Why catering businesses choose QIS Packaging

Catering is one of the most demanding packaging environments in the food industry. You need products that handle the full chain — from prepping food in a commercial kitchen days in advance, to transporting it safely to a venue, to serving it professionally on the day. A supply shortage on the morning of a big event isn't an option.

QIS Packaging supplies Australian catering businesses, event caterers, corporate food services and mobile kitchens with the right products at the right quantities:

  • Butchers paper rolls & sheets — for lining trays, wrapping portions, covering prep surfaces, and table covers at venues
  • Rectangular food containers — clear, stackable, and leak-resistant for individual portion delivery and plated catering
  • Commercial vacuum sealer bags — for sous vide cooking, marinating, and prepping food days in advance without quality loss
  • Brown paper grocery bags — heavy-duty SOS bags for packing and carrying catering orders and individual meal kits
  • Sauce cups & portion containers — for dressings, dips, condiments and sides at events and corporate lunches
  • Paper napkins — 1-ply and 2-ply options for buffet, sit-down and finger food catering setups

Everything is available in commercial quantities with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 12pm, Mon–Fri, and delivered Australia-wide.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from Australian catering businesses, event caterers and corporate food services.

What packaging do catering businesses need for transporting food to venues?
The most essential packaging for catering transport includes: large brown paper SOS bags for carrying individual items and portions; rectangular plastic food containers for pre-plated meals and salads; butchers paper or food wrapping paper to line trays and protect food surfaces; and sauce cups for condiments. For events where food is prepared days in advance, commercial vacuum sealer bags allow food to be portioned, sealed and refrigerated or frozen until the day of service.
What is butchers paper used for in catering?
Butchers paper (food wrapping paper) has many uses in catering: lining serving trays and platters, wrapping sandwiches and wraps for individual portions, covering prep tables at the venue, wrapping whole proteins for transport, and as a hygienic surface cover on buffet tables. Our butchers paper rolls come in widths from 450mm to 1215mm — the wider 915mm and 1215mm rolls are particularly popular with caterers for covering long tables at events. Pre-cut sheets are more convenient for high-speed portioning at prep.
Are commercial vacuum bags suitable for catering food prep?
Yes. Commercial vacuum sealer bags are ideal for catering businesses that prepare food in advance. Vacuum sealing removes oxygen to significantly extend shelf life, prevents freezer burn, and enables sous vide cooking at precise temperatures. Our commercial vacuum bags (in-chamber type, 70µm) come in sizes from 200×150mm to 400×400mm — suitable for individual portions, proteins, and bulk prep. They are used by professional kitchens, caterers and food manufacturers across Australia.
What containers are best for serving individual portions at catering events?
Rectangular plastic food containers (500ml, 650ml, 750ml, or 1000ml) are the most popular choice for catering businesses serving individual plated portions. The clear plastic allows guests to see the food inside, lids click on securely for transport, and they are stackable for easy delivery. For salads, cold dishes and buffet-style service, round containers are a popular alternative. Both rectangular and round containers are available in cartons of 500 for bulk catering orders.
Can I order catering packaging in large quantities?
Yes. All QIS Packaging products are sold in bulk quantities designed for commercial use — food containers come in cartons of 500, brown paper bags in packs of 100–500, and butchers paper rolls by the 500-metre roll. We also offer a 5% price-beat guarantee: if you find the same product cheaper elsewhere, we'll match it and beat it by 5%. For large or recurring catering orders, contact our team to discuss pricing and set up an account.
How quickly will my catering packaging order arrive?
Orders placed before 12pm Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day from our Brisbane warehouse. Metro areas typically receive delivery within 1–3 business days; regional and rural areas 3–7 business days. We deliver Australia-wide including Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, and Hobart. For urgent catering orders ahead of an event, contact our team and we'll do our best to prioritise dispatch.
