Christmas eco sandwich packaging
We've got it all wrapped up

Have you noticed that Christmas cups seem to get all the attention? Of course, we love our retro jolly festive cups. Still, our customers’ seasonal sandwiches need to stand out on the shelves (for the elves) too. Whether you’re going for brie and cranberry, turkey with stuffing, or nut roast, you need sandwich packaging to match. To ensure that it is a merry Christmas this year and for years to come, the only choice is compostable sandwich packaging.

Christmas sandwich labels to seal the deal

That’s where our berry-red festive stickers and Christmas sheet food labels come in to add the final eco touches to your Christmas meal deal offerings. They are designed to offer the perfect way to add a touch of seasonal charm into your sarnies. It’s a sustainable solution to avoid excess, unwanted stock and save on storage space. The Festive Favourites sticker showcases four retro seasonal designs – snowflake, candy cane, holly and ‘Seasons Greetings’.  Just peel and seal the Christmas grab and go.

With all this in mind, here are the Planglow team’s top 5 ways to wrap up your sandwich packaging for a festive gourmet to go.

1.The deep-fill sandwich wedge

If your customers cannot indulge at Christmas, when can they? These compostable deep-fill sandwich wedges are roomy enough for a real festive feast. Think turkey, pigs in blankets, all the trimmings and much more. The large plant-based viewing window shows off your sandwiches in their seasonal glory and is 100% home compostable too. The smart bio laminate also seals in the freshness so that you can reduce food waste this Crimbo.

2. Bloomer sandwich box

Stack your sandwiches high to help out the busy elves with our bloomer boxes. The bloomer box is, of course, home compostable and so you can do good this Christmas too. Our customers love these stackable wonders, as they can differentiate your product ranges during the festive season and all year round. The bloomer box is not just about sandwiches but also a neat way to package up Christmas cakes and any other holiday treats and snacks your culinary imagination conjures up. 

3. Standard-fill sandwich wedge

This standard-fill sandwich packaging is just the ticket for slender, slimmer portions to cater to customers looking for value or healthier options. But don’t worry, it’s not all about restraint. This standard size sandwich packaging is a great way to increase add-on sales by partnering with soup, salads, snacks - or a mince pie or two. As with all our packaging, this diminutive sandwich pack is 100% compostable. The mini sandwich wedge packaging can also come in handy for child-portions.

4. Eco salad pack for the bah-humbug to sandwich types

OK, we know we’re cheating a little here by including a salad pack. However, caterers need an alternative for customers who desire a taste of Christmas but are cutting down on carbs or looking for gluten-free options. What about spicy cauliflower with pomegranate seeds and grains? Perfect for your vegan to-go offering. 

5. Compostable Christmas deli paper

With the retro Festive Favourites deli paper, you can wrap up your sarnies just like another Christmas pressie under the tree. The pretty, teal-coloured seasonal print of candy canes, snowflakes and holly help to highlight all your festive offerings. The grease-resistant sheet is both home and industrially compostable as well as being recyclable. Alternatively, you can use the deli paper to line lunch trays and bakery boxes or serve seasonal hot foods.
