Sandwich Wedges, Platter Boxes and Deli Packaging for Catering

For grab-and-go sandwiches, a wedge or deepfill sandwich box with a window is the standard. Clear rPET wedges show off the filling, and kraft deepfill boxes give a more natural look. Made-to-order sandwiches can simply be wrapped in greaseproof paper. Breakfast baps go in bap bags with a film window. For office lunches and events, kraft platter boxes with an insert keep sandwiches neat and upright.

Here is what to use for each kind of order.

Which sandwich box should I use?

Pack	Best for	Pack size	Price ex VAT
Kraft deepfill sandwich box	Grab-and-go fridges, a natural look	500	€76.50
Deep fill rPET sandwich wedge	Full view of the filling	500	€59.50
Greaseproof sandwich wrap	Made-to-order sandwiches and rolls	960 sheets	€27.99

Deepfill boxes suit generously filled sandwiches. If your sandwiches are thinner, the filling can slide around, so do a test pack first.

What do I use for breakfast baps and rolls?

• Breakfast bap bags with film window: 228x200mm bags that show the bap and keep it warm. A staple in Irish deli counters.
• Kraft windowed flat bags: in 210x210mm and 250x250mm, for rolls, pastries and wraps.
• Wrapping paper: for a roll eaten straight away, a sheet of greaseproof paper does the job.

Which platter box suits catering orders?

Kraft platter boxes with a window and insert keep sandwiches, wraps or pastries upright and on show. They stack well for delivery to an office or event.

Size	Dimensions	Holds roughly	Price ex VAT
Medium platter box	350x240x82mm	A small meeting	€43.99 per 25
Large platter box	450x311x82mm	A larger group or mixed platter	€52.99 per 25

How many sandwiches fit depends on how you cut them, so try a test layout before quoting a customer.

What about salads and hot lunches for catering?

• Lunchipak windowed boxes in 850ml and 1200ml suit salads, pasta and individual lunches.
• Hinged salad containers are covered in the soup containers and deli pots guide.
• Hot mains go in bagasse or kraft boxes. See bagasse vs kraft vs plastic containers.

Add napkins and cutlery to every catering order. See our napkins guide.

Do I need to label pre-packed sandwiches?

Allergen information has to be available for the food you sell, including sandwiches made and packed on site. A clear label on each pack is the simplest way to give it, especially in a self-serve fridge. Rules differ for different types of food, so check the current FSAI guidance for your business, and see our 14 allergens guide.

For dates and rotation in the fridge, day dot labels keep things simple.

What is a deepfill sandwich box?

What should I put breakfast rolls in?

Bap bags with a film window are the usual choice. They show the roll and keep it warm.

How many sandwiches fit in a platter box?

It depends on the cut. Try a test layout. The large box holds more than the medium, and suits larger groups.
