Food Packaging Cardiff
Cardiff’s food and drink scene has grown well beyond the traditional city centre pubs and cafes. Cardiff Bay’s restaurants, the independent cafes and bakeries along Wellfield Road and City Road, the growing food-to-go trade around Cathays and the student population, and the covered stalls inside the Victorian Cardiff Market all rely on the same thing: packaging that holds up on a busy service and looks the part when a customer walks out the door with it.
Wyatt & Ackerman supplies branded and unbranded food packaging to restaurants, cafes, takeaways, hotels and catering businesses across Cardiff, from our depot in Bedminster, Bristol, around 45 miles away over the Severn Bridge. It’s a longer run than some of the areas closer to home, so we build Cardiff orders into a regular delivery schedule and always give you an honest lead time up front rather than a same-day promise we can’t keep.

Packaging for Cardiff's restaurants, cafes and takeaways
Whatever kind of food business you run in Cardiff, we can supply packaging to match it:
- Fish & chip boxes and takeaway containers for the city’s chippies and fast food outlets, from the centre out to Canton, Grangetown and Whitchurch.
- Bakery and cafe packaging including paper bags, cake boxes and sandwich packs, suited to the independent cafes and coffee shops around Pontcanna, Roath and the arcades in the city centre.
- Branded carrier bags for retailers and delis wanting their bag to double up as free advertising on Cardiff’s shopping streets and inside the Victorian and Edwardian market arcades.
- Catering disposables including cutlery, napkins and trays for hotels, event caterers and the hospitality trade that gears up around international rugby and football weekends at Principality Stadium.
- Till rolls and stationery supplies to keep the rest of a food business running alongside its packaging.
Why branding your packaging matters in a capital city like Cardiff
As Wales’s capital, Cardiff pulls in a steady mix of tourists, students and matchday crowds on top of its everyday footfall, and a lot of that trade is a first-time customer rather than a regular. A branded box or bag does two jobs at once: it reminds the customer who they bought from once they’re home, and on a stadium weekend or a busy Saturday in the Bay, it gets seen by thousands of other people in the space of a few hours.
We work with you to put your logo and colours onto the packaging you already need, so branding is not an added expense so much as a better use of something you were going to buy anyway.
Eco-friendly packaging for Cardiff’s food businesses
Cardiff Council has pushed hard on reducing single-use plastic across the city, and a growing number of independent restaurants and cafes are making the switch ahead of any requirement to do so. We supply a full range of biodegradable and recyclable packaging alongside our standard range, including compostable takeaway boxes, paper-based alternatives to plastic bags, and recycled carrier bags, so a switch to a greener supplier doesn’t mean a switch away from the box or bag your customers already recognise.
As we’re based in Bristol, Cardiff sits across the Severn Bridge from us, so most orders are delivered within two to three working days of being confirmed. We’ll always confirm a realistic timeframe when you order, and can talk through options if you need something more urgently.
Minimum order quantities vary by product. Our team can talk you through the options for your business, whether you’re a single cafe or a group with several sites across Cardiff and the wider Vale of Glamorgan.
