We have worked hard to introduce a product that is influencing the future of food delivery, by listening to customers’ expectations and food providers’ needs, while watching changing industry regulations.
We know that brands in the fiercely competitive UK fast food market are looking for innovative ways to stand out and capture greater market share. Consumers are also calling for urgent action from food outlets to safeguard their orders. If delighting customers is the priority, it’s vital to assess all touchpoints in the customer journey to make that happen. The final delivery stage is more than a token moment – it can leave a lasting impression that fosters customer loyalty.
We are delighted to be considered a leader and innovator in the UK packaging industry and look forward to the winner being announced at London Packaging Week.”

Increasing expectations in a thriving market:
The projected revenue of the UK Online Food Delivery market is expected to reach US$63.75bn by 2029 from US$44.76bn in 2024. Customer experience has become a complex area for fast food brands, comprising not only ease of ordering and speed, but food quality and the safe and secure arrival of the order. Critically, 44% of adults wouldn’t order from the same place after a bad food delivery.
About Seal2Go Tab Lok paper bags:
Therefore, providing tamper-evident food delivery bags in the UK is likely to increase brand trust, both for the food outlet and delivery partner. CCS McLays’ Seal2Go Tab Lok paper bags feature an integrated tamper-evident system.
The bags come equipped with foldable adhesive closure tabs and tamper-proof score cuts, which not only reinforces the integrity of the contents but also provides reassurance to the restaurant, driver and consumer. Additionally, built-in vent holes allow for proper air circulation, helping to maintain the freshness and quality of the food during transit.
We look forward to hearing the Food Packaging award winner announced on 16th October and please register for the show to meet with CCS McLays.
