Non-food for QSR

Food packaging, napkins and bags for QSR chains

Shiiv Imports sources food packaging, napkins, food-hygiene tissue and carry bags for QSR chains, HORECA and foodservice businesses in Australia and New Zealand. These lines can travel on the same brief as the food, and each one is made by a factory that specialises in it.

What does a QSR packaging supplier provide?

Containers, cups, lids, wraps and bags that keep food hot or cold, safe and on brand from the counter to the customer, plus napkins and tissue for the dining room. For a chain, the supplier also keeps sizes, materials and print the same across every store.

Shiiv Imports Pty Ltd is the sourcing partner and importer, not the factory. Material and environmental certifications are held by the factory that makes each product.

Food packaging

Containers, cups and wraps

Containers, cups, lids, clamshells and wraps can be briefed when they belong with the food. Bulk foodservice packs of the catalogue foods sit on the same brief when the kitchen wants them.

Points to cover in a QSR food packaging specification
PointWhy it mattersWhat to state
Material Material decides grease resistance, heat tolerance and what can be claimed about recycling or composting. Paper or board, kraft, moulded fibre or plastic, and any coating or lining.
Size and fit Lids, sleeves and carriers have to fit across every size in the range. Dimensions or volume for each size, and which lids and carriers they must fit.
Food contact Packaging touching food has to be suitable for that use. The foods it will hold, the temperatures, and the food contact documents you need from the factory.
Local rules Rules on single-use plastics differ between Australian states and territories, and New Zealand. The states, territories and markets where the stores trade.
Print Brand print needs colour matching and an approved proof. Plain or printed, colours, print area and artwork files.
Carton and pallet Carton count and size affect storage space in small stores. Units per sleeve and carton, carton dimensions and pallet layout.

Napkins and tissue

Napkins and food-hygiene tissue

Napkins, hand towels, toilet tissue and facial tissue from the Shiiv food and hygiene catalogue can be sourced where they fit a foodservice brief. For napkins, the specification comes down to ply, fold, size, colour, print and the dispenser the napkin must fit.

Points to cover in a napkin specification
PointWhy it mattersWhat to state
Ply and weight Ply and paper weight change how a napkin feels and how many a customer takes. 1, 2 or 3 ply, and a target weight if your current napkin has one.
Fold and size The fold has to suit the dispenser or the counter. Fold type, folded and open size, and the dispenser model.
Colour and print White, natural or brand colours change the look on the tray. Colour, and print details if printed.
Pack count Pack count drives storage and reordering at store level. Napkins per pack and packs per carton.

One brief

Why put packaging on the same brief as the food

A chain that briefs food and packaging together deals with one sourcing partner for both. Pack sizes can be checked against the food they will hold, such as a chip scoop against the chip cut, or a dip cup against the sauce portion. Shiiv still sources each line from a factory that specialises in it.

Plain answers

Questions buyers ask

Can napkins and bags be printed with our brand?

Plain or printed lines can be briefed. Where the chosen factory prints, it prints to your artwork, and a printed sample or proof is approved before production. State the colours, the print area and the quantity in the brief.

Can packaging come on the same brief as the food?

Yes. Containers, cups, wraps, napkins and bags can sit on the same brief as the food lines, so one partner handles the sourcing and import. Each line is still made by a factory that specialises in it.

Do you source compostable or recyclable packaging?

These can be briefed. Compostable or recyclable claims depend on the material and on certification held by the factory for that product, not by Shiiv Imports. Name the claim you need and the states or markets the stores are in, and Shiiv sources a line that suits.

What napkin types can a QSR chain brief?

Dispenser napkins, lunch and dinner napkins, and food-hygiene tissue such as hand towels, toilet tissue and facial tissue. State the ply, fold, size, colour and the dispenser the napkin has to fit.
