PackagingFood2Go is the online storefront of Celebration Packaging Limited, a Burton-on-Trent company that has been trading since 1983. The site is dedicated to takeaway and disposable packaging for food and drink, with UK delivery.

Brands and materials

Two main ranges are highlighted: EnviroWare®, described as eco-friendly packaging, and SolutionWare, for plastic packaging. EnviroWare was launched in 2007 and is made from natural, sustainable and renewable resources, including clear PLA (plant starch), bagasse (non-wood fibres) and FSC-certified materials. Celebration has also introduced hinged salad containers, salad bowls and clear cold drink cups made from rPET recycled plastic, a material the company says retains the clarity, durability and resilience of virgin PET and can be recycled again after use. Some plastic packaging, such as polypropylene Versa2Go containers, can be reused at home to store leftover food.

Quality, stock and sourcing

Celebration Packaging states that it works with numerous manufacturers worldwide and partners only with those that meet its standards. It cites BRC and ISO accreditation as endorsements and says it holds large quantities of stock, while larger orders can be shipped directly from the manufacturer. The company also offers free sample packs on request by email.
