Food Truck Packaging Sydney: The Complete Kit List

A Sydney food truck needs five types of packaging in every restock: cups, containers, food paper, cutlery with napkins, and carry bags. Packery sells all five by the carton in a single order with no minimum order, and every product page shows the carton price and the price per item, so you can cost each serve before you buy.

Key takeaways

• One order can cover the whole truck: cups, containers, greaseproof paper, cutlery pouches with napkins, and bags.
• Per-item prices in this kit run from $0.02 each for a flat kraft bag (see the product page for the current price).
• Delivery: a flat fee by postcode, free over a set order amount (see shipping).
• Orders are prepaid online.
• Damaged or faulty items are replaced or refunded free; unopened stock cartons can be returned within 7 days of delivery (10% restocking fee, return delivery at your cost).

What goes in a complete food truck packaging kit?

A working kit is one or two products per job: a cup, a container for the main, paper to line or wrap it, cutlery with a napkin, and a bag. The table lists options for each job with carton quantity and price per item.

You don't need every line: pick one of each, plus a second container if the menu needs it.

Which cups should a food truck carry?

For a coffee or hot chocolate service, the 8oz Aqueous Coated Coffee Cups – Double Wall Art Print are $0.11 each, or $54.90 per carton of 500. If you sell a larger size, the 12oz Kraft Coffee Cups – Lined SW Print 90mm are $0.14 each, or $135.09 per carton of 1000.

The 8oz cup is double wall aqueous-coated paper with a multi-colour art print. The 12oz cup is PLA-lined kraft paper and can be custom printed with your logo. Check the product pages for matching lids.

Which containers suit a food truck menu?

Match the container to the dish: a clamshell for burgers, a snack box for chips, noodle boxes for rice and noodles, and a lunch box for larger meals. The 9x6x3 Sugarcane Takeaway Container – Unbleached Clamshell is $0.19 each ($37.40 per carton of 200) and is made from sugarcane fibre in a natural colour.

For fries, nuggets or loaded chips, the Corrugated Takeaway Container – Brown Snack Box Large Plain measures 205x106x76mm and is $0.20 each ($40.66 per carton of 200). It's corrugated board and can be custom printed.

Noodle, rice and stir-fry trucks usually need two sizes. The 8oz PLA Takeaway Container – Coated Noodle Box is $0.12 each ($124.59 per carton of 1000) for sides and small serves, and the 32oz PLA Takeaway Container – Coated Noodle Box is $0.28 each ($142.00 per carton of 500) for mains. Both are brown paper with a PLA coating.

For a big plated-style meal, the PLA Takeaway Container – Coated Lunch Box Extra Large measures 197x140x90mm and is $0.58 each ($116.64 per carton of 200). Add the 2oz Sugarcane Serving Container – Cup Unbleached for sauces at $0.04 each ($78.62 per carton of 2000). For more on pots, see our guide to disposable sauce cups.

How do I cover napkins, cutlery, food paper and bags?

The simplest way to cover cutlery and napkins is a cutlery pouch that includes a napkin. The Kraft Cutlery – White Pouch With Napkin is $0.13 each ($134.88 per carton of 1000). The Kraft Cutlery – Pouch With Napkin, with a bamboo napkin, costs less at $0.06 each ($58.23 per carton of 1000).

Greaseproof paper is used to line baskets and wrap burgers. The Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham sheet is 190x300mm and $0.03 each ($5.85 per carton of 200).

For bags, the Kraft Bag – 2WB Flat is 200x200mm and $0.02 each ($9.05 per carton of 500), which suits a single burger, a pastry or a cutlery pouch. For multi-item orders, the Kraft Bag – Brown Twisted Handle Takeaway Medium is 305x305x175mm, made from recycled paper, and $0.20 each ($49.25 per carton of 250).

Which one should I buy?

Start from what your truck sells most, then add the basics.

• Coffee van or dessert truck: 8oz Aqueous Coated Coffee Cups – Double Wall Art Print for the main cup, plus the Kraft Bag – 2WB Flat for pastries and sweets.
• Burger or wrap truck: the 9x6x3 Sugarcane Takeaway Container – Unbleached Clamshell, Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham for wrapping, and the 2oz Sugarcane Serving Container – Cup Unbleached for sauce.
• Chips and loaded fries: the Corrugated Takeaway Container – Brown Snack Box Large Plain, with gingham paper as a liner if you want the look.
• Noodle, rice or curry truck: the 8oz PLA Takeaway Container – Coated Noodle Box for sides and the 32oz size for mains, with the Kraft Cutlery – White Pouch With Napkin.

If you want your logo on the truck's packaging, custom printing is available on selected products, including the 12oz kraft cup, the snack box, the lunch box, the cutlery pouches and the flat kraft bag. See custom print for details. If you're buying larger volumes across the menu, our guide to takeaway containers in bulk covers carton planning.
