Free takeaway packaging for shops

Let someone else pay for your boxes.

Your pizza boxes, burger boxes, cups and bags already leave the shop with every order. Carry an advert from another business and your packaging comes free, or at a discount where the run allows.

Most offers are free, some are discounted. It depends on the product and the campaign, and you see the offer before anything is printed.

What changes for you

Same packaging. Somebody else's bill.

How it works

Four steps. Two minutes of your time.

The only thing you do is fill in a short form and say yes to an offer you like.

Start now
  1. STEP 1

    Tell us what you use

    Your packaging, sizes and roughly how many a week. About two minutes.

  2. STEP 2

    We find a campaign

    An advertiser who wants your area and uses your packaging and size.

  3. STEP 3

    You approve the offer

    Quantity, design and price. Nothing is printed until you say yes.

  4. STEP 4

    Packaging arrives

    Use it as normal. The advert goes home with every order.

You stay in control

Your packaging. Your rules.

Tell us which adverts you'd rather not carry, like other takeaways, and we never offer you those campaigns. Some adverts we never run at all, whoever is paying.

  • You see every design before it's printed
  • Say no to any offer, no questions asked
  • Change your preferences at any time
What you can receive

Every campaign is worked out on its own.

  • Most common

    Free packaging

    The packaging carries the advertiser's design. Your share costs you nothing.

  • Where the run allows

    Discounted, with your logo

    Your brand sits next to the advert, at a reduced price.

  • Larger quantities

    Shared, each shop branded

    One campaign printed in batches, each with its own shop's logo.

What it looks like

Your logo stays. The advert sits underneath.

On a discounted run your own brand keeps the main spot on the bag or cup, and the advertiser takes a smaller space below it. On a free run, the advertiser's design covers the packaging.

Packaging that can carry an advert.

Free takeaway packaging works on the things you already hand out. See what each one looks like when TradePack prints it.

Questions shops ask.

Is the packaging always free?

No. It depends on the product, the quantity and the campaign. Some arrangements are free, others are discounted. You see the offer before anything is printed, and you can say no.

Can I keep my own logo on the packaging?

Sometimes. If the run allows two brands on the same packaging, your logo can sit next to the advert, usually at a reduced price rather than free.

Which packaging can carry an advert?

Pizza boxes, burger boxes, chips boxes, chicken buckets, food boxes and bowls, hot and cold cups, paper bags, twisted handle bags, delivery bags and napkins.

Can I choose which adverts appear on my packaging?

Yes. You tell us which types of business you'd rather not promote, such as other takeaways, and we only offer you campaigns that fit. We never run adverts for gambling and betting, tobacco and vaping, adult content, payday and high-cost loans or political campaigns.

Do I have to change anything in my shop?

No. You use the packaging exactly as you do now. The only difference is what's printed on it.

How much packaging would I get?

Your share of a run is based on how much you use, so it lasts you a sensible amount of time. We tell you the quantity in the offer.

What if there's no campaign in my area yet?

You stay on our list. When an advertiser wants to reach customers near you on the packaging you use, we contact you.
