Products & Materials

What products do you supply?

Drinkware (paper cups, cold cups, lids and sleeves), food containers and bowls, bags, cutlery and tableware, catering and bakery packaging, food wrap, hygiene and cleaning supplies, and packaging supplies. Browse the full range or download our catalogue.

What materials do you use?

We prioritise renewable, responsibly sourced and lower-impact materials: paper and paperboard, sugarcane bagasse, PLA bioplastic, and wood and bamboo.

What is sugarcane bagasse?

Bagasse is made from reclaimed sugarcane fibre left over after sugar production. It’s durable and suits both hot and cold food.

What is the difference between aqueous coated and PLA-lined cups?

Both replace a conventional plastic lining. An aqueous coating is a water-based dispersion coating that gives moisture resistance with reduced synthetic polymer content. A PLA lining is a plant-derived moisture barrier used in compostable packaging.

What is PLA?

PLA is a plant-based alternative to conventional plastic, commonly used for cup linings, lids and cold cups and containers.

Where can I find product sizes and pack quantities?

Sizes and carton quantities are listed on each product page. Contact us if you need more detailed specifications.

Custom Print

What can you custom print?

Coffee cups and lids, cold drink cups, takeaway containers, paper and carry bags, pizza boxes, napkins and food paper, and plates, trays and packaging accessories.

How does custom printing work?

Send us your products and quantities, then your logo or design files. We prepare a digital proof for your approval, produce your order and deliver it to you.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Minimum order quantities may apply, depending on the product. We’ll confirm them with your quote.

What is the lead time?

Production time depends on the product and design. Timeframes are confirmed when we quote.

Sustainability & Disposal

What’s the difference between “biodegradable” and “compostable”?

“Biodegradable” only means a material will eventually break down, with no set timeframe or conditions. “Compostable” means it’s designed to break down into compost under specific composting conditions within a defined time.

How should I dispose of compostable packaging?

Compostable packaging should go to a composting facility that accepts it. Facilities differ between councils, so we encourage customers to check local disposal pathways and composting options.

Which products are recyclable?

Many of our paper and board products are widely recyclable, along with other recyclable packaging in our range. Recycling rules vary by council, so check what your local service accepts.

What does Ecofox do to support responsible packaging?

We support compostable product ranges, recyclable packaging, FSC-certified paper products (where available) and reduced-plastic alternatives, and aim to give clear information so you can make informed choices.
