the fibre left after juice is pressed from sugarcane. It is pulped and moulded under heat into rigid plates, bowls and boxes that handle hot, wet food.

Can bagasse plates and bowls go in the microwave?

Yes, for reheating food for a few minutes. Bagasse is not suitable for a conventional oven or grill. Check each product page for its own heat guidance.

Are your products safe for hot and oily food?

Our bagasse, kraft and food containers are made for direct food contact. Each product page says whether it suits hot, cold, oily or liquid food.

Is your plastic cutlery single-use?

No. Our clear and black plastic cutlery is reusable and can be washed and used again. Our clear cutlery is dishwasher safe on the top rack.

Disposal and the law

Are bagasse plates compostable?

Yes, in industrial composting. Our round and pizza bagasse plates are certified to ASTM D6400 and D6868, and our 5-compartment plates to EN 13432. Check your local collection rules.

Can I put used paper cups in household recycling?

Most councils do not accept lined paper cups in household recycling. Many coffee shops and supermarkets offer cup collection points. Check your local council’s guidance.

Which plastic items are banned in England?

Since 1 October 2023, single-use plastic plates, bowls, trays, cutlery, balloon sticks and polystyrene food and drink containers cannot be supplied to the public in England.

Are plastic food containers with lids still allowed?

Yes. Plastic containers with lids, used to pack food, are not covered by the England ban. Our clear containers are also made to be washed and reused.
